Today’s engagement session with Lela and Chris rounded out our triple-header of shooting over the weekend. And we truly felt we hit a home run with this wonderful couple. They drove quite a ways to meet us for the session, and as soon as we’d gotten out of the car, they were each there to […]

Since Penny and Bob had planned their ceremony to be held on the top deck of the yacht, Romantica, with a scenic cruise around Manhattan with their family and closest friends, we were hoping for a lovely day. With cloudless blue skies above our heads, we couldn’t have asked for better. We met Penny that […]
Evelyn + Michael are the sweetest couple you could ever meet. Even though they’ve been extremely busy with school and work, they’ve been working hard to get ready for what promises to be a beautiful September wedding. To show just how much they value pictures, they took the time to come all the way from […]
With their wedding only a little over a month away, we were anxious to join Melissa and Ethan for their engagement session. When we were talking with them about what they wanted to see in their portraits, Melissa made it clear that she wanted to stay close to Ethan. As regular readers of our blog […]
When we met up with Lynn and Bryan for their engagement photo session, I know we were all in a great mood. How could we not be happy, with clear blue skies and near-perfect conditions for their informal and relaxed shoot (BTW, the first azaleas of the year are starting to bloom — it’s going […]
Stephanie and Brian are definitely our kind of couple!! We’ve enjoyed them for months, ever since their engagement session with us in the autumn of 2005. The wedding day was bright and sunny, and their party of some 19 others contributed toward a lively and completely enjoyable day. What a fantastic group, each and every […]
Amy and Dave met us at a park that we’d never been to before. Although we don’t have much greenery yet in our area of NY, we were ecstatic that we had clear blue skies and warm temperatures. But it’s not as if Amy and Dave needed the more cooperative weather to put them in […]
Jenni and I love taking pictures. Whenever we meet with clients, we always talk about how the shooting is only one part of the creative process. Images captured in camera, whether film or digital, still need to be “finished”. This is the case with our own photos, as well. While our focus is upon the […]
We love the Boston area. We have family there and always enjoy visiting. This time, we were there to spend some time with two beautiful people, Jaime and Brett, whose wedding we’ll be shooting in a few months. They are a wonderful couple. Jaime was simply radiant, her bright blue eyes flashing and her smile […]
No doubt you’ve heard the following story: Girl meets boy… boy makes girl laugh… they fall in love… they marry for love. And they live…? Well, if you know the story, then you also know the ending. The amazing truth is this is precisely Jamee and Jeff’s story. She loves the way he makes her […]
Mary Ann and Benjeil share an abiding love for one another and for people. I think that’s the quality that drew us to them, and which also set the tone for our engagement session with them. Mary Ann’s bright and infectious smile and Benjeil’s quiet intensity provided us with ample opportunity to create some beautiful […]
The three Beam Kids are a wonderful set of siblings who love life and who enjoy spending time with people. In fact, we felt as if they were family. Today they were the subjects for our cameras and lenses. They put up with a lot, too, with the breezy and cool weather. But since there […]
A referral from a previous bride brought us together with Sonyalis and Jim, who are expecting their second baby to arrive any day now! We had a wonderful time at their home. The living room was warm and comfortable, and the large windows allowed a lot of sunlight to poor in. They and their 3-1/2 […]
What happens when the photographers and the clients meet for the first time… on the day of their engagement session? Something INCREDIBLE, that’s what!!! 🙂 Though we had lots of correspondence with Brian and even had a small snapshot sent to us so we’d recognize them, we were intensely curious to find out what they’d […]
“I love you…” We could tell that those three little words mean so much to Roseanne and Jeff. They were heard using them often during our photo shoot with them. And what better way to feel when you’re holding on so tightly to the one you love! When we’d taken a half-dozen shots, Roseanne thought […]
New York is expecting a blizzard this evening, so you might expect we’d hunker down for the day and prepare for the coming Nor’easter. Nope! So what did we do? We went to meet Penny and Bob for their engagement photo session. We had such an enjoyable time with them, too. With her gorgeous waves […]
Spring, summer, fall… and WINTER. Love knows all seasons, and the winter time is certainly no exception for Leslie and Felipe. When we met at our planned location, we were very happy to see this quiet and dignified couple. Leslie looked fantastic — hair, makeup and clothing all came together for a beautiful session. And […]
Jenneen and Gregory do everything in a big way. Their wedding was absolutely no exception. In one evening, they somehow managed to roll celebration after celebration into one gala event that their family and friends will never forget. We first spent time with Jenneen for last-minute preparation at her home, where Jenneen showed us the […]
Sheila and Roy had planned their wedding as a Grand event (with a capital ‘G’). From beginning of the day to its end, it turned out exactly as planned. When we arrived at her apartment, Sheila was excited to see us and introduced us to everyone there. Being the cool and collected person that she […]
Here’s a picture that Jenni took of me while on a recent photo shoot. My cheesy smile while working probably says it all (just click on the picture to see the smile even larger!). All of our couples who meet us can tell instantly that we absolutely love what we do. There’s no question about […]
