We’re always encouraging our couples to look at their photos, and to look at them often! Why? Just because. When you go through your photos for the simple purpose of reminiscing over them, to enjoy your loving expressions, you’ll likely find that the emotion drawn up by the images can be very powerful. After all, you worked hard to look as fantastic as you do in those photos, and we work hard to find the mood that best expresses you in pictures!
We enjoy these images just as much as you do. I was recently perusing at random through some of our past engagement photos sessions and found a few that I wanted to share.

The feelings evoked by photos like these, whether contained in art-mounted prints or in book collections, is priceless. It’s one reason why we cherish the time you give us during the shoot to create pieces like these, and we know you will, too.
Portrait work is yet another facet of photography that gives us great joy. A good portrait has the power to say a lot about you, to project a statement about yourself and your image. So we were pleased and honored when Stacey Karesh, the Manager of Public Relations for Neiman Marcus Westchester, contacted us to request portraits for herself and for Beth Sharkey, the Vice President and General Manager. As both of them were beautiful, confident and accomplished women, they were winning subjects for our camera, and we genuinely enjoyed their photo sessions.

As many of our brides know, Neiman Marcus Westchester is a leader in the region when it comes to keeping the community up-to-date on contemporary fashion trends. With a broad selection of luxury merchandise and superior customer service to match, you won’t lack for anything when visiting this beautiful store. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
P.S. - A kind note of thanks to Lina, Stacey’s assistant, whose help with hot tea and water saved Jenni’s throat during her bout of laryngitis.
What an absolute joy it was to see Trish & Noel again! Although it was a cold and blustery day, nothing could dampen their good mood and enthusiasm for getting together with us for their portrait session. Trish’s engaging eyes and smile brighten a room, and Noel’s sense of humor and a good time kept us laughing through the entire shoot. They each looked fantastic. They tightly held on to one another during the outdoor portion of the session, making for some warm and fashionably romantic photos, supporting each other through the chill.
Trish & Joel: You did a fabulous job! We can’t wait to show you all the rest of the photos! We know how excited you are about your photography, and this gives us so many reasons to look forward to our time with you at the VIP Country Club later this year.
P.S. - Jenni and I loved hearing the sound of your Irish accents again. We could listen to you two talk all day long! 
For now, here are a couple of previews while we prepare the rest of the gallery for viewing. It will be available soon in the “Client Proof” area of our main website. We love hearing from our couples and our readers, so please leave us a comment!

Jackie & Chaz Montgomery are absolutely in love with their album, and we couldn’t be more pleased at their reaction to it. There is nothing quite like seeing all of those photos gathered into a beautiful story-telling format. Jackie & Chaz are just perfect for one another and are without a doubt one of the sweetest and most heartfelt couples we’ve met. We wish the best for them and their new home!

After recently receiving their album, Jackie replied with the following rave:
OMG!!! We love the album!!! It is a work of art - an absolute masterpiece. Words cannot express how happy we are looking through and reliving such a perfect day. Thank you for capturing such beautiful pictures, thank you, thank you, thank you… we could never say it enough! You are both truly amazing!
“There is no time like the present.”
No doubt you’ve heard that familiar phrase. One meaning is that the moment in which you find yourself right now cannot be duplicated at any place, or at any other moment, by anyone in the past, present, or future. That expression also implies a sense of joy in experiencing what stands before you - right now.
In a similar spirit, there have been no couples quite like those we had the pleasure of getting to know during the year of 2007. Some were incredibly funny. Some were quietly intense. Others were completely enveloped with emotion. All were beautiful people. We’d like to show them to you in a slideshow you can enjoy by clicking the following link:
And please leave us a comment. We’d love to hear back from each of you again.

It seems that each time we get together with Jesyca & Bill for their session with little Alexander, we have more and more reasons to smile and laugh. I mean, how could we NOT!?
This time around, the little guy is not quite so little anymore. He’s grown so much since we last saw him four months ago — just as cute, but this time four months older, a head full of brown hair, eyes as bright and wide as you can imagine, and smiles that were broad and totally toothless. He is incredible.
We’d like to share a photo of him here. His full gallery of playtime with his parents will be available very soon. Just contact them directly for the password to gain access.

Anyone who visits our studio knows I like to tell stories about our pictures. I think it’s more than wonderful to be given a privileged and personal look at how a couple’s wedding day is impacting their feelings. Moment by moment you can see their changing emotion and expression.
For example, when exactly does a couple realize they are joined together at the most amazing moment in time that has ever happened for them? We take it as a personal challenge to try to find that defining moment.
The image seen below easily illustrates one of those moments for Jamie & Paul. As they sat during the ceremony, there was a period when they each looked at one another and then simultaneously, as if connected by the same magical thought, they looked down at the wedding bands that signified their union, while Jamie held and lovingly caressed Paul’s hand. It lasted for only a second, but it was a pure and amazing moment.
