  • Serves Sterling Forest, NY

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.

Our experience was far beyond what we’d hoped for! We had so much fun at the engagement shoot; it felt like spending time catching up with friends, but then we somehow also ended with incredible photos of us as a couple that we’ll always cherish. This translated to the wedding day but also extended to so much more — as a couple we aren’t particular about a lot of things and prefer to go with the flow and enjoy the moment. Megan and Kenneth both provided a sense of structure for us without anything ever feeling forced, using both wedding expertise and also careful consideration of us as individuals. From the way Megan rapidly buttoned up my dress, to the beautiful shots taken of our treasured guests, to the bits of advice and kind encouragement before the ceremony and in our first moments as a married couple - our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without you both. We felt so lucky to have two people helping us to be present and focus on one another throughout the craziness of the day - and to have Kenneth make sure that my dress stayed clean and unwrinkled! I wish we had better words to capture how great our experience was! We also had very clear and consistent communication via email and video calls throughout the process! As someone who was planning quite a bit in advance, they were the one vendor I never felt nervous about because of large periods of time lapsing without hearing from them.

Black Walnut Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was the first venue we saw, and the moment we stepped on the property, we knew it was where we were meant to get married. From the start, Sara, Jim, and their team cared for us with such warmth and attention. Their online planning portal made everything simple, but what we loved most was how personally they got to know us. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in a way that felt truly meaningful. Throughout the weekend, every detail was handled with so much thought. Our guests felt welcomed, we felt supported, and even when the weather forced last-minute changes, the team stayed calm and kept everything running beautifully. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. Black Walnut Farm isn’t just a stunning venue, it’s a place filled with people who genuinely care about making your day unforgettable. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

Awarded Best of Zola
In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

We found Tyler at a wedding expo and I’m sooo glad we did! We originally didn’t want a videographer but seeing his work at the expo, guided us to picking Tyler. He is very professional, walks you through the process, makes you comfortable and worked amazing with our photographer who he’s never met. The video is mind blowing and I watch it every other day. You don’t only get one short video. You get a trailer and you get a few videos. We received it super quick as well! I HIGHLYYYYY recommend Tyler! Don’t hesitate and pick him for your day!

  • Serves Sterling Forest, NY

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Matt was an incredible experience. From the moment we found his website, we were immediately drawn to his style. About a month before the wedding, he took the time to go over every family and bridal party photo combination we wanted, creating a detailed, organized list. He also asked about any special moments or details we wanted captured, ensuring nothing was missed. On the wedding day, Matt was exceptionally organized and efficient. The whole process felt seamless, which meant we spent less time posing for group photos and more time enjoying our day. He captured everything we asked for—and more. When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and quantity. Every special moment we could have imagined was captured beautifully. Matt’s eye for composition, his artistic style, and the way he brings out colors in his photos really showcase his talent. If you're looking for an incredible photographer, we highly recommend booking him as soon as possible!

Skylark Music

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Sterling Forest, 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!

Ani was an absolute dream to work with! She is so kind, patient, and thoughtful, and truly made the entire process feel easy and collaborative. Because we booked her far in advance, our vision evolved a bit throughout planning, and she was incredibly thorough and helpful every step of the way—creating updated vision boards, adjusting pricing, and walking us through options as things changed. Her pricing was more than fair, especially considering the quantity of flowers and the sheer amount of work she and her team put into our day. They went above and beyond, and the final result was even more beautiful than we could have imagined, she truly brought our vision to life! One of our favorite photos captures our reaction seeing the flowers for the first time, and you can literally feel Ani’s warmth, kindness, and excitement in that moment. We are so grateful for all the care and effort she put into our wedding, and we can’t thank her enough. I only wish flowers lived forever, because I truly didn’t want to part with them!

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 used Heather for our chuppah rental for my wedding at Windham Manor. I saw her brown bark chuppah on Instagram and immediately knew I had to have it. Heather was amazing to work with and the result was absolutely stunning! I am so in love with how it turned out. She even helped me customize the wooden platform from another one of her rentals to work with our chuppah and give me the exact vision I wanted. She was also super flexible. I was slow to decide which location at the venue I wanted the ceremony at and she did not rush me at all. I ended up wanting the ceremony on the grass and the venue said the chuppah would have to be taken down the same night if we were to be allowed to do this. Of course Heather said this would be no problem at all and was immediately willing to stay and do this for us. They day of our wedding ended up being a bit crazy with on and off rain but Heather was totally calm and go with the flow while the planner worked on making the rain decision. She also attached a family tallis to the top of the chuppah and it stayed perfectly, despite the not ideal weather conditions. Highly recommend working with Heather!!!

