We’re so glad Jackie + Don made the trip from their home down south to meet us in NY for their engagement photos. Even though we’d been corresponding by email and messages, nothing takes the place of real face-to-face time to strengthen the relationship we feel is so important between us and our couples. Their session was a beautiful one, too, with lots of refreshing farm greenery surrounding them, and a family of Standard Poodles to keep them smiling. We’re even more eager now for the next time we join them at The Rhinecliff Hotel!

Sarah + Gerardo’s engagement photos started out as a family photo session. We loved it! It gave us the perfect opportunity to get to know them better through both sets of parents, which was just perfect. And then we got to photograph them with the rest of their family — four of the most curious, fun-loving, but gentle dogs you’ll ever have the chance to meet, including three pitbulls and one shepherd mix. We knew immediately when they allowed us to be part of the their pack, too. The rest was just a romping good time in their large field of green grass. We had a truly amazing time with this affectionate couple, and we can’t wait to enjoy their wedding day at The Garrison.

When you bring more than 150 of Westchester County’s best restaurants, pastry chefs, spas, car dealers, bars, radio stations and MORE together in one location, what do you call that? Obviously, you call it the Best of Westchester Party! This landmark event for 2016 is now in the record books and Ulysses Photography was there once again as Westchester Magazine’s official photographer for the perfect Red Carpet welcome of everyone that flowed into the Glen Island Harbour Club. It’s no wonder we enjoy this event as much as everyone else. Invited guests poured in by foot and by shuttle. All of the vendors were ready with alluring aromas, delightful desserts, and tantalizing tastes to satisfy every appetite and curiosity. With plenty of food, drink, music and dancing on offer, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most eagerly anticipated annual events for Westchester residents, as well as others from the surrounding area! Congrats to Westchester Magazine and their staff for putting on yet another successful premium event!

Each time we join Sam and his family, we know we’re in for an incredibly energetic and enjoyable ride! Even though we keep in touch with this incredible family during the span of time we aren’t face-to-face, there are always meaningful and happy surprises as we get reacquainted with them again — especially with Sam, who is growing faster than any of us can keep up with. A walk through the remarkable scenery of a historic setting in the Catskills was the only other thing we needed for perfectly relaxed family portraits.

And into the ocean we went! Our favorite days are when we’re given complete creative license to do what we love; our favorite couples are people like Maryellen + Dave, who simply trust us completely while enjoying one another at the happiest time of their lives. Their two-day extravaganza was filled with the gorgeous sights and sounds of the ocean, beaches, and cliffs of Montauk, NY. It was like being on the most beautiful edge of the world as Maryellen + Dave smiled and spoke their vows in front of all their closest people. If we could have spent another day or two with our hosts, we certainly would have — it was like a big reunion for us because we’d photographed Maryellen’s brother’s wedding, and we’ll also photograph her sister’s upcoming wedding. It’s a huge plus when we’re surrounded by so many familiar friendly faces and to be included as one of the family.

There are few things more enjoyable than following some of our favorite people through various stages and joys of life. That’s what we got to do with Baby Maddie and her grandparents, Susy + Steve. Watching them walk, play, and laugh with her showed us just how much they’re enjoying life with their beautiful family. Grace + Mike’s adorable little girl, now nearly two years old, is getting smarter, faster, and more lovable than ever. So it was a perfect time to see family affection in action during our afternoon with this lovely family.

When we say that Rose + Mike are the perfect pairing of heart and mind, the words don’t do justice the depth of their relationship. Their reveal was just as fun and unique as their personalities. Their wedding day in the lush color-rich gardens of Feast Caterers at Round Hill House was an unforgettable experience for everyone there. Their choices in decor and attention to seemingly minor details ensured that everyone felt truly special as guests invited to this gala event. We can’t express enough how glad we are to be their photographers!

Jacqueline + Jae make it incredibly easy to get swept up in the moment. Between Jackie’s effervescent energy and Jae’s steady strength and positivity, we knew we had the ideal couple who would simply “escape” with us into their photography. This beautiful duo shares a lot of laughs, but they also aren’t afraid to be romantically in the moment together. This all bodes quite well for our upcoming day with them at Skylands Manor.

Weddings by their nature are often filled with traditions that date from many decades ago or even longer. But there was something particularly classic about Lauren + Nick’s wedding day, filled with the traditions and breathtaking scenery of West Point Academy along the Hudson River in New York. After a saber arch exit from the chapel, the ecstatic couple were whisked away to their reception at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, where guests took in the sights of a beyond-beautiful sunset over the Hudson and a party with live music that kept everyone on the dance floor! We’re thrilled and privileged to have been Lauren + Nick’s photographers to capture their day.

Each wedding we photograph gives us the opportunity to look for something unique and distinct about the couple standing in front our cameras. Caitlin + Matt are exactly that sort of couple, gracing us with their complete trust, and giving us so many perfect opportunities to see different sides to their personalities, the things they like, and the people they love. It was a spectacular wedding day at the always-lovely Onteora Mountain House, full of detail and emotion — in other words, the perfect day to photograph a wedding! We can’t wait to see what the future brings for this delightful pair.

