CAPTURING THE DAY

Wedding Photography

date posted: March 28, 2021

Make sure a lot of images will be captured—you can always edit, but, of course, you can’t re-shoot.

Like most wedding vendors in 2021, photographers are striving to play catch-up and balance postponements with new work. They’re also mastering the art of working with smaller, more intimate ceremonies and snapping gorgeous shots with socially distanced zoom lenses.

Talk to your photographer about style choices and your vision for the day to ensure that the images they capture will be cherished by you and your kin through the ages. Are you looking for candid, documentary photos or slightly more staged “lifestyle” shots? Do you want to get a little crazy with artistic images, tell the story of the day with editorial sequences, or stick to the time-honored classic groupings? A mix?

Think of the possibilities—historic mansions with formal gardens, riverside parks with mountain backdrops, waterfalls, Catskills high peaks....

Hudson Valley photographers know where all the scenery is; if you’re thinking outdoor micro-mini or elopement, consider asking your photographer for suggestions about spots where the two of you, your officiant, and a couple of friends could take a hike, tie the knot, and create incredible images together.

Think of the possibilities—historic mansions with formal gardens, riverside parks with mountain backdrops, waterfalls, Catskills high peaks.... Bring a fancy picnic from a favorite caterer and you’re set.
