Home base. Every Couple Welcome.

I've been photographing weddings in Rhinebeck for fifteen years — and I live here. I know these roads, these venues, this light. I know what the Beekman Arms looks like at golden hour and how the Ankony Carriage House feels when the doors open and everyone goes quiet.

That familiarity shows up in the photographs.

Rhinebeck is two hours north of Manhattan and feels like another world — in the best possible way. Private estates, historic barns, vineyard hillsides, converted carriage houses. The Hudson River is just down the road. A downtown that actually has good restaurants, your guests will talk about for years.

It's a place that photographs beautifully in every season. But more than the backdrop, it attracts couples who care about the details — who want a day that feels considered, unhurried, and entirely theirs.

Those are the couples I love working with most.

Venues I know well.

While Rhinebeck is known for its exclusive private estate weddings, several exceptional dedicated venues offer couples access to the area's distinctive charm:

Milea Estate Vineyard combines breathtaking valley views with sophisticated wine country elegance. This working vineyard provides a stunning setting where couples can exchange vows among the vines before celebrating in the estate's modern event spaces, all while enjoying the vineyard's award-winning wines.

The Beekman Arms, America's oldest continuously operating inn (established 1766), offers couples a uniquely historic setting with colonial-era charm. This landmark venue blends timeless elegance with modern amenities, providing an authentic taste of Rhinebeck's storied past while accommodating contemporary wedding needs.

Ankony Carriage House delivers rustic sophistication in a beautifully restored 19th-century carriage house. The venue's exposed beams, original stonework, and surrounding gardens create a romantic atmosphere that perfectly captures Rhinebeck's blend of historic character and refined elegance.

Mirbeau Inn & Spa presents a French-inspired retreat where couples can enjoy luxury accommodations alongside exceptional event spaces. This sophisticated venue allows wedding parties to combine celebration with relaxation, offering world-class spa services and impeccable hospitality.