There was much eager anticipation for Baby Olivia’s arrival that Melissa + Ari were beside themselves once she finally arrived. This cutie was well worth the wait for everyone, including ourselves. Getting to know her better was a complete delight. Olivia enjoys squeaking, smiling, and has such a remarkable talent for the most soul-satisfying stretches that it was difficult to stop laughing so we could continue the photography. She’s simply adorable, and we’re truly happy for her overjoyed parents.

There’s so much to love about Stephanie + Patrick’s wedding day. Stephanie’s artistically creative side and Patrick’s warm personal interest in people was evident in all the little touches seen throughout their day. Their choice of venue afforded the perfect opportunity for them to feel comfortable and at-home with all their family and friends. And the day gave us ample opportunity to show them off at their best and their most emotive. We’re unbelievably privileged to be their photographers and can’t wait to see what their future has in store for them!

Amy_e059If a couple invited their photographers to their working dairy & beef farm as the location for their engagement photos, most might say “no way.” But not us! We were so PUMPED about the creative and beautiful prospects, and our day with Amy + Doug did not disappoint! As we’d hoped, there were lots of unexpected surprises  — namely the lively and playful personalities of the animals on the farm. Keeping our couple close and showing off their affection was not at all a problem. But the young bulls and steers definitely wanted their own moment in front of the lens, and we simply couldn’t deny them that opportunity. Who knew livestock just want to be rockstar models?? We had an exciting time with this warm and enthusiastic couple, and we can’t wait for their wedding day at a beautiful private farm.

Although our photo session with Vicky + Tom was also our first face-to-face meeting with them, it quickly felt as if we’d known them for much longer. Their cool vibe belies just how down-to-earth and friendly they are. Putting their complete trust in us, we walked some of their favorite streets in NYC for a dynamic and incredibly enjoyable extended engagement session. We’re thrilled to know them and overjoyed at just how much they love their photos! Their wedding day is going to be an epic one at the Harvard Club of NYC.

We’ve known Tanya and her happy family for quite some time now, so we were over the moon when she and Rob asked us to be their photographers! The enthusiasm must have been completely mutual, because they booked a special trip from their home in North Carolina to meet with us in New York, get reacquainted, and shoot their engagement session photos. With Tanya’s avid love for crossfit and Rob’s shared interest in health & fitness, we knew Mohonk Mountain House with its rugged beauty would be the perfect place for their extended engagement session. Whether it was climbing the mountains, climbing trees, or just chilling together in a beautiful garden area, they were right there with us, simply enjoying their time together. We could have gone all day, but our photo session eventually came to an end with our wanting even more. We’re looking forward more than ever to their summer wedding at Bill Miller’s Castle.

Katy_w807Although Katy + Andrew’s exclusive wedding was held at the site of their own home — a breathtakingly scenic estate held by five generations of farmers, with broad green pastures for cattle and sheep — their wedding day was also full of polished elegance, overwhelming joy, and colorful fireworks. We don’t mean the latter in a figurative way. The spectacular day ended with a storm of colorful fireworks that lit up the happy faces of everyone in attendance. It was truly a day to remember, and we couldn’t be happier than to be there to capture it all for this beautiful couple.

Julia_w212One of our recent brides is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her wedding day with Josh was definitely a highlight of our Spring season. With her experience in the fashion industry, she’s seen and worked with a number of photographers. We couldn’t be more thrilled that they chose us for their own wedding photography! It warms our hearts to read her kind words about Ulysses Photography, so we had to share them here:

Let me just start by saying that my family wants to adopt Ulysses and Jenni. They are the coolest, sweetest, and most professional photographers I’ve ever met. Plus, they deliver the most gorgeous photos! My husband and I first met this dynamic duo at a friends’ wedding a few years ago. We noticed how on point they were, and they noticed how fun loving we were on the dance floor. Instant connection. As soon as it was our turn to ring the wedding bells, we reached out to Ulysses and Jenni immediately. Since then they have done everything in their power to make our wedding the most magical and easy day of our lives. From the engagement shoot to the cake cutting, they were prepared, professional, and most importantly, fun. The photography was literally the least of our worries during the whole wedding planning process. Thanks again, Ulysses and Jenni, for being a part of our day and for capturing its beauty perfectly!!

It goes without saying that we simply loved spending the day with Julia + Josh! They’re so right for one another that finding the connection between them and showing it in photos very quickly became second nature. We were touched by the trust and access they gave us so we could faithfully document their beautiful day.  Their guests were treated to an outstanding experience at the country elegance of Highlands Country Club, with fine food, motivating music, and an atmosphere of friendship and love. We can’t wait to see what the days ahead have in store for this awesome couple, and we genuinely hope to see them again as their family grows!

It’s probably safe to say that Allison + Ross are a couple of ballers. No, let’s correct that — they’re both BOWLERS, as in their love for 10-pin bowling, bowling alleys, bowling lanes, and all things related to the sport. It’s one of the many things they share in common, so we had fun bringing that unique element into their engagement photos. As photographers, there’s no better feeling than knowing how happy our couples are with our work. There was no doubt about this with Allison + Ross (and their families). Seeing how completely blown away they were with their own photos taken at the historic Mohonk Mountain House resort confirmed for us just how happy we are to be their photographers! We’re highly anticipating spending the day with them for their 2017 wedding at the elegant Falkirk Estate & Country Club.
