ISO Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer!
Hi everyone!
I'm really struggling to find a wedding photographer, and I'm hoping someone here has recommendations.
My fiancé and I are getting married on July 24, 2027 at Handsome Hollow in Long Eddy, NY (it's a bit of a destination wedding). One of our friends took our save-the-date photos, and I completely fell in love with them and the overall aesthetic. (Cinematic? Nature-forward? Romantic Nostalgia??) (Timeless!!) She's just starting out with photography, though, and since she'll be attending as a guest, I don't want her to have to spend the day working.
The problem is that I can't seem to find any photographers whose portfolios have a similar style, and I'm hoping to find someone who can capture that same vibe for our wedding.
Our budget is ideally $6,500 or less (though I'm not sure if that's realistic for this area, so please let me know if I'm way off!).
If anyone has recommendations for photographers in the Catskills, Hudson Valley, Upstate NY, or even New England who are willing to travel and shoot in this style, I'd be so grateful! I'd also love to hear if you've worked with someone you absolutely loved.
Thank you so much! 🤍
EDIT: Thank you all for the recommendations, my fiance and I are going to go through them all soon and decide, I am so grateful for this you have no idea!
