Hi, I'm Brea- a wedding photographer based out of New York's Hudson Valley with a focus on artfully making the photography of your dreams into reality.... My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

I had the pleasure of working with Brea on a recent bridal photoshoot. She was not only lovely to work with but she delivered stunning photos in record time!

As a wedding photographer I have been to an incredible number of venues and Locust Hill Barn is a complete stand out. The barn is a bright airy space, with beautiful grounds. Everything you need is right there with little effort. You have a ceremony site, woodlands, farmland, pond, and space outside for guests to roam around. The cocktail hour outside is beautiful, I especially love the lounge area under the tree shade. It also helps that this barn can house large weddings. I would highly recommend!

Having our wedding at Handsome Hollow was an absolute dream. Kate and her team are professional, thorough, and beyond helpful before and on the day of the wedding. The location and grounds are stunning! We chose to have our ceremony in the fern forest a little ways up from the barn - it's like walking into a fairytale. The barn is a beautiful reception space that's open, inviting, and even more magical after sunset under the glowing string lights! We had a few guests including a couple of our family members who required assistance walking at certain times, but that was not a problem at all... The team communicates like special special forces to make sure everyone is comfortable and anyone requiring assistance gets shuttled swiftly by an off road buggy wherever they need to go! We also got shuttled as Bride & Groom does have it's privelages :) It was such a relief to know everyone was taken care of. Staying in the guest house was fantastic. The morning of the wedding I got ready upstairs in the barn loft, while my wife had the farmhouse the with hair/makeup and all of that. It's such a cute house, and was so nice to not have any traveling before our big day. Everything you would need is stocked at the farmhouse and help always seemed readily available if needed. It was just the relaxed easy going atmosphere we needed to chill out as much as possible before the wedding. There are so many great nooks and places for photo ops at Handsome Hollow! For a summer day it wasn't too hot at all, maybe the elevation helps a bit with that! It was warm before the ceremony when we took some photos in the sun, but we just cooled down in the farmhouse afterwards. The ceremony in the fern garden was under cover of trees so it was perfectly cool (both temperature and vibes!) The barn just seems to stay cool also, so that was no issue at all. We didn't get a chance to eat our desserts, so the team brought them up to the farmhouse for us to enjoy after the wedding was over. It's that level of hospitality, and so appreciated. My only regret is that I couldn't split myself into two people so I could not only get married, but also see the food buffet, see the s'mores by the campfire, watch our first dance (we nailed it!!). Luckily we had a phenomenal wedding planner (Lauren / Wild Blooms Bridal), and phenomenal photographer (Joshua Brown) to compliment the venue! It was truly an amazing day, and we can't thank you enough. You cannot go wrong with Handsome Hollow!!!

The price of the venue was incredibly reasonable, and it allowed for a very personalized wedding which we loved (no required vendors). Wally, the owner, was amazing to work with. He had great recommendations for vendors, was very communicative and accommodating, and made the whole process so easy. We also loved that our friends could camp at the venue, which made figuring out transportation a lot easier. Lastly, the venue itself was so beautiful! Our guests gushed all night about what a perfect backdrop the valley was for the ceremony.

We loved our wedding at ElmRock Inn! The venue is gorgeous and I had the time of my life. Staying onsite was amazing. I highly recommend ElmRock. The chef is fantastic and we will remember our wedding fondly for the rest of our lives. There were a few negatives during our stay, but we are still very glad that we got married at ElmRock. The first negative was that the water in the BnB and carriage house (where bride/groom stayed) kept running out at night. This was pretty annoying, but not a huge issue since the water was usually fine by morning. Second, the venue coordinator was pretty rude throughout the weekend and especially to my family. Many people at the wedding commented about how rude she was (and the fact that she wore white pants to our wedding!). The rest of the staff was nicer, though a couple of the servers were also rude, just not as bad. I expected the staff to be more accommodating and welcoming the entire weekend, but it really felt more like we were getting scolded at times. Lastly, they served my wedding cake really cold and had clearly forgotten to take it out of the fridge to get to room temperature before serving. That was quite frustrating, especially since I heard them talking about how I (the bride) needed to hurry up to start the cake cutting while I was changing, but the cake wasn't even ready! Overall, the venue is gorgeous and we had a lovely time. I think the experience would be improved by some updating to their plumbing and getting a coordinator that's nicer to their customers. The food was AMAZING and the chef is fantastic, just be warned if you're sensitive to people who can be rude/unaccommodating.

This document stands as one of America’s first declarations of independence and is often given as the reason we celebrate July 4. The ‘76 accommodates up to 150 guests in 3 distinctly styled dining rooms, each one graced with a glowing fireplace.

