What to look for in a Hudson Valley New York wedding photographer:

  • Inclusive and Welcoming: A photographer who celebrates all love stories and ensures everyone feels seen and respected.

  • Non-Judgmental: Someone who doesn’t make assumptions about you, your partner, or your unique wedding day.

  • Modern and Adaptable: A professional who avoids outdated ideas and embraces contemporary wedding photography that matches your vision.

  • A Good Listener: Someone who takes the time to understand your needs, preferences, and dreams for your big day.

  • A Great Documentary Eye: Someone who captures the story of your wedding as it naturally unfolds, preserving real, authentic moments.

  • Focused on What Matters Most: A photographer who believes the moments, emotions, and connections are the most important parts of your wedding day.

We have been there photographing luxury weekend events to DYI barn weddings for over 15 years.  What each of our couples has in common is a love of good photography and an understanding that your wedding day photographs are priceless.
