As soon as we met Amanda + Tony, we knew their photos would excite us and give us plenty of reasons to cheer. The cheering is still ongoing because now the the lovely blog, Sparkle & Hay, is taken by their charm and the whimsy of a session in a rowboat not even in the water. We couldn’t have wanted more from this beautiful couple. Check out the article now, and please leave a comment for them!

The only thing that makes our hearts glow more than seeing a couples photos finished in a beautiful album is receiving a note expressing how much they enjoyed the experience with us. Kelly + Chris are two of our absolute favorites, not only because they are among New York’s finest members of the NYPD, but also because they’re refreshingly trusting people. They sent the following kind words:

Jenni and Ulysses, what can I say? You had me at ‘hello.’ The love you two have for each other is rivaled only by the love of your art. Everything you two captured on film is beautiful. I look at all of my pictures and feel such joy. I couldn’t have asked for better people and photographers. It is such an honor and pleasure to know you. I hope this relationship continues through all of life’s joys. We love you both and thank you for perfection on film! Love, Kelly & Chris

As wedding photographers, we go head over heels when we hear back from our couples. That’s especially true when the feedback comes from a couple as unique and as trusting as Tom & Nicole are. We loved that they gave us access and freedom to show off just how beautiful a couple they are. Tom recently wrote a rave for us, and we just had to share it. Thank you so much, Tom + Nicole:

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jenni and Ulysses. The comfort level we had knowing they were our photographers was truly invaluable. Letting people capture your most emotional moments can be an awkward experience, but with Jenni and Ulysses it was always carefree and easy. Our immediate family hit it off with them as well and felt the same comfort level, as they essentially felt more like friends than a vendor during the whole process. 

As far as the photos, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Their versatility really shined through the different kinds of shots, whether it be artsy or candid. I was really impressed at how every unique moment that stuck out in my head during the wedding, and especially on the dance floor, also wound up being captured perfectly in the photo collection. Their instinct of knowing where the priceless moments will be just in time to take the shot — that is truly something special.

I highly recommend Jenni & Ulysses to anyone who is looking for photographers who go that extra mile and produce photos that are far from cookie-cutter, pics that really burst with the great personalities of all your loved ones. And for anyone that may dislike taking photos, rest assure they’ll make it seem painless and an enjoyable experience.

Feedback from our clients is of utmost importance to us. They constantly remind us of the lasting impact on the heart of having something you can actually hold in your hands such as a remarkable album or enjoying favorite photos as art pieces on their walls. James recently sent these very kind words of appreciation, which makes our own hearts sing:

I just wanted to say we absolutely love the albums and the photo proofs. I keep looking at the photos and it takes me right back to the wedding day and the particular moment you caught. Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job!

Ulysses Photography was granted a Bride’s Choice Award 2011 from Wedding Wire, for the 3rd year in a row! Now, Wedding Wire would like us to mention “Ulysses Photography is recognized as part of the top 5 percent of local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network.” But in our opinion, all of that misses the real point of an award like this. After all, awards come and go. So what is the real point of this little accolade?

The Bride’s Choice Award is meant to celebrate the way our couples feel about their photos and about us. The enthusiastic reviews we receive from our amazing couples is a direct reflection of the warm relationships we foster and nourish with our brides & grooms. Our clients are the absolute best on the planet, and we want to ensure that you receive photos and service that is nothing less than spectacular. Therefore, it is such a gift to us when we read the handwritten cards, kind words, amazing reviews, and ecstatic raves our enthusiastic couples leave for us.

A heartfelt “Thank You!” to each of our couples.

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

We’re a huge fan of Victoria & Steven. They’ve continued to keep in touch with us following their wedding, even after the birth of their TWIN boys. So we deeply appreciated Victoria’s kind words and rave about us, as seen on ProjectWedding.com.

I knew from the moment I saw their photos of a wedding at Snug Harbor that I wanted Ulysses Photography for my wedding. I started up a conversation with them via phone and felt comfortable right from the start. Feeling comfortable with the people who will be responsible for capturing some of the most personal and important moments of your life is so important.

Once we actually met for our engagement session photos, I knew without a doubt that these are wonderful people. People who I would invite over for dinner, and want to be friends with!!

And the photos?? Well, what can I say? I am in love with them. Our album is PERFECT. The husband and wife team, for me was the clincher. The fact that they are taking photos from two different perspectives, the male and the female, and from two different simultaneous locations is so special! I recommend them without hesitation.

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Ulysses Photography is one of the very best wedding photographers.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

Ulysses Photography would like to thank our past clients for speaking so enthusiastically on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

We’re really excited that Lara was invited to share in this piece on CBS’s “The Early Show”. She was the first one interviewed and did an awesome job! We’re really proud of her. If you have sharp eyes you’ll notice her fiance, Tom, standing in the crowd while enjoying the show from the sidelines.

We can’t wait to get with these guys for their engagement photo shoot soon! Keep an eye out for them.

Enjoy this preview while we prepare the rest of their gallery, which will be available soon on our main website under “Client Proofs,” and please feel free to post your comments.

We still feel connected to couples such as Jan & Greg, who had a beautiful wedding last summer at Beckwith Pointe in New Rochelle, NY. In fact, we continue to hear from (and work with) mutual friends even as time goes on. Jan & Greg sent this delightful note:

Jenni & Ulysses-

I just saw the pictures of Annie and Jason’s wedding. What can I say but WOW. You both are the most phenomenal photographers I have ever seen. As Greg and I approach our one year anniversary (can you believe it??), I still get emotional when I look at our fabulous album and relive one of the most magical and perfect days of our lives. When I open the album the emotions flood back like we are doing it all over again. I wish we could because we had such a great time! I keep trying to think of what Greg and I could do next to be able to have you both join and capture the moments of our lives as you did our wedding.

I just wanted to drop you both a note to say hi, as we approach our anniversary and wanted you to know how much your work has touched us. When we first met I remember telling you when asked what we were looking for in a photographer was to have someone capture the emotion of the day. I can truly say you did that beyond my wildest imagination. I didn’t ever think we would have what we have, and for that I thank you.

You are both wonderful, fun and caring individuals. Please stay in touch. If you are ever in California, please let us know.

Jan & Greg, we can tell that things are going so well for you out on the west coast. With the way we’re traveling these days, we may yet see you out there sometime soon! We’ll certainly keep in touch.
