We're Beacon-based Hudson Valley & Catskills wedding + elopement photographers who love to capture natural, authentic moments for all couples in love.
Engagement sessions are always a special time for couples to celebrate their love, and Zhi and Sam’s session at Croton Gorge Park was no exception. As Hudson Valley engagement photographers, we always aim to highlight the natural beauty of our region while telling the couple’s unique love story. On this crisp fall day, the park’s stunning landscapes provided the perfect backdrop.

We began the session against the iconic dam and massive stone walls of Croton Gorge Park. These features offer a dramatic and timeless setting, perfect for engagement photos. While the fall of 2024 brought a drier season to the Hudson Valley, the park still offered plenty of beauty, even with the reduced water flow from the waterfall. The cascading structure remained an impressive focal point, drawing attention to Zhi and Sam’s playful connection.
Next, we moved to the riverbed, where the low tide revealed scattered rocks and serene pools of water. Zhi and Sam’s adventurous spirits shone through as they walked along the stones, enjoying the peaceful ambiance. These moments are what make Westchester engagement photography so rewarding; capturing couples in authentic, relaxed interactions.
As the session continued, we took advantage of the park’s scenic trails lined with vibrant fall foliage. The rich oranges, reds, and yellows framed the couple perfectly, creating images that are both intimate and filled with seasonal charm. Their constant laughter and warm smiles made every moment feel effortless, giving us the chance to highlight their unique bond.
One of our favorite aspects of being Beacon-based wedding photographers is getting to know the couples we work with. Zhi and Sam were so comfortable with each other and with us, which made their session flow naturally. We always strive to create an environment where couples can truly be themselves, allowing their love to take center stage.
The versatility of Croton Gorge Park engagement sessions is another reason we love this location. From its striking man-made structures to its tranquil natural settings, it’s a place that offers endless possibilities for storytelling. Whether walking hand in hand along a trail or sharing a laugh by the river, each moment felt authentic and full of joy.
For couples considering a Westchester engagement photography session, Croton Gorge Park is a fantastic choice. Its variety of landscapes allows for a mix of dramatic and intimate shots, all within one location. As Hudson Valley engagement photographers, we are constantly inspired by the park’s beauty and its ability to bring out the best in our couples.

Engagement sessions like Zhi and Sam’s remind us why we love what we do. Their connection was undeniable, their energy infectious, and their joy palpable. We left the session feeling grateful to have captured these special moments for them in such a breathtaking location.

Zhi and Sam’s session at Croton Gorge Park is a testament to the magic of the Hudson Valley in every season. We can’t wait to return to this incredible location to capture more love stories like theirs. If you’re looking for engagement photographers who will celebrate your unique connection while showcasing the beauty of the Hudson Valley, we would love to help tell your story.
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.