Our vision for our wedding was for all our favorite people having a night out at a bar and the 76 house more than delivered! We loved the historical aspect of the restaurant and they even had little pamphlets our guests could take that shared the history of the venue. This is a bit of an untraditional wedding venue (as it is a restaurant) but that didn’t stop anyone from dancing and having a great time. From the moment we started working with Elisa (our “wedding planner” aka the woman who runs the show) she was detail oriented while willing to work with us throughout the whole process. Whether it was from payment, table arrangements, food, getting the vendors set up, etc. anything we needed, she helped. The food tasting she set up for us was amazing allowing us to try various options for the dinner. We are both laid back people so we let the chef go with any appetizers he wanted. You are able to request anything you want and they will likely be able to do it for you. The chef did not disappoint, ALL of the apps were incredible. We had one guest mention he ate 20 meatballs they were so good. There was chicken, steak skewers, lamb chops, meatballs, hummus/veggie spread (that wasn’t even all that was served). We had eaten at the restaurant a few times so we knew the food was good. However, having to serve 120 people and still make it delicious is tough but they did it well (we went with the chateaubriand, amish chicken, mahi mahi, and vegetable risotto). We requested no pork or nuts for the whole wedding. We had a wedding cake through a bakery they recommended and they also put plates of small desserts out on the tables. Aside from the food, the service was amazing. All the waiters and waitresses were attentive and extremely professional. For us, we constantly had our champagne filled and asked whether we needed something. They were on top of water refills, drink requests, clean up, etc. We really appreciated the service given to us and our guests. We heard so many times during cocktail hour that every time someone turned around they had a food option. While we did not have to go up to the bar, our guests said the bartenders were awesome, quick, and generous! Elisa worked great with our other vendors as well, making sure they had everything they needed and that things were kept on schedule (food, dances, cake, etc). We had a completely stress free evening which allowed us to have the time of our lives. She ensured that our tables were set with the centerpieces, the florals were set up, and she created a menu for us (which is great to have something taken off our plate). Elisa also, set up our various signs and ensured everything was where we had discussed. We were able to drop everything off ahead of time and not have anything to worry about the day of. Our biggest concern going to this venue was the fact that the front room was partially separated from the rest of the restaurant. We decided to sit people there who we knew would be a bit rowdier and on the dance floor so it wasn’t an issue for us at all. It did get pretty toasty in there but we were dancing the whole time and it’s an older building. The air tried its best and while sitting for dinner it was more than comfortable! We are a crazy group so I’m not surprised we were sweating lol. This was the best day and a HUGE part of that is thanks to Elisa and her whole team at the 76 house. Food, service, people are TOP NOTCH. We could go on and on but ran out of space :)

Lavender and Leaf Designs

  • Florist
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY

L & L is a bespoke wedding and event floral design studio servicing the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions of NY. We're a couple of flower loving gals with a passionate about creating beauty for life's most celebrated moments. Our designs are a perfect combination of wild and romantic. Lush blooms, textured greenery and foraged elements from our cutting gardens as well as from the wild are what define our natural aesthetic.

Lavender & Leaf is the epitome of floral design and an absolute dream to work with. As a bride, you have a million things to worry about that you’ve NEVER done before! When I met Sarah, I knew immediately I was in great hands. She instantly made me feel at ease as she walked me through her process and educated me on florals, what works together and what is/isn’t in season. I remember walking through my venue the day of the wedding and just seeing it BURST with beautiful blooms and greenery. I got married at a vineyard and her creative genius complimented everything perfectly. I can go on and on but trust me when I say you are in GREAT hands with Lavender & Leaf. I can not recommend them enough!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY

Hi! I'm Maria! I am a New York based fine-art wedding photographer that longs to capture real and authentic love anywhere and everywhere. I say Fine Art because I actually have a fine arts degree in photography. I am a happy wife who mar­ried her high-school sweetheart, an art book hoarder and slightly dog obsessed. I have loved photographing for as long as I can remember.

Maria is an absolute superstar behind the camera! We are blown away by our wedding day previews and engagement session photos. She captured our day perfectly and made us look so cool!! I am most grateful for her calm yet confident demeanor in the less than fun/uncomfortable moments that naturally come with weddings. Going into our engagement session, my husband and I had never been photographed together before, so we were definitely giving awkward couple energy. Maria took her time to talk to us on a personal level until we were relaxed enough to frolic around for our session. Come wedding day, we felt like professionals and being natural behind the camera was easy. She gave us energy when we were lacking it and kept things moving when we needed the push. My husband and I have very sticky family dynamics which gave me a lot of anxiety when it came to photos. But Maria was completely understanding and made that part of the day go off without a hitch. We can't thank Maria enough for all that she did for us over this past year or so. Her work speaks for itself - everything she shoots is absolutely gorgeous. The added benefit to all of the beautiful photos is the amazing, down-to-earth person you get to work with. We highly recommend Maria. You cannot go wrong with using her for your big day!

Erica and Rachel were wonderful to work with! They went above and beyond to make the photography for our wedding day gorgeous, with different back drops, and also effective time wise! My husbands one request was to have is enjoy our entire cocktail hour without pictures. Erica did just that! She scheduled our first look, family and bridal party pictures so well that we did not need to take any more pictures during cocktail. Her communication was superb and she was extremely flexible when a few things came up last minute. Just from our sneak peaks, I was able to tell she really captured the essence of our relationship! We cannot wait to see the rest! I would highly recommend Erica Lee Photography!