My fiancè & I recently had the pleasure of working with Olivia for an engagement photo shoot, & we can honestly say it was magical from start to finish! If you’re looking for someone who knows how to capture genuine moments, Olivia is your girl!! Olivia was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, & truly took the time to understand our vision for the shoot. She came ready with a bunch of ideas & made us feel so at ease the entire time. She also had so many fun ways of getting ADORABLE “in the moment” type photos. Flash forward to getting our photos back… our jaws DROPPED when we saw them!! The entire gallery was edited absolutely beautifully & we could not choose a favorite (neither of us have still!) She captured the essence of us as a couple and that’s all we ever could have asked for. I absolutely, without a doubt, recommend Olivia for all your photography needs! We plan to use her in the future for more milestones moments. She is simply the best!!!!

So, when my Husband and I got Engaged, we called Eddie right away hoping he would be available for 1 of our 2 desired dates. Luckily, he was and there is no doubt he was a key component in making our Wedding the magnificent day it was. From the gorgeous Engagement photos, communication in-between and through the Wedding Day, Eddie was knowledgeable, creative and made our photography experience smooth and easy. Eddie considered all our requests and inquiries on types of photo documentation and was always available within 24 hours either by phone, text or email. Not bothered by any challenge, Eddie was always personable, wearing a Smile. Recognition also goes to Eddie’s colleague, Angelo whose talent and added support in covering our Wedding as our 2nd photographer ensured we got beautiful shots of the whole day. We now have a vast amount of photos to create a wonderful Wedding album to enjoy!

My name is Bekah Polonsky and I am a bridal makeup artist with a lifelong love for beauty and creativity. I trained at the Makeup Academy by Nina Mua, where I honed my technique, deepened my knowledge of skin tones and textures, and learned how to create looks that last through happy tears and dance-floor moments alike. My style is all about enhancing what makes you feel your best. I love creating looks that are fresh, timeless, and completely tailored to your personality. My goal is to make you feel confident, radiant, and totally yourself when you walk down the aisle.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I connected with Bekah, I could tell that we would work perfectly together. Bekah's clear dedication to her craft, her expertise, and of course, her incredibly positive demeanor made her the clear choice. Bekah communicated clearly with me from the initial inquiry email up until we were scheduling start time for wedding day. She was incredibly flexible with dates and times for the makeup trial, with adding in my grandmother when she arrived last minute for the wedding from outside the US, and was open to feedback when it came to final looks and any adjustments that needed to be made. Bekah is also skilled in hair and was able to assist with touch ups/adjustments. She was an absolute lifesaver when I was searching for a hair stylist for the big day, her experience and connections in the wedding industry really came through and found someone that was just as flexible and enjoyable to work with, who also happened to be in my price range for services! Bekah's positive demeanor helped keep me calm and cool on wedding day when I was stressed about a million and one things, always giving a laugh when needed and reassurance. She truly made me feel the most beautiful I ever have in my whole life and my look lasted well into the evening, even after dancing and sweating for hours! My mother and the rest of my party had such a great experience as well, everyone looked so wonderful, especially since my mother was a bit hesitant to have her makeup done since she doesn't typically use anything other than lipstick. I hope there's a chance for me to have Bekah's services again because she was just oh so incredible! You truly could not go wrong with Bekah and her services for your wedding day 3

Jessica was truly amazing to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, Jessica had a sweet and attentive communication style that immediately put us at ease. I remember after our first virtual meeting her even sending a little thank you gift for meeting with her. And she was so kind, she asked so many questions and seemed genuinely interested about us as a couple and about our dogs! I spoke with some other photographers who seemed to care less about us as people. Which is ultimately why we went with Jessica to begin with, she was just so nice and her pictures were amazing to top it all off. Her passion for her craft was evident in the beautiful, high-quality photos she captured. Also her photo package names were so great (THE STAR WARS - "I LOVE YOU, I KNOW”)! For our engagement shoot we suffered through some of the hottest, awful, sticky, July weather and she was positive the entire time, managed to get amazing shots and deal with our crazy dogs! Before the wedding, Jessica was always easily reachable, and very on the ball. And will always be your biggest cheerleader, anytime I posted anything on Instagram, Jessica would be there celebrating, she is truly a delightful and genuine person! And I think her run through of the wedding day was the first one I got and it was perfect! And she went to the venue a week before the wedding to scope out the absolute perfect spots to take photos! On the day of the wedding, Jessica was able to calmly get every picture perfect, meanwhile making silly dad jokes to help us feel more relaxed in front of the camera. She was amazing at trying to calm down our crying moms, and giving us some moments just to ourselves, listening to literally everything we said, and always making sure we were okay, all while getting amazing shots! And all of our guests loved her! We had people reaching out during and after the wedding to tell us how wonderful Jessica was. Everyone was obsessed with her, both of our mom, my sister, my bridesmaids, even the best man kept talking about how great she was, how amazing everything went, and how nice she was with everything! Meanwhile I am sure it was like trying to her cats to get some of the photos together, especially when we both wanted huge extended family photos, but she was positive and amazing through it all! Jessica went above and beyond on our special day, making sure everything was perfect. I am sure I even missing some of the little touches she added to our wedding. And we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. She says on her website “YOU CAN CALL ME JESS (SHE/HER). AKA YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!” And that is honestly how I felt throughout the whole process, literally love her! And I mean the photos really speak for themselves, they are absolutely flawless!

