We are not your traditional wedding photographers. So it’s no surprise that on occasion we get asked, “Where are the family photos? I don’t see many on your website or in your album samples.” Another related question might be, “I enjoyed your photographers’ photos, but I wish there had been more family groups.” I’ll take […]

What a gorgeous day we had today for shooting. Although a mild breeze put a chill in the air, there was no chill during our e-session with Cory & Joe. Since it had been a few months since our initial meeting with them, it was good to see them again. They were each in a […]
We easily hit it off with Jennifer & Greg. They have a very close relationship and even work together, so we have a lot in common. The camera loved Jen’s long dark hair and beautiful smile; Greg provided a strong set of loving arms to hold her close. They were natural and just wonderful together. We […]
While visiting Louisiana two months ago for a celebration of my parents’ 50th anniversary, we had the privilege of having Phil Colwart join us to take some beautiful portraits of our family. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of our favorites. It was a hot and humid day, but that didn’t away from our […]
This is probably one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to write. My dad fell asleep in death two days ago. He was loved by nearly everyone who knew him. As for the rest, they all respected him. He will be dearly missed by his wife, children, and all who spent time with […]
I remember the first time we met Chandra & Darrell. When they made the decision to choose us, she said in a very quiet voice, “I’m so excited!” We felt exactly the same way! And we were so happy for them on their wedding day. Their trust in us was complete, giving us added inspiration […]
Megan and Paul are a warm and loving couple who are really excited about their upcoming winter wedding. Despite being an incredibly busy couple, they wanted to make sure to spend some time taking some pictures together before their wedding. The late autumn weather still allowed for some beautiful color, and the Pennsylvania venue we […]
Erin & Matthew’s beautiful day began at the Grand Summit Hotel, where Erin was surrounded by excited and attentive bridesmaids. After exchanging and opening gifts with Matthew (who was in his own room at the other end of the hotel), Erin’s bridesmaids began helping her put on her gown, an incredibly beautiful design by Ulla-Maija […]
We’re usually so happy shooting weddings and engagement sessions that we don’t often get to talk about our love for romantic portrait sessions. That’s exactly the sort of session we had with Sue & Bob. We first met them at a fantastic wedding we shot last autumn. Having had some very friendly conversations with them […]
Mix together in a shaker two parts Patty, two parts Andrew, and one part Ulysses Photography, and what do you get? You get a beautiful day of wedding photos! 🙂 Patty’s gown was by Paloma Blanca, and she was simply gorgeous in the light champagne color with mauve sash. As she put on the veil […]
We love receiving and sharing kind words such as those we received from Lauren’s mom. Read on! HI!! We just received the prints from the wedding and they are gorgeous!! I am still amazed at how you both allowed us to enjoy each moment of the day. From the minute we first saw our daughter […]
Evelyn and Michael are among our most avid blog readers, and we honestly couldn’t wait for their wedding day to arrive. Photos were extremely important to them, so they dedicated LOTS of private time for photos not only before the ceremony, but also afterwards so we could take advantage of the view of New York […]
We’re always amazed at how rapidly things can change during the course of shooting a wedding, particularly with regard to the quickly changing expressions in faces and eyes and smiles. You never know what’s going to happen, so you always have to be ready for the shot! We usually shoot in series because we love […]
I went home. Even though I’ve been in New York for many years, in many ways I’m still a southern boy at heart. My parents raised me, my brother and three sisters in an area just west of New Orleans. I’ve been back to visit on occasion, but this visit was different. It was to […]
Anticipation for Marie & Sal’s wedding was running very high on this beautiful day. After double-checking with his best man, Sam, to make sure they had the wedding rings, we went outside to check on the arrangements for the outdoor ceremony and to take a few pictures of the handsome groom. Meanwhile, Marie had arrived […]
We were positively blown away by so many aspects of Maureen and Andy’s wedding. They could not have asked for a more breathtaking view than that offered at the Onteora Mountain House. Never a couple to completely give in to tradition, Maureen and Andy chose to spend some time together before their outdoor ceremony. It […]
Jesyca and Bill have such a good time together that we knew their wedding day would easily live up to everyone’s expectations! We were greeted by Jesyca with warm hugs, and her excitement was infectious. After she and her bridesmaids got dressed, we went out for some photos. Moments later, two sensational 1959 Cadillacs rolled […]
From the time we first met with Allegra & Jason, we knew we were going to be their photographers. With their genuine passion for one another, as well as their devotion to their family and friends, it was bound to be a beautiful day. Allegra and Jason chose to see one another before their ceremony, […]
When we arrived at the Saratoga Hotel, we found Michelle, her friends and her mother opening gifts and a card from Rob. The excitement and emotion in the room was just wonderful to be a part of. There were tears of happiness and joy in Michelle’s room, while the guys were enjoying their own close-knit […]
With our summer heat wave seeming to be behind us, we were welcomed today with a perfect day for shooting the variety of pictures that we enjoy so much. Sarah and Greg greated us with hugs, and we caught up on how their wedding plans were going. With Sarah dressed in a cute and colorful […]
