We’re Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding photographers who specialize in intimate celebrations filled with connection and emotion. Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

“We couldn’t have been happier with the quality of Megan and Kenneth’s work. From the engagement shoot through the wedding, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They’re great at taking direction if you have requests but are also assertive and creative in setting up poses and backdrops. Having two photographers resulted in TONS of shots and adequate getting ready time with both bride and groom. They’re also the nicest people and delivered the photos promptly. Our friends and family were floored by how beautiful our photos are. Definitely recommend!”

“Rich was an incredible photographer! From the very beginning, he was organized, responsive, and on top of every detail leading up to our wedding day. He created a comprehensive timeline of the day and provided thoughtful professional guidance whenever we needed it, which made the entire day feel so much less stressful. On the wedding day, he captured every moment beautifully—even with some very windy conditions! We are so happy with our photos and are so grateful to have these memories to look back on for years to come. Rich was in the middle of the dance floor to capture all the fun and energy of the reception. He truly didn't miss a moment! We also loved receiving our sneak peek so quickly—it kept all the excitement going the very next day. We highly recommend everyone hire Rich!”

“Our wedding weekend at Black Walnut Farm was nothing short of extraordinary. I had always dreamed of more than just a single day or a few hours of celebration. I imagined a full weekend surrounded by our favorite people, celebrating a love I had hoped for my entire life. Black Walnut Farm made that dream a reality in the most magical way. My fiancé and I got engaged in June 2024 and waited until August to begin planning so we could savor being engaged. Black Walnut Farm was our first venue visit. During their open house, we explored the property while enjoying signature cocktails and bites, and we immediately felt at home meeting Jim. His warmth, charisma, and genuine spirit set the tone for everything that followed. The estate is breathtaking. Acres of beauty, an enchanting forest, whimsical gardens, and a farmhouse filled with stunning, eclectic antiques. Within minutes, we knew our search was over. As we left, Jim smiled, saying he could tell we had found “the one.” The planning process was seamless and stress-free. As someone who goes with the flow, I was amazed by how organized and supportive the team was. Timelines, documents, and communication were clear and thoughtful. Sarah, co-owner and Jim’s partner, made the experience effortless. While the venue is largely a la carte, Sarah provides a curated list of trusted vendors so you never feel lost. Together, Sarah and Jim are an unmatched team. We chose the weekend package, allowing us and six guests to stay in the farmhouse from Thursday through Monday. Walking in felt like stepping into a dream. We were greeted with a handwritten card, a charcuterie board, and champagne. Fresh banana bread, muffins, and cookies were displayed, the refrigerator stocked with snacks, drinks, and s’mores essentials, and a bar cart held homemade old fashioneds. Every room included robes and fresh water by the bedside, and fireplaces were ready with stacked firewood. Our honeymoon suite was spacious and cozy, with its own fireplace, sitting area, and clawfoot tub. Black Walnut Farm even created a custom flag with our names and named a tree in our honor, a meaningful and unforgettable touch. On Friday evening, we hosted our rehearsal dinner for fifty-five guests in the barn, which perfectly blends rustic elegance with antique details and warmth. The staff’s pride and attention to detail were evident, and Jim, Sarah, or Lindsey were always nearby to ensure everything ran smoothly. After dinner, my bridesmaids and I returned to the farmhouse for a cozy night by the fire watching Father of the Bride. Our wedding day was pure magic. We got ready together in a sun-filled room, sharing laughter and happy tears. We exchanged vows in the forest, a fairytale setting. The celebration continued in the barn with cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, and dessert. Guests loved the barn loft, complete with a photo booth and a phone for leaving messages. Although the weather prevented our planned bonfire hour, Sarah and Jim graciously extended our time in the barn, ensuring the night remained just as special. This weekend was the best experience of our lives. Our friends and family still talk about how incredible it was. We are endlessly grateful to Sarah, Jim, Miss Lily, and the entire Black Walnut Farm team for creating a wedding weekend we will cherish forever.”

“Eddie & Dave were awesome! They were our DJ and emcee for our wedding ceremony and reception on August 31. Eddie was easy to communicate with, and was there for us through the whole experience from beginning to end. The second it was dance time, they got the crowd up and out onto the dance floor in a heartbeat, and most didn’t leave the dance floor until the night was over. DJ was good, knew what songs to play, when to play them, and played the ones I wanted. And the emcee was awesome, funny & easily able to get people involved in whatever!! We also rented a Photo Booth through DJ Double E and it was a HUGE hit!! They’re awesome and I would totally book them again!”

