We couldn’t have asked for a better day than the one we shared with Kelly and David. It threatened to thunderstorm (and in fact poured in their own area). But by the time we arrived to meet them at a beautiful paradise-like park chosen by Kelly, the sun was out, and we had our pick of places to photograph with them. Kelly was gorgeous, having had hair and makeup done especially for this session. And David wasn’t doing too bad either. Both were truly excited about their photo session, as were we. 🙂
Our first spot to shoot was at the site of a 300-year-old tree that had fallen to the ground a year ago. Kelly discovered it during one of her walks through the woods. It made a perfect platform for them to sit and snuggle, its textures creating a perfect juxtaposition for the real focus of the photo – their affection for one another. After warming up at that spot, we wandered the park and simply had fun in flower beds, fields, and anywhere else that seemed to invite us. We can’t wait to show them their beautiful gallery of photos. We get just as excited as the couple to see the results from sessions as enjoyable as these. 🙂
The gallery will be available very soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. We’d love to hear about your favorites if you’d like to comment on them. 🙂

Jenni - Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for writing! We hope you and all your guests enjoy your Guest Book. You made some wonderful choices for the book, so in combination with Ulysses’ artwork, we’re thrilled to hear that you can call it magnificant. 🙂
For your large infrared photo, I vote for a white mat and black frame (with no glass).
The wedding day will be here before you know it … just a couple of months!! We’ll see you soon.June 20, 2007 – 11:42 PM
Kelly - We just got our guest book with our e-pics today! Realizing that this is a public blog I will merely say, HOLY COW! It looked so wonderful. Magnificent, extraordinary, and spiffy even! Better than either Dave and I expected, and we expected really good things! We also got a large infrared B&W for our wall which looks unbelievable. Now the big question, do we use a black matte with it or a white?
Can’t wait to see you two at the wedding!June 20, 2007 – 9:59 PM
Ulysses - Linda, it was a real pleasure photographing them. The location was just beautiful, and Kelly & David were so at ease with one another, making it a privilege to get this sort of intimate insight into their relationship. The wedding day is going to be even more exciting and equally as much fun. 🙂
Thanks so much for the kind words. Jenni and I look forward to meeting you.

Linda Oggenfuss - We are Kelly’s parents. Your wonderful talent shows through. You were able to capture Kelly and Dave’s love for each other on film. What a treasure.
Thank you. We are looking forward to meeting you at the wedding and to seeing more of your great work.
