WE WONDERED IF THE WEDDING HAD ALL BEEN A BEAUTIFUL DREAM

But then we saw your photos and were reminded that it was indeed real and more magical than we could have possibly imagined! What an amazing gift you have given us. I only regret that it will take so long for us to decide what should go in the album - you've given us so many amazing moments to choose from! Thank you for all of them.

New York Wedding Photographer

We photograph fun modern weddings throughout the entire New York region which includes New York City metro, the Hudson Valley, Westchester, the Capital region and New England.

Because many or our clients are based in New York City, they travel to the Hudson Valley for a gorgeous rustic vintage style wedding in one of the many beautiful barn venues or old mansions along the historic Hudson River trail.

We are documentary storytellers with a creative twist because we believe story and the emotions of any wedding day are the most important part of wedding photography. You can't have beautiful without showing the real.

Our clients love emotionally authentic images. They are lovers and dreamers. Their weddings are unique, branded to them, and are statements in style.

Diane Stredicke has been the owner and primary photographer at Hudson River Photographer for 9 years. With a background in graphic design, screenwriting and filmmaking, Diane's style is creative and modern, as well as moment driven. Diane's documentary vision is her strongest skill set in photographing your wedding day.

Diane lives in Rhinebeck, New York where she has a photography studio located on Montgomery Street. While many of the weddings Diane photographs are in the greater Hudson Valley and Catskill area, Diane does photograph weddings in Manhattan, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn.

We specialize in LGTBQ weddings. We were among the first wedding photographers in the area to actively promote and support marriage equality. Many of our gay weddings were featured in the award winning book The Art of Capturing Love. We are an LGTBQ owned business.
