One of the best wedding photographers in the Hudson Valley, Diane Stredicke of Rhinebeck, NY.

You’ll spend most of your wedding day with me — from the quiet of getting ready to the last songs of the night.

So it matters who that person is.

You want someone steady. Kind. Experienced enough to anticipate what’s coming, and calm enough to handle whatever isn’t.

I’m a Hudson Valley–based wedding photographer, working with couples across New York for over a decade. I’m drawn to the real and the unexpected — the in-between moments, the deep breaths, the laughter that interrupts everything.

That’s where the photographs live. Timeless images that hold your love in the middle of this busy, beautiful world.

Hey there -
I’m Diane.

More about Me

Over 350 wedding days documented.
Fifteen years capturing what’s real.
