Hello everyone, this is Liesl! Although I have been very busy since Neil left for Arizona this morning, today I received NO phone calls on our main line. And I realized very early this morning that I would not receive any, because we have no dial tone!

That is correct. Modern high tech world though it may be, our phone cannot cope with the demands. Frontier will hopefully have this cleared up by noon tomorrow. If you need to contact us please try our cell phones or email. And in the meantime, we have not fallen off the face of the earth. But I am enjoying the peace while anxiously awaiting the restoration of service!

Take a look at the last blog post (adirondack wedding) and you’ll see I used mostly images from Liesl to describe the day. Everyone has been asking about it since we put up Liesl’s packages, so I figured I’ll take a minute to explain things.

As we’ve shot over 40 weddings this year - Liesl’s been missing our kids terribly over this summer’s busy seasons, and as much as we love our clients - our kids are only kids once. So Liesl will only be shooting 20 weddings next year, total, no more, nada. If you’re interested in having her sensitive talents on your big day, you better jump fast because 20 dates are gong to go QUICK  She’s really such a great mom, that we can’t justify her working to capture memories instead of creating memories for our kids! Liesl also will not be traveling to weddings, as I will use local or our usual assistants.

I’m sorry if I’m now hazy on who’s grandfather this was but and image from Jake and Tini’s wedding of a child hugging her (I believe great-grandfather) recieved a 3rd place award from the WPJA.

Liesl, Brady and Luke put together a social for some upstate photographers. Seems as though everyone had a good time. Frank DiMeo was the only guy who took pictures:



And then there’s Liesl:

And he had to epoxy my shoes to the floor to get these shots:


oops, here’s Liesl again…

Lets give a roll call of who was there:
Liesl Cowley, Brady Dillsworth, and Luke organized it. Frank, Shai and Robert came up from Ithica. Mary, Steve & Julie, Rebecca, and the Krakles came from Rochester. Brody came from the west and Matt came from the east. Good to see everyone!

Would a few of you past wedding clients be willing to review my site on Alexa? Click this link and then look down on the page a little. Alexa is a search engine developed by Amazon, and it integrates the features of Amazon and Google for interesting results. Some of the search features used on A9 (alexa’s search page) are really helpful and I’ve started using A9 more than google. For instance if you search for NY Wedding Photojournalist on A9, you can see results with images and links on the same page. I’m currently the #1 position for “NY Wedding Photojournalist on Google, but you don’t get to see my pictures on the same page.
