Laura & Chris sent an incredibly sweet note immediately after returning home from their honeymoon. Kind words like these are reminders of why we’re so thankful to have such appreciative clients like this, who excite us about doing our very best for them.

Hi Jenni

Do you ever get tired of hearing how wonderful you are??  If so, I apologize in advance for fluffing your ego even more with this email….

I no longer have enough fingers or toes left to count the number of people who have called, emailed, texted, or literally stopped me face to face to tell me how amazing the wedding was and how absolutely stunning our photos are.  People have gone so far as to say that they are the most incredible images they have ever seen.  To each and everyone of these friends and family, I have done nothing but smile, cry and praise your names.  Your work has filled our hearts with so much joy and Chris & I are honored to be able to carry these amazing photographs, and the memories they evoke, with us for the rest of our lives.

We have been perusing and discussing the images nonstop and will likely be calling upon your expertise to help us create the best storybook possible. We have so much confidence in you both and your work has done nothing but illustrate to us that you are our best resource.

A whole hearted thank you once again!

Laura

The perfection of Amber & Matthew’s wedding day was threatened by a NY heat wave and thunderstorms, but neither of these could lessen their infectious energy, emotion, and excitement over saying their marriage vows before all their family and friends. Amber was savoring each and every moment of their whirlwind day with her bridesmaids. We were delighted by her hot pink shoes and her earrings of vivid pink crystals. Meanwhile, Matt and his guys were getting themselves ready in a nearby room, with Matt helping each of his buddies put together the finishing touches on their tuxes before receiving several warm embraces from overjoyed family members. Amber & Matt, your devotion to one another and to your families is such a strength to you both, and we are incredibly thankful to have been a part of your day.

One our happiest experiences is to be one of the first faces a newborn baby gets to know, often within its first week of life. Meeting little Aliyah was really special for us because we’ve also known and gotten to photograph her big sister since before Day #1. What an awesome privilege to be a part of Jasmine & Josh’s family since their children’s earliest days! Aliyah was calm and relaxed during her photos session and definitely loved to interact even at this early age. We can’t wait to watch her grow in the days to come!

We recently got to meet our newest tiny little friend, Liliana. Just as beautiful as her mother, and quiet and strong as her father, she was such a joy to photograph. Congratulation to Anna & Javier! Thank you so much for letting us capture your adorable little girl. It’s going to be so much fun watching her grow.

More with Anna & Javier.

Westchester Magazine has done it again! Hosting their annual Best of Westchester Party at the beautiful Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, NY, all VIP and invited guests were given real red carpet treatment into this extravaganza. This premiere event is always the perfect opportunity for a variety of vendors to show off the very best that Westchester County has to offer in the most delicious dining destinations, sensational stores, amazing after-hours entertainment, uncontested culture, superlative shops and services, and stunning spas. If you want to sample all that Westchester has to offer by way of restaurants, shops, drinks, cultural institutions, service providers, kid wranglers, and more, then this is absolutely THE party you need to attend to discover everything that makes Westchester County the exciting, vibrant place that it is. It’s always a pleasure to be the magazine’s Go-To photographers for events like this. Seeing faces of celebrities (got to talk brieefly with Alan Kalter, the announcer for Late Show with David Letterman) , reacquainting with friends both old and new, and rubbing shoulders with familiar colleagues is one of the things we most look forward to doing each summer. It’s an New York event like no other!

We first met Melissa & Michael at Joette & Patrick’s wedding, and we could tell even then just how much love  they have for one another, as well as for their two adorable little girls. When Melissa asked if we could take some relaxed lifestyle portraits of their beautiful family, we jumped at the opportunity to do so. In the gorgeous open setting of a wonderful horse farm, they and their girls were able to show us what a fun-loving, happy family they are. The girls looked forward even more to changing into their ballerina tutus. Too cute! We had a great time on this family outing.

Even though it was our first time meeting Andrea & Justin face-to-face, we felt as though we’d known them for quite a while. They love taking walks around the town of Princeton, NJ, so it was an ideal place to join them for their engagement photo session. Keeping them close and connected in the middle of Princeton University’s beautiful camps was a true joy, and we loved how Andrea’s elegance and their mutual warmth shone through in the photos. Their wedding day at The Venetian is going to be fabulous!

Stephanie & George’s wedding was the first of several July weddings for us, and what a great way to start the month!  Stephanie was stunning from head to toe, beautifully statuesque in her Maggie Sottero gown, and we were able to take advantage of it with some unique bridal photos. With the gorgeous Hudson River as their backdrop, their ceremony was followed by a loving first dance and an even more emotional set of parent dances. We loved seeing that the overjoyed couple truly had fun with one another and danced their perfect night away with their friends.

Enjoy the preview of photos above. The complete gallery will be available soon in the “Boutique” area of our main website. We love hearing from each of you, so please leave your comments below and be sure to let Stephanie & George know you “Like” their photos!

