Tiffany + Justin’s wedding day was their own beautifully unique blend of awesome! With elements of Tiffany’s Caribbean heritage fused with Justin’s Italian background, we couldn’t help but smile the entire time as we photographed them. The entire celebration was full of joy, laughter, and energetic dancing. And don’t even get us started on the breathtaking views of the clouds from the hills in this area of the Hudson Valley! You can probably tell we were entranced with the scenery. We’re so glad to be their photographers! 🙂

Rachel + Scott’s gorgeous wedding day was everything we wanted to see for this beautiful laid-back couple. With bright, partly-sunny skies above their chuppah, they said their vows before their family and closest friends. We couldn’t be happier for these two as they began their lives together in such a historic and scenic location.

Rachel + Stefan’s wedding couldn’t have happened on a more beautiful day. With the brilliant spring greens budding on the trees, flowers starting to bloom, clear blue skies, and the vintage decor of the stunning mansion at Round Hill House serving as their backdrop, the scene was set. Rachel was more radiant than ever as the two shared their vows and then enjoyed the rest of their celebration with their invited friends.

Courtney + Chris’ wedding day was everything they wanted and more. Courtney’s beauty and joy was a perfect match for the stunning views of the Hudson River from the grand portico of the mansion at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. With the Sun setting behind the clouds and gentle showers falling on the other side of the river, there were smiles, hugs, and dancing on this side in celebration of the overjoyed couple.

    It's just as exciting to get this note and story from you about your first look at the sneak peak!! Thank you so much! We had such a blast with you and Chris, and the day could not have been more beautiful. You're every bit the lovely bride we knew you would be! I know you're going to really enjoy the rest of the gallery now that it's gone live. Thanks again for such a beautiful note! And WELCOME BACK from Bora Bora! 🙂May 19, 2014 – 2:15 PM

  • Courtney - It was such a treat to see a sneak peak of the photos during our honeymoon. I was in the hotel lobby when we received the link and couldn’t contain my excitement…I think I may startled some of the other guests with my bursts of excitement:) They are truly gorgeous pictures and I’m so impressed. I cannot wait to see the rest!May 19, 2014 – 2:11 PM

  • Jessica - Beautiful work, Jenni and Ulysses. And oh, my, how I LOVE that first photo! Even though you can’t see her entire expression, you just know that she is looking in the mirror and thinking, “I’m a bride . . . ” It seems to be this private, quiet moment that you managed to capture on film. Gorgeous.May 13, 2014 – 7:26 AM

Jen + Ben originally started getting to know us through our featured work on the premiere bridal portal at Style Me Pretty. So it delights us to see the beauty of their very own romantic wedding story highlighted there.  It doesn’t stop with this page only; make sure to feast your eyes on the complete gallery of gorgeous Editor’s Favorites, too! You’re also invited to leave comment or any questions you might have for this delightful couple. They and the editors would love to hear from you!

Jeanne Marie + Peter’s love story first began at an event held at the historic Sleepy Hollow Country Club, so you can imagine our enthusiasm over continuing their next chapter with photography at the same special venue. The location, the light, and a beautiful couple in love provided the perfect recipe for their “extended engagement session,” complete with wardrobe changes as well as transitions to different locations, and ending just as we’d planned with an incredible sunset over the Hudson River. We cannot wait to join this amazing duo for their autumn wedding at The Garrison.

All the elements we love came together for Teryn + Greg’s engagement photos — a beautiful couple who came prepared to rock their photos with an umbrella for the rain, dozens of colorful balloons, an excited and joyful outlook on the day, and complete trust in us. They really knocked their session out of the park! We’re overwhelmed by how much they love the results (we’re just as bowled over by her famously delicious fudge brownies that she baked and brought from her pastry kitchen, Baked by Teryn)! We can’t wait to join them again for their wedding at Crabtree’s Kittle House soon.

When two people are as intimately connected and as romantically in love with one another the way Marsha + Michael are, it gets noticed. The publishers of Westchester & Hudson Valley Magazine couldn’t help but fall head over heels for this beautiful couple, just like we did. Their lovebird-themed wedding was perfectly suited to a day filled with cheer, happy decor, and warm affection between friends. Their gorgeous cake above is just a teaser – be sure  to check out their photos and article! (or download the PDF)

One of the most fun things we did recently was to visit with Hope and her family so we could produce a set of fun, multifaceted images for her portfolio. Hope is a delightful young actress who already has years of acting experience to her name. We can’t wait to see the bright future ahead of her in film, commercials, and other media!  🙂

  • Ulysses - She really is, Bea. We DEFINITELY agree! 😉
    Thank you so much for calling on us to do these. Hope is an awesome young lady, and we had a really great time with her. 🙂April 15, 2014 – 4:19 PM

  • Bea Erlwein - Wow, Just amazing!April 15, 2014 – 4:15 PM

Steph + Phil’s wedding day completely blew us away both literally and figuratively! What started out as a very windy day in the Hudson Valley region merely set the scene for some of our most enjoyable photos of the Spring season.  From the time they each opened their particularly personalized gifts to one another until their private first look prior to their ceremony and into their celebration party that evening, Steph + Phil were nothing less than totally engaged and connected with one another. That’s the kind of couple that truly blows us away and results in our favorite sorts of images.

  • Lauren - AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! 🙂April 9, 2014 – 6:37 PM

Spring has finally sprung! So what could be more fun than to go out for a springtime engagement session with a couple in love? Watching Rachel + Stefan walk together with a brightly colorful assortment of balloons in hand lent even more Springtime cheer to their photos. Since Stefan proposed in a hot air balloon, the balloons were the perfect symbol of their love.

