Onteora Mountain House is easily one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the Catskills. And Beth and Ari’s Catskills wedding was amazing. It was an unseasonably warm day at the end of May but the sun was shining and love was in the air.
Venue: Onteora Mountain House
Joanna and Isaac’s Full Moon Resort wedding was a perfect wedding day in the Catskills. Full Moon Resort is located in Big Indian NY, deep in the heart of the Catskills. Surrounded by mountain peaks and nestled right next to the Esopus Creek, this resort offers some beautiful backdrops. It’s a great place for a Hudson Valley wedding close to NYC. The day started with a surprise appearance by a little black bear who was munching on some apples that had fallen from a tree. The uninvited guest was shooed away and didn’t make another appearance. After that bit of excitement was over, we started on the formal portraits by photographing the girls and guys separately. I could tell by everyone’s energy that it was going to be an amazing day. The threat of rain prevented them from having the ceremony in the lower grove but what they may have missed in terms of scenery they more than made up for with their heartfelt vows. The reception was a great dance party with the John Bates Band rocking the party late into the night. It was a great day and one that anyone who attended will not soon forget.

Chris and William’s same sex wedding at The Emerson Resort and Spa in Mount Tremper was awesome. The ceremony was in the great room. It was filled with both laughter and tears and was a heartfelt testimonial . William sung a song he wrote for Christopher while he played the piano. There was not a dry eye in the room. Everyone was touched by their love for one another. For the reception their vision was to have a low key cocktail party style reception followed by dancing and the Emerson did a great job with every detail. The jazz music by Alexis Cole was excellent and definitely set a tone for the evening. Below are a few or my favorite images.
I met May & Terrence at Mohonk Mountain House for their engagement shoot on a rainy April day. I was hoping that the rain would stop so we could walk through the gardens, but it was alright that it didn’t because it is Mohonk after all and there’s plenty of covered places to take pictures. We had a great time anyway and best of all, the rest of the weekend cleared up so they were able to fully enjoy the grounds during their stay. Below are a couple of my favorite shots from the day. They’re a great couple and I can’t wait until their August wedding!

I met Chris and William for the first time on the morning that I did their same sex engagement photos at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. It turned out that they’re awesome guys and oh, so in love. We had a great time walking around and getting to know each other. I could see their chemistry and their genuine love for one another. They are such a cute couple and I can’t wait for their August wedding at The Emerson Resort in Shandaken, NY. The Emerson is nestled in the beautiful Catskills.

I have the say that 2012 was a great year to be a Catskills Wedding Photographer. I photographed so many great weddings throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills. I shot weddings in reception halls and in barns. I shot wedding’s out of doors. I had a great time at each and every one. I pulled together some of my favorite shots from 2012 for a slideshow. This is by no means a definitive collection since I shot tens of thousands of images, but just a selection of some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.
