We’ve always known what an incredible couple Melissa & Mark make. You can imagine our excitement at seeing their family grow with the addition of their bouncing baby boy, Mason! The three of them together made for a more-than-delightful family and newborn session. Mason was a perfect baby model for us. It was as if he already knew the routine after his mommy’s maternity session.

We were so happy to be Melissa & Mark’s wedding photographers for what seems like an event that took place only yesterday. But we’re equally as thrilled to be the photographers for Baby Mason. He hasn’t arrived just yet, but he was definitely active and making his presence felt during Melissa’s maternity photos session! She’s just as beautiful, wonderful, and exciting to shoot as she ever was. Melissa and Mark are patiently waiting for Mason to arrive, and so are we!

Enjoy more of our photos with Melissa & Mark.

Jenni & Ulysses,

Where do we start to thank our favorite vendors? Your reputation is stellar, and it is very well-deserved. We could not have been more happy with you and your brilliant work. You were able to capture the most beautiful moments in the most beautiful way, and we are so appreciative. You are both  professionally and personal, and you felt more like guests than vendors.

We will meet again – my friends love you, and I’ll be seeing you at their weddings! Or who knows, maybe a baby session?…

With sincerest thanks,
Melissa  & Mark

Melissa & Mark have been some of our biggest fans since Day #1, so we knew we’d enjoy their wedding day. Melissa was definitely in her glory, and she looked positively radiant in her beautiful diamond-white gown. After a few minutes of photographing some bridals it was off to the church, where Mark was anxious to get under way and see his lovely bride come down the aisle. You could truly feel the energy of everyone’s excitement in the room.

Melissa made sure there were lots of nice little touches throughout the day that emphasized their love for color and variety, and that showcased their personalities. From her awesome hot-pink shoes to the animal print table linens, the theme was all about the fun time that she and Mark have with one another. We were excited to see Mark’s expression at seeing his own groom’s cake, made to look just like his beloved Plymouth Prowler. (a favorite car of mine, too, especially since seeing and photographing it during their engagement session!)  It was a wonderful autumn day for everyone. We’ve got to send a BIG shout of thanks to Melissa & Mark for taking such good care of us with a great meal at the Grandview, and for just all around having such a great time and allowing us to be a part of it with them.

We can’t wait to share all their photos! Their entire wedding photo gallery will be available in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website as soon as Melisssa & Mark return from Hawaii.  Please click the “Comments” link at the top of this entry to leave your thoughts for the happy couple or for us!

Hot candied apples. Hot autumn colors. Hot couple. Hot car!

Those brief words describe perfectly our day of exploration during a sleepy little town’s autumn Applefest celebration.

Guys, you were AWESOME! I don’t need to say anything more!

Melissa & Mark’s e-session bodes very well indeed for the wedding and the reception at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY. We cannot WAIT for our next photo session with them!