Their spring wedding day at FEAST at Round Hill is going to be beautiful!

What a winter it’s been for the Northeast! That didn’t stop us from enjoying it to the full with Rachel + Scott. Their mutual love for nature and the Hudson Valley region gave us the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the deep snowfields for the engagement photos. Along the way, we found beautiful light and opportunities for them to enjoy some warmth and romance together. Their wedding at The Rhinecliff promises to be one of the happiest affairs of the year, and we can’t wait to join them!

Kind and appreciative words from a happy bride make any of our days that much better. Hearing from a groom happens a little less often and, therefore, brightens our day beyond measure! Ben shared some beautiful thoughts and insights reminding us of how much we enjoyed photographing their wedding:

Ulysses and Jenni were everything we wanted in photographers. They were professional, organized, responsive, kind, and talented.

We took advantage of the engagement shoot that is included in the package. This was an excellent opportunity to get to know Ulysses and Jenni and get comfortable having our pictures taken. They were very good at being unobtrusive so we could get some natural looking shots. We ended up with a great mix of “candid” and posed shots and purchased the slide show (which we ran on a loop at the guestbook table at the wedding) and several printed photos.

In the days leading up to our wedding, we had an in-depth discussion with the photographers about the schedule for the day. Ulysses and Jenni were careful to note particular groups of people we wanted photos with so they could make sure to get them at the wedding. The photos turned out beautifully. We chose the pictures for and purchased a bound album and received helpful feedback from Jenni about the mix we had chosen. The bound album is very high quality. The digital negatives are also included in the package, so you can print your own photos later if you choose. The packages vary in price, and there are many optional extras, so you can get exactly what you want. We would strongly recommend Ulysses Photography to anyone in need of a photographer.

Michelle + Mark are a very special couple to us because of how deeply they love one another. The way they cherish their photos reflects the same. This is just one of the qualities the editors of Style Me Pretty noticed about them. We hope you enjoy their beautiful photos and their inspiring wedding story just as much as we do — don’t miss out on the complete gallery of SMP favorites! As always, the editors and the bride would love to hear from you, so please leave a comment or questions for them.

Two of our very favorite people, Kat + Ryan have been amazing to spend time with and to photograph. We genuinely hope to see them again in the future. In the meantime, we’re absolutely thrilled to read their kind words about their experience with us:

Ulysses and Jenni’s photos of another couple’s wedding made us fall in love with our venue before we had even seen it with our own eyes.  We therefore knew they were the photographers we wanted to capture our day.  Each interaction with them increased our excitement as they are very responsive, obviously very organized and incredibly helpful.  We were anxious before our engagement photos as we were worried about our ability to act natural and not get overwhelmed.  Within minutes of meeting Ulysses and Jenni in person, they had us laughing, which cut our tension.  They had spent the time before we met, scoping out our neighborhood and had selected a bunch of interesting backgrounds that worked with the available sunlight for every picture.  Based on their personalities and the way they drew us out of our nerves, we knew we had made the perfect choice, before we even saw the truly amazing engagement photos. 

Ulysses and Jenni always made us feel like the most important couple, which is no small feat given their packed schedule.  At the wedding, they were encouraging and helpful at the right times and seemingly invisible at other times, even though I know they were there based on the photos of some of the most real moments.  The true emotion of the day is palpable in their photos and looking at them brings me right back.  They were in all the right places at the right time, capturing amazing moments that we would have missed without them.  I can’t say enough about what talented photographers they are, but what makes working with them even better is what awesome people they are.  We plan to keep in touch and hopefully work with them again in the future.  Work with Ulysses and Jenni!!

We can’t express how much we’ve enjoyed photographing Jen + Ben throughout the past year. It warms our hearts when we read the kind words of appreciation she recently left at WeddingWire.com:

Ulysses and Jenni of Ulysses Photography are amazing! Finding the right photographer was so important to us; your photos last well beyond your wedding day and you want to be able to look back at them and relive the most wonderful day of your life. We could not be more thrilled with the result! Ulysses and Jenni were there every step of the way during the planning process and even helped keep us on track on the wedding day. They have the incredible talent of making two people (who do not love being in front of a camera) feel completely at ease. We had an engagement session with them that we were quite nervous about, and much to our surprise, we did not want it to end! This was an indication to us as to how talented they are. We were blown away when we saw our wedding photos, and then it got even better when we received our album. The album is beyond what we ever expected and is such a treasured book of memories of the most incredible day. We could not recommend Ulysses and Jenni more!

We’re overjoyed to see the editors of Style Me Pretty publish the photos and story of Kat & Ryan’s wedding. We were so moved by our day with this beautifully genuine pair, and we’re delighted that Style Me Pretty sees the same elegance and emotion in their photos. Don’t forget to check out the complete gallery of their favorite photos. There’s lots of inspiration to be found, so please leave a comment or any questions you might have for the ecstatic couple!

Few things make us happier than to hear again from an ecstatic bride and groom who’ve been blown away by their photos. Cathy + Tim share their positive experience with us with the very kind words below:

I am so grateful we found Ulysses and Jenni. They did gorgeous engagement and wedding photos for us. The pictures were beautiful- they captured the love and happiness we felt that day with such a beautiful and unique touch. They were incredibly easy to work with both before and on our big day, taking away all the worry and stress. We knew the memories we wanted would be captured. They were helpful even months before our big day when our original venue closed and we scrambled to move everything to a new day and venue. Jenni was such a HUGE help (especially for a bride living in New Mexico trying to plan long distance!). The bottom line is that Ulysses and Jenni will be easy to work with, take beautiful photos, and be worth every penny!