When we first met Erin & George, we were ALL so excited about the prospects of working together that our first day of shooting couldn’t come soon enough! This beautifully upbeat couple truly put their hearts and devotion to one another into their session. Erin even went shopping in NYC and came away with an amazing new outfit chosen just for our shoot. Awesome! We love the way they allowed us to play with the evening’s dramatic light. Best of all, we had a great time simply getting to know them even better. And now it’s their wedding day at the Tides Estate that can’t come soon enough. Can’t wait to do this again with them!

We’ve known Jean for a long time now, as she was one of the friendliest of people we’d ever met at one of our favorite local venues. We used to talk even then about what her own wedding would someday be like. So what an exciting privilege it was when she actually called to ask us to be her wedding photographers! We couldn’t be more thrilled for Jean & Michael. They’d first met at a local Hannaford grocery store, so Jean called the same store to ask if we could have a little photographic fun there. They not only said “yes”, but even brought in a little extra help to clean up and restock the fruit & veggie bins just for our photo shoot.

Thanks so much to Hannaford for letting us have fun there with this fantastic couple. It gave an entirely new meaning to shopping for the best produce! We can’t wait for Jean & Michael’s beautiful wedding day.

Just a few days ago while getting my haircut, the newborn photos of Ryan started flashing through my head. I wanted to come home immediately and watch the DVD of his newborn session.

I enjoyed the photos with Ryan and even had to capture his first viewing of the photos on camera! I thought I would share a few of those shots with you both! He was kissing the computer!!

You both know already how much I admire your art. But today’s moment of sharing the photos with Ryan made me so thankful for having these photos. I know I have a very special treasure for him — one that he can look back upon for many years to come and see just how much he has been loved from the moment he entered this world.

I hope you enjoy a few shots from one of your youngest fans!

A heartfelt thanks to Jamie and little Ryan for reminding us yet again of the precious value of truly meaningful photography. It’s why we love what we do!

We were really happy to meet up with Sora & Alexander for their engagement photos. During the month of June, there’s never any accounting for what the weather might do. But this cute couple took a chance and braved the forecast of impending thunderstorms. And what do you know!! The weather actually held up, while accommodating us with some dramatic changes between clouds and sunshine throughout their fun shoot. We’re each looking even more forward to their wedding day at the Inn at Fox Hollow.

From the time we first met with Nicole & Tom, we knew we wanted to be their photographers. The reason why is easily seen in their photos. We love seeing their sometimes-quirky-but-always-cool approach to one another and to life. Whether sharing a date at an arcade or a romantic walk through a field of wild grass, they gave us insight into what a special couple they are. Photographing their wedding at the fabulous Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers is one of our most eagerly anticipated autumn events.

Anna & Javier are excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first baby, and we couldn’t be happier for them! After having photographed their engagement session and their wedding, we were practically bouncing up and down ourselves at the chance to photograph Anna’s baby bump. Documenting this beautiful couple’s deep love for one another has become one of our most joyous experiences, and we’re counting the days until we meet Liliana when she finally arrives.

We had an exciting time with Melissa & Alex for their engagement photo session! They were perfect partners, bringing out the best in one another for the photos. We loved not only the couple themselves, but also the way they let us play extensively with the dramatic light and shadows the day provided. Melissa pulls off casual glam like nobody’s business, and Alex… well, what a fantastic leading man he was!  Alex and I had a great time talking about Thomas Dean designer shirts… good man!! We’re so happy they’re enjoying their photos in so many artistic ways throughout their home. We really look forward to their summer wedding at The Garrison. Feel free to leave a comment below and let them know that you “Like” their photos as much as we do!

We were so excited to finally meet this great couple, whose wedding is rapidly coming up this summer in Albany.  And what better place to meet a NY couple than in Central Park? It was a delightful afternoon. They enjoyed a picnic of cheese and crackers and wine, and were joined by their really cool mastiff mix, Rufus. Their excellent preparation really paid off for a great looking shoot. We’re so glad they loved so many of their photos and now eagerly anticipate their wedding day even more!

Many of our blog readers may remember our friends Jasmine & Josh, as well as their beautiful little girl, Arianna. We couldn’t be happier to say that they are expecting a new addition to their family! We had such a fun maternity session together, documenting not only Jasmine’s belly, but also 2-year-old Ari’s energetic personality. Enjoy these previews!

We had the tiniest visitor this morning, who eagerly posed for her closeups. Her legs and antennae were so fine, I could barely even see them until I took out my camera to see her up close. Amazing little creature.

Dear Jenni and Ulysses,

Thought we would send you a note to let you two know how much we appreciate you coming down here to visit with us. You made us feel so comfortable, and most important, we really had a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing you at the viewing.

Michael and Erika

We’re definitely anxious to see these two again for their big photo Reveal in our home studio, where they’ll enjoy their first look at the photos and experience some fun and inspiring ways to make use of them!

After a trip to visit family, we’re back in the office taking care of client emails, designing books and albums and wall art, and doing more of our favorite thing — photographing YOU! We’re having a fast-paced and fabulous 2010, and we hope all our wedding and portrait clients are enjoying the same. We have a LOT of couples and families coming soon to the blog, and we can’t wait to show them off! 

If you’d like to enjoy a fabulous experience with two of the happiest photographers on the planet, then take a look around this blog and our website, and contact us ASAP as our calendar is filling up quickly!
