Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel - Venue Highlight

This next venue highlight goes out to the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel.  I love working at this location.  The service is awesome!  And now that they added the rooftop garden ceremony space, it's even better than before. There are many locations throughout the hotel for photos, like the bridal suite, rooftop garden, lobby, bar, and the outside patio.  Their team of professionals really make your day go off without a hitch.  That's why I choose The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel as one of my recommended venues in the Hudson Valley.

Diamond Mills Hotel and Tavern - Venue Highlight

This venue highlight goes out to Diamond Mills Hotel & Tavern.  A beautiful venue both inside and out. It overlooks the Esopus creek with an amazing waterfall that adds that extra special touch.  From the majestic staircase in the lobby to the balcony overlooking the creek, every inch of the venue works as a great photo opportunity. Who ever designed Diamond Mills definitely had photos in mind. The icing on the cake is the staircase down to the creek, with the falls and the a rustic bridge in Saugerties, in the background.

I've had the privilege of photographing many weddings at Diamond Mills and each wedding has been amazing.  Below are a collection of photos to showcase a  wedding venue we highly recommend - Diamond Mills Hotel & Tavern.

Meet our Wedding Couples for 2018

2018 has been a wonderful year for weddings.

This blog is dedicated to all of the couples we had the opportunity to work with.  Each one was special in their own way, and we thank them for allowing us to be their wedding photographer.  There were many photographers throughout the Hudson Valley they could have chosen, but they chose us, and we consider that an honor.

We tell stories through images, and keep the memories alive through albums and prints.  That's why I love photographing weddings, and why I keep doing it over and over again.

So come and meet our wedding couples for this past year,  and let us celebrate their weddings together.