I’m Matthew, a documentary wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. I’ve photographed weddings for a decade, alongside a 15-year teaching career. The classroom shapes how I work: I meet every situation with empathy, plan carefully with you beforehand, and stay calm when the day gets busy. About 90% of my coverage is candid. I blend in and witness what unfolds, then step in with light direction for family photos and portraits. Couples tell me they forgot I was there, and my favorite compliment is that guests thought I was a family member with a camera. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Matthew Rigby! From our beautiful engagement photo session throughout Beacon and along the waterfront to our wedding day at St. Joachim Church and The Roundhouse, Matthew was absolutely incredible every step of the way! From the very beginning, Matthew made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. He is genuinely one of the kindest people and has such a warm, welcoming personality that makes being photographed feel so natural. Our engagement photo session was such a wonderful experience, and the photos were everything we could have hoped for and more! He made the entire experience so enjoyable and gave us such beautiful memories from such an exciting time in our lives. On our wedding day, Matthew went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only is he incredibly talented, professional, and organized, but he is also such a genuinely kind and down-to-earth person. He made everyone feel comfortable, from our wedding party to our families, and brought such a positive and calming presence throughout the entire day. He has the perfect ability to keep things relaxed and enjoyable while still making sure every important moment is captured. Having someone like Matthew by our side throughout such a special day made the entire experience that much more memorable. Matthew also brought along the Gerardo Soto to assist with photography on our wedding day, and we couldn't have been happier! Gerardo was equally wonderful to work with, and together they made such an incredible team. Both were so kind, professional, and attentive, making everyone feel comfortable while capturing all the special moments throughout the day. We are so grateful to have had both of them there to document our wedding! Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotions are truly unmatched. They captured everything from the big, unforgettable moments to the little candid interactions that we might have otherwise missed. What makes Matthew so special is that he doesn't just take beautiful pictures; he captures the feeling of the moment. Looking back at our photos allows us to relive all the love, happiness, and excitement of our wedding day. We are beyond grateful to have had Matthew photograph both our engagement session and wedding day. Not only do we have the most beautiful memories to cherish forever, but we also had the pleasure of working with people who made the entire experience so enjoyable. If you are looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, genuinely kind, and makes you feel like you've known him forever, Matthew Rigby is your person! We truly couldn't imagine having anyone else capture these special moments in our lives. We would recommend him a thousand times over! Thank you, Matthew and Gerardo, for everything! We will forever be grateful!”

Skylark Music

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Arden, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Justin was a pleasure to work with from the initial interview to the last song at our wedding. Justin played with a three piece band for our ceremony (guitar, piano, bass) and cocktail hour (saxophone, piano, bass) and then DJ'd our reception. Justin made sure that the music played at our wedding and cocktail hour was tailored to specifically match the vibe of our dinner playlist. He even surprised us by playing one of our favorite Herbie Hancock tunes during cocktail hour. The vibe of the live jazz trio during cocktail hour was a perfect transition over to dinner. Justin then switched over to DJ our dinner and reception afterwards. He played all the right songs to keep the dance floor flowing all night. If you are seeking a combination of live music and DJ at your wedding I would highly recommend Skylark Music.”

“From our first interaction with Valentino Entertainment, LLC, we were impressed by their thorough, relaxed, and reassuring communication style. Paul and his team provided a truly professional experience, with top-notch equipment and amazing value for the services they delivered. They worked tirelessly as our hard-working entertainers, genuinely caring about making our special day a blast. The reception environment was such an active party - at one point, I went back to the head table to get water and no one was sitting, as people were fully dancing or enjoying the music from the sidelines. Even when we had to make some last-minute changes to the day's details, Paul was able to roll with it seamlessly, even practicing our long last name until he got it right. The remainder of the reception was an absolute blast, with people dancing through the entire end of the night. It was truly the best day and party we could have had, and we would hire Valentino Entertainment, LLC again in a heartbeat. The photobooth was also a great value-add.”

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) open-format DJ & MC who specializes in weddings for couples who want a packed dance floor and peace of mind. I make sure every guest feels included and engaged from cocktail hour through the final song. I focus on smooth transitions, natural energy, and zero cheesy mic work. I provide professional sound, immersive dance-floor lighting, uplighting, and a photo booth guests love — so you can relax and fully enjoy an unforgettable night.

“Booking DJ Ore was one of the best calls we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last song at 1am, he was on top of everything — quick to respond, organized, and genuinely invested in getting our day right. We got married at a camp in the Catskills with the ceremony out in the woods, which meant some tricky logistics: separate sound for the ceremony in the trees, load-in with the venue staff, a timeline that kept shifting on him. Ore handled all of it and we never had to think about any of it. The music was unreal, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests basically refused to leave it, and we honestly lost count of how many people came up to us throughout the night to say how good the music and the DJ were. The thing I'll always remember, though, is how he made space for my Tío to play. My Tío sang and played guitar, and Ore made sure he had everything he needed to do it right. He and Chris brought so much energy and just knew how to keep the room going. If you want a DJ who's professional, easy to talk to, and cares about your day, book him. Thank you for everything, Ore — you gave us a night we won't forget. Cannot recommend enough.”

