Ulysses Photography Blog

We hope you enjoy our blog and the images included in each entry. We always try to show photos that have large doses of fun, creativity, and that will compel you to visit again and again. We want you to enjoy simply clicking around, but not at the expense of making your wrists and fingers tired from all that clicking! So here’s a tip to help take a load off of your valuable joints.

Let’s take a blog entry like Girls Getting Gorgeous! This entry contains eight images for your enjoyment. Now, you could click on each thumbnail to open a larger image, and then click on the word “Close” to remove that larger image when you’re done. Navigating the entire batch of eight images this way would take you 16 clicks.

But try this instead: Click on the first image you want to see larger. Hover your mouse over the right side of the image. You’ll see a tab that says “Next” if there is another image to follow. If you hover your mouse over the left side of the image, you will see a tab that says “Prev” if there is an image previous to this one. And of course, there is the usual “Close X” tab at the bottom right-hand corner of the image. Using this navigation method would take you only nine clicks to see the entire set of images. (Are you now nodding your head knowingly?)

Alternately, you can use your keyboard to navigate the images. Click on any image to open a larger version. Then use the following keyboard keys:

P = Previous photo
N = Next photo
X = Close photo

I hope this helps especially any of you who work a lot at the computer and might have concerns about repetitive stress injuries. We have a LOT of pictures to show you, and we don’t want you to tire out while viewing them!

It might come as no surprise that brides sometimes check our website (and this blog) well before even choosing their wedding venue. Although we’ll probably never get to see every single location in the northeast, we’ve had a chance to visit some spectacular venues and to show them off beautifully in photographs.

Sometimes couples want to make sure that their venue will easily lend itself to pictures. Other times the bride might be looking for decor ideas. Still others simply enjoy looking at pretty pictures as they anticipate their own wedding day.

Whatever the reason, feel free to browse around our main website, specifically in the “Client Proofs” area. If you go there, you’ll see not only a listing of some of our most recent weddings (listed by the bride & groom’s names), but you’ll also see a long list of “Featured Weddings“. This is where you’ll see events listed by venue and location, each gallery with a sampling of images highlighting the beauty of the venue, and sometimes even pictures of the tasty dishes served there.

Another way to get that listing is to go to our Client Proofs Index Page, There you will see the same breakdown of whole wedding galleries, as well as some featured wedding locations. Sometimes we’ll show the same venue at a different time of year so you can get a good idea of what to expect for your own wedding there. We love working at beautiful and interesting locations, whether it is the Belvedere Mansion, Castle on the Hudson, Chateau Hathorn, Hall of Springs, Mohonk Mountain House, Ocean Place Resort, Onteora, Skylands Manor, on a yacht, or on a horse farm.

But more important than the intrinsic beauty of the place is how we’ll make use of it on YOUR wedding day, and how we work together to ensure that you enjoy the experience of great photography. We’re not necessarily traditional or conventional, but we think you’ll love how you look in your photos. So browse around our website! And if you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