MC Fish Entertainment made our wedding reception feel like a real party from start to finish. From our first conversation, Dave was quick to respond to questions and willing to work around our needs, asking the right questions to understand what we wanted - and answering questions we didn’t know we had! He coordinated with our officiant and other vendors without us having to ask, which took so much stress off our plate. Based on just a few song selections we shared, he nailed our vibe and kept the energy high all night long. Every transition between dinner, toasts, and dancing felt smooth. We can't thank him enough! We got so many comments from guests on how great he was.

Lynette and Bryndon are the best around! I used them for both my photo and video, and they give you nothing but perfection! Everything came out better than I expected. They arrived on time if not early. They were very respectful in the church. They learned my entire bridal party’s names so instead of saying “you” and pointing, they said their actual names. They were very encouraging to my husband and I throughout the day, and very helpful with anything we needed. They also were very helpful before the wedding day. Lynette helped me figure out timing for the day, and that truly helped it run smoothly and on time. They gave us a large “sneak peak” within two weeks of the wedding, and then had the entire wedding album back around 3 months. The videos came back about a month and a half after the wedding. They shot my cousins wedding back in 2021, and my friends wedding in 2023 so by my wedding they truly felt like the are apart of my family. I highly recommend pioneer media for your photography and videography needs!!

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!

As someone who truly values wedding cake, there was a lot of pressure from family and friends. Victoria and I chatted directly several times, and mostly because she was so lovely I wanted to talk to her more. She is an INCREDIBLE artist with true talent for bringing flavors and designs to life. This cake was so stunning it stole the show! She is communicative, transparent, kind, and thoughtful. The entire process was executed flawlessly.

Mikayla and her team made my bridesmaids and I look gorgeous on my wedding day this past June. There was even a last minute issue where the hair stylist who did my original trial had an emergency that morning and couldn't make it. Mikayla took care of it at 7am and I didn't even find out there was a hiccup until I arrived later in the morning. She made me feel relaxed and listened to all of my last minute changes that day. She has a lovely energy and made sure our morning ran smoothly understood my request to not start before 8am despite having 7 bridesmaids and worked to get an extra stylist to make it happen. Highly recommend her services!

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!

My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Views at Mt Fuji and could not have been happier with our choice! Pia and her team were a delight to work with every step of the way. Communication was fast, honest, easy, and open - Pia always responded quickly to emails and was upfront about options and pricing. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful and provided a professional, picture-perfect backdrop for our special day. Pia went above and beyond by helping set up extra details for our reception like the signage and decor. She was there the moment the party started to make sure everything went smoothly.

Choosing The Garrison as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. The setting is stunning, but it is the team and the service that truly set this place apart. On our wedding day, the weather didn't exactly cooperate, and we had to pivot due to rain. The team at The Garrison didn't miss a beat. They seamlessly rearranged our plans and set up a beautiful indoor ceremony that felt just as intimate, romantic, and breathtaking as we had always dreamed. Their ability to handle the change of plans so effortlessly completely took the stress off of our shoulders. Our guests are still raving about the day, and we have received countless compliments on how incredible the food was. From the cocktail hour to the main course, everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. What really blew us away, though, was how attentive the staff was to us as a couple. They supported us throughout the entire course of the day, making sure we were actually fed, hydrated, and completely taken care of at every transition. We felt so deeply supported and cared for from the moment we arrived until the last dance. If you want a venue that offers top tier hospitality, delicious cuisine, and a team that will flawlessly handle whatever the day throws at you, look no further than The Garrison!

My approach is rooted in a documentary style that focuses on capturing genuine, unscripted moments as they naturally unfold. Whether it's the quiet emotion of an intimate vow exchange or the energy of a packed dance floor, I’m there to observe and preserve it all with honesty and intention. From small elopements to full-scale celebrations, I pay close attention to both the subtle details and the powerful, unforgettable scenes—because every wedding has its own unique story, and my goal is to tell it truthfully through my lens

Aleksandra is truly the definition of a professional. She has a clear, confident approach while being completely in the moment, adapting naturally to whatever’s happening. She captured our vibe perfectly and got the best angles. Communication before and after was seamless. On top of that, we got endless compliments on our photos- people, even on the day, couldn’t stop telling us how impressive she was. We recommend her to everyone!
