Reed Photography

Valatie, NY
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

Hi Friends! I'm Courtney and I am the person behind the camera here at Reed Photography! I've been living in Columbia County (almost) all of my life! I briefly moved to New Jersey after my now husband, Jon and I got engaged 11 years ago! We've been back in the area for 10 years and have two sons, Liam and Cayden, our daughter, Mia and our "golden" child, our Golden Retriever Brody! I'm an avid country music fan, concert addict, Netflix binger, and New England Patriots fan!

“Cannot say enough great things about Courtney! She felt like a friend from the very start. She was super organized in helping plan out our day and what photos/moments we wanted to capture. Her photography work from our day was amazing. I am absolutely obsessed with how our pictures came out! She caught so many moments from the reception I wasn’t around to see and I am forever grateful. She even did our maternity photoshoot too!”

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.

“I first met Megan and Kenneth through working an event that they photographed where I work. I knew instantly that I wanted to work with them for my wedding as it just felt so warm and relaxing to be in their presence. My husband and I wanted to feel like ourselves and have fun with the photos and that is exactly what they delivered. I was never stressed about the photos or the video because I knew Megan and Kenneth had it completely covered. They were extremely responsive over email and zoom calls in the months before the wedding and would answer all questions promptly. They even provided extremely helpful suggestions and built the photography timeline for the wedding so it never felt like we were running behind or losing time. Overall I cannot recommend Megan and Kenneth enough! It was an absolutely wonderful experience and we definitely will work with them again for whatever photo needs we have down the line.”

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.”

“We cannot recommend Black Walnut Farm enough—it was the perfect place for the wedding of our dreams! From the breathtaking forest ceremony site that felt like stepping into a fairytale, to the warm and vibrant barn that created the ideal setting for our reception and dance party, to the sprawling wildflower gardens that surrounded our golden cocktail hour — every part of the venue is magical. The venue owners, Sarah and Jim, were incredible to work with—so flexible and supportive in helping us create a wedding that truly reflected us. They not only encouraged our own ideas but also suggested thoughtful details we wouldn’t have considered on our own, making our day even more special. It felt like a true collaboration and both my wife and I felt understood by them in this partnership. What really stood out is how effortlessly beautiful and well-equipped the venue is. We only added some simple table flowers, and that was it! It’s truly a “ready-to-go” venue that makes wedding planning so much easier while still looking stunning. We’re already looking forward to attending more events at Black Walnut Farm so we can keep the connection to this incredible place.

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.

Skylark Music

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Valatie, 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
“Jesse was amazing at our wedding and we cannot recommend his service more. He was incredibly professional and responsive over email, and respected our music requests. When the wedding day came around, he kept our guests entertained during cocktail hour and transitioned seamlessly to our dinner service. Further, when he discovered there was an antique piano in our venue (which we didn't mention to him since the venue told us it wasn't tuned or working), he asked permission to get it running and used it instead of his keyboard. This made for even better ambiance and photos and we were very impressed at how quickly he adapted. We can confidently recommend Jesse and Skylark Music for any wedding and are very thankful to them making our day so special!”

Annaliese paid attention to every little detail, making sure I was completely happy with the final look and was so flexible with any changes I wanted to make, no matter how big or small. Annaliese and her co-stylist, Heather, were absolute pros!

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.

“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. He kept everyone on the dance floor and helped our reception run perfectly smooth! I am so thankful we chose MC Fish Entertainment and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Dave!”

“The ladies at Elle Beauty were friendly and personable, and we enjoyed working with them. However, after my trial I should have pursued someone different for my hair! The makeup was fantastic and Mikayla was so kind, but the hair was not as polished as we expected. I'm attaching my MIL's photo, with her hair and makeup immediately after the stylists left, so you can make your own judgements- that being said, they did ask multiple times if we were comfortable with the look, but we felt a time-crunch and accepted what it was. I've also attached my photo immediately after the session- again, I loved the makeup but I wish my hair was set to last the whole night. Both ladies were flexible when we changed the location last minute, making a long drive to support us at the venue, and we so appreciate that! I would suggest Elle Beauty for those in the immediate Kingston area of NY.”

Hi! I am a professional makeup artist specializing in bridal! I have been in the wedding industry since 2018 and loving every second of it. I am so grateful for each and every one of my brides that trust my team and I on their big day!

“If you’re reading this, just do it. Book Gabby as your makeup artist because you won’t regret it. One of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning era. Gabby has been so amazing from the moment I booked her up until the wedding day. She was so sweet and easy to work with, she made me feel comfortable and understood my vision. I barely ever wear makeup but when I looked in the mirror after my trial I felt SO BEAUTIFUL. She knew what I was talking about, when I said Natural but elevated and was so open to any feedback or things I wanted to change. The day of the wedding she was our superhero. My mom had fallen a few days before the wedding and her face had scratches and cuts. Of course we couldn’t put makeup on any open wounds but she worked with my mom and made her feel calm and assured her she would look beautiful. My mom and I are so grateful for Gabby, my mom looked amazing. She made us both feel and look so beautiful. My makeup was flawless, and lasted all night I didn’t want to take it off by the end of the night. THANK YOU for everything, for bringing good vibes, making myself, my girls, and my mom feel and look SO BEAUTIFUL. once my wedding photos come back I’ll send more!!”

“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!”

“From the very beginning, Scott and The Music Boutique were an absolute pleasure to work with. Music was such an important part of our wedding day, and Scott truly took the time to get to know us. He really listened to our wants and needs, and personalized every detail for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. It never felt like a "one-size-fits-all" experience - he made everything feel uniquely us. One thing that really stood out throughout the planning process was how responsive and attentive Scott was. Every conversation we had mattered, and he genuinely remembered the details we discussed, making us feel heard and confident that our vision was in the best hands. The live strings added such an elegant and emotional touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Walking down the aisle to beautifully performed live music is a moment we'll never forget, and so many of our guests commented on how incredible the musicians were. The cocktail hour music created the perfect atmosphere and tied everything together beautifully. Everything was executed flawlessly, allowing us to simply be present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. If you're looking for live music that will truly elevate your wedding, I cannot recommend The Music Boutique enough. Scott and his musicians brought so much beauty, elegance, and personality to our wedding, and we are incredibly grateful they were part of such a special day.”

“The Views at Mt Fuji was an absolute dream venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, Pia and her team were quick to respond, incredibly kind, and provided us with all the details we needed. Their communication was top-notch throughout the entire planning process. When it looked like rain might force us to move the ceremony indoors, Pia went out and got us a beautiful arch just in case, going above and beyond to make sure every detail was in place. The venue itself was breathtaking - words can't even describe how stunning the ceremony space and interior are. The exemplary service from Pia and her staff made our special day run seamlessly. We are forever grateful to The Views at Mt Fuji for helping to make our wedding dreams come true.”
