We're Beacon-based Hudson Valley & Catskills wedding + elopement photographers who love to capture natural, authentic moments for all couples in love.
Bethia and Max celebrated their spring Roundhouse wedding at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY. We are Hudson Valley wedding photographers who have shot at this venue many times, and it never gets old. The Roundhouse sits right above a waterfall on the banks of Fishkill Creek. It is a truly special setting to work in.

The first weekend of May was about as good as it gets for an outdoor wedding day. Temperatures were right around 70 degrees, and the light was soft and even. The trees still had some blossoms on them, which made every frame feel very much of the season. A spring Roundhouse wedding in May is really hard to beat.

The Roundhouse has a lot going for it as a Hudson Valley wedding venue. The original wood beams, exposed brick walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows give it real character. The property also has a lot of variety, from the falls and the train tracks to the brick buildings and open green spaces. As a Beacon-based photography team, we know this campus well and always find something new to work with.

Max and the guys got ready in the Mill Building on the Roundhouse hotel campus. The industrial feel of that space is great for getting ready portraits. We love that The Roundhouse has two genuinely different getting-ready spaces on the same property. It saves a lot of time and keeps the day moving smoothly.

Bethia got ready in the bridal suite penthouse, which sits up high above the falls. The light in that space is really good, and it photographs well. We spent time with her and the bridesmaids before heading out for the first look. That penthouse was also about to become the backdrop for one of the best moments of the day.

It had rained earlier in the morning, so we made the call to do the first look on the penthouse balcony. The balcony looks directly out over Fishkill Overlook Falls, which is a pretty hard view to compete with. The bridesmaids gathered to watch as Bethia walked out to Max. It was a genuinely sweet moment, and the setting made it even better.

After the first look, we took Bethia and Max down to the train tracks side of the falls. Having the water moving behind them and the venue in the background is one of our go-to setups at a spring Roundhouse wedding. The light there varies a lot depending on cloud cover, and on this day it worked in our favor. We always plan to spend time at this spot.

Next, we worked the exposed brick walls outside the Roundhouse hotel building. Brick is a reliable backdrop in almost any light, and it works especially well with wedding attire. There were also some blossoms still on the trees nearby, which we worked into a few frames. That combination is very specific to a spring Roundhouse wedding and you have to take advantage of it while you can.

For family portraits, we used the hedge on the property as a clean, green backdrop. It worked well with Bethia and Max’s spring color palette. As a Beacon-based photography team and Hudson Valley wedding photographers, we have a solid sense of where to position people at this venue. That familiarity keeps things efficient and low-stress for families.

The ceremony took place on the Roundhouse grounds, and the florals on the chuppah were really something. They suited the spring Roundhouse wedding palette perfectly. The cloud and sun coverage throughout the ceremony was cooperative, giving us consistent, even light. That kind of sky is genuinely great for ceremony photography.

As the evening started to come in, guests moved outside for cocktail hour at the Roundhouse hotel. The late afternoon light at this time of year is long and warm, which photographs really well. Some of our favorite frames from the whole day happened during cocktail hour. It is one of those parts of the day where things feel relaxed and you can just react.

After cocktail hour, Bethia and Max changed into their hanboks for their Pyebaek ceremony. This traditional Korean tea ceremony was one of the most meaningful parts of the whole day. The colors and the ritual of it made for really strong images. We always appreciate when couples include cultural traditions like this in their wedding day.

The reception kicked off with the couple’s intro and their first dance. Then the hora got going almost immediately after, and the energy in the room completely shifted. The hora is one of the most fun things to photograph at any wedding. There is a lot happening at once, and you just have to move with it.

After the first dance set, everyone sat down for dinner and speeches. The toasts were funny and personal, and the room was really into it. Then the dancing picked right back up and kept going through the end of the night. A spring Roundhouse wedding like this one tends to have a lot of energy, and this one delivered.

As a Beacon-based photography team, we shoot every wedding with a documentary approach. We are paying attention to what is actually happening rather than directing things. We also shoot both film and digital, which gives the final gallery a lot of range. Bethia and Max’s day is a good example of the kind of work we love doing.

A day like this comes together because of a lot of talented people working well together. The entire event was hosted and catered by The Roundhouse, whose team kept everything running on schedule. Wild Blooms Bridal coordinated the day and did a great job keeping things on track. Hair and makeup was done by Tatiana Lima, who did beautiful work.

Bethia’s dress came from Colby John Bridal, and the ceremony florals were designed by Atha Bold. James Mulry was the DJ and kept the floor full all night. The Pyebaek ceremony attire was provided by The Hanbok. We were really glad to share this spring Roundhouse wedding with such a solid group of vendors.
Either way works for us! We’ll be in touch in no time at all to book in a chat with you and, yes, we’re sure Cordy and Phoebe will pop up and say hi.
