New York Wedding Photographer based in Rhinebeck

Documentary Wedding Photography Across New York

Planning a wedding in New York offers an incredible range of possibilities—from the energy of New York City to the open landscapes of the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Capital Region.

I’m based in the Hudson Valley, working with couples who are drawn to weddings that feel intentional, immersive, and deeply personal. My approach blends documentary observation with an editorial sensibility, resulting in images that feel natural, atmospheric, and enduring.

I photograph weddings throughout New York State, with a focus on capturing not just how your day looks, but how it feels to be there.

Hudson Valley Weddings

The Hudson Valley has become one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in New York, especially for couples based in the city.

With its historic estates, restored industrial spaces, and expansive landscapes, the region offers a setting that feels both elevated and relaxed. I photograph weddings throughout the Hudson Valley and bring a deep familiarity with the light, seasons, and pace of celebrations here.

Many of my clients are planning full wedding weekends—creating space for connection, time outdoors, and a more meaningful experience with their guests.

Catskills & Upstate New York Weddings

Beyond the Hudson Valley, I also photograph weddings in the Catskills and across upstate New York.

These locations often lend themselves to quieter, more nature-driven celebrations—whether it’s a gathering in the mountains or a weekend retreat with close friends and family.

My approach adapts to these environments, focusing on the atmosphere, landscape, and the rhythm of the day as it unfolds.

Capital Region Weddings (Albany, Saratoga Springs & Hudson)

The Capital Region—including Albany, Saratoga Springs, and Hudson—offers a blend of historic architecture, cultural venues, and countryside settings.

Weddings in this area often strike a balance between accessibility and escape, making them especially appealing for couples hosting guests from both New York City and upstate.

I photograph weddings throughout the Capital Region with the same documentary approach—paying attention to the setting, the people, and the subtle moments that shape the day.

New York City Weddings

While much of my work takes place outside the city, I also photograph weddings in New York City.

City weddings tend to be more condensed and fast-paced, with a distinct energy that shapes the day. If you're planning a wedding in NYC, you can learn more on my New York City Wedding Photographer page.

A Documentary & Editorial Approach

My work is rooted in observation.

Rather than directing every moment, I focus on what’s already happening—capturing subtle interactions, movement, and emotion as they naturally unfold. This approach allows your wedding to feel like your own, rather than something staged for the camera.

At the same time, I bring a refined editorial eye to portraits and key moments, offering guidance when needed so you feel at ease without losing a sense of authenticity.

Inclusive & Intentional Weddings

I photograph weddings for couples of all identities and backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ couples.

Creating an environment where people feel comfortable being fully themselves is central to how I work. The result is imagery that feels honest, connected, and reflective of who you are.

Working With NYC-Based Couples

A large portion of my clients live in New York City and choose to marry elsewhere in the state.

Because of this, I understand both perspectives—the expectations and aesthetics of city weddings, and the logistics of planning a destination-style celebration in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, or Capital Region.

I work closely with couples to create a photography experience that feels seamless, calm, and aligned with the overall tone of the weekend.