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If I could give Jessica 10/5 stars I would. From the communication, the warmth and friendliness, and her ability to see a couple as they are and capture that magic - Jessica was our absolute best decision during the wedding planning process. Our engagement photo shoot absolutely blew us away and she treated us like friends (and supermodels). Jessica helped us write our entire wedding day - of timeline (minus the DJ stuff) the month prior. Then came the day of the wedding - Jessica acted as an expert photographer, coordinator, delegator to the bridal party (our party needed wrangling at times!!), and absolutely stood up for us and our wishes every single step of the way. She saw my face get a little overwhelmed at one point when our family arrived for early photos, and she whisked me away and got me a drink of ice water and checked in. She knew just from a glance that that’s what I needed. We just got our sneak peek photos from her and I am again amazed by Jessica. These photos well exceed all expectations and we feel like royalty looking at them. If you are looking for not only an incredible photographer, but the coolest person to work with (who will also go to bat for you on your most important day), choose Jessica Yurko!!”

I have never in my life had someone care so deeply about my photos, especially such important ones for my wedding. I’m still in shock at how incredible she was. I originally had a completely different photographer booked and only hired her for our engagement session. My husband and I instantly fell in love with her, she made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about capturing us. I actually canceled my original photographer before even seeing the engagement photos, because I just knew. And of course, the engagement photos were AMAZING. The wedding photos? Even better. I truly cannot speak highly enough of her. Our photos are beyond beautiful, there are no words to describe how grateful we are.”

I work with both digital and 35mm and 120mm film, as well as Super 8, to create images that are honest, atmospheric, and full of texture. My focus is on capturing the energy, connection, and feeling of a day without over-directing. Inspired by visual culture and storytelling, I aim to make work that feels personal and lasting.

“MC Fish Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the very first interaction, Dave's communication was fast, accurate, and friendly. Dave, aka MC Fish, not only did an incredible job as our DJ, but he went above and beyond to provide helpful advice, tips, and anything else we needed on our wedding day.

“I'll add photos once I have them, but wow wow wow, Andrew and the band TOTALLY crushed it at my wedding! I didn't stop dancing the whole time, and at the end, my guests were shouting for an encore (which we got, which resulted in more shouts for more encores). They prepared a custom arrangement for my first dance that was absolutely perfect, and even threw in a rendition of Wonderwall near the end at my special request lol. Just the warmest, best band I could have asked for, and who completely blew me away day-of. 15/10.”

“We could not have asked for a better photo and video team than Pioneer Media! From the moment we met them, they made the entire experience so much fun and helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They brought such great energy to our wedding day, and honestly, having them there felt like hanging out with friends! Lynette was absolutely amazing at giving clear direction, which made such a huge difference. Neither of us considers ourselves particularly natural in front of a camera, but she knew exactly how to position us, where to look, and how to make everything feel effortless and natural. We never felt awkward or unsure of what we were supposed to be doing. And the previews!!! We were blown away by how quickly we received them. It was so exciting to relive the day almost immediately, and the photos and video already look incredible. We are beyond excited to see the full gallery and films. If you want a team that is talented, fun, professional, and genuinely makes your wedding day easier and more enjoyable, we cannot recommend Pioneer Media enough. They were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!”

“Mikayla and her team provided amazing hair and makeup services for myself and my bridal party for my wedding! I did a trial with them about 2 months before my wedding so I could see what looked best with my hair and complexion, and create the vision I had in mind for my bridal look. They were both so nice and heard what I had to say and worked with me to create the look I wanted. On the day of, they were super organized to get through each member of my bridal party in the time we had allotted. I didn’t have strict styles in mind for the other girls, so they were able to work with the variety of inspo. pictures my bridesmaids brought and made a beautiful and cohesive set of looks on each girl. They worked with various different hair and skin types easily and when my mother-in-law had a relatively-last minute request to use hair extensions, they were super flexible to be able to provide that service as well. Iris Beauty’s skilled and reliable team created beautiful looks for all of us on my wedding day, I highly recommend them to any future brides!”

“We had our wedding at Kindred Creeks at the beginning of May 2022. I have so many great things to say about this place! First off, Jill was extraordinary, caring, attentive and so helpful from start to finish. She was able to work within our budget while keeping our dream wedding a reality. She had rain plans, sunny day plans, plans for more or less people and was thorough throughout. Her father, Gerry, who lives in the farm came out the day before and day of the wedding to make sure we were taken care of and that anything we needed would be done. And the tent staff was kind, courteous and officiant! The grounds itself were gorgeous! We were the first to use the airstream bridal suite which got so many compliments and great photos. They also redid the bridge across the creek for the wedding party to walk over during the ceremony. I fell in love with the green barn and even though it needs to come down soon, they held off construction so we could take pictures in front of it. We got married right where the two creeks meet which was so beautiful. All our guest had nothing be great things to say and we are beyond happy with the experience. If you are thinking of taking a tour of the farm, don’t hesitate! You will fall in love just like we did!”

“The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!”

Communication was fast, honest, easy, and open - Pia always responded quickly to emails and was upfront about options and pricing.
