Danielle and Matt’s Cold Spring engagement session takes place on a hazy summer evening. As Hudson Valley engagement photographers, we adore this time of day. The light glows softly through the mist, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Little Stony Point Park engagement sessions always offer something special. This time, the golden sun peeks through the haze just in time. It lights up the Hudson River and frames the mountains in a warm glow.
We start this session at the top overlook, a must-visit in any Cold Spring engagement session. The view of Storm King Mountain across the river never disappoints. Danielle and Matt take a moment here to relax into the shoot.
They dip, spin, and laugh through sweet poses that help them feel at ease. One reason we recommend engagement sessions is for this exact purpose. It gives couples a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera. We always encourage doing an engagement session before the big day. It’s the perfect way to shake off camera nerves. More than that, you get to know how we work, and we get to learn what feels most natural for you.
As Beacon wedding photographers, we often photograph couples throughout the Hudson Valley. Cold Spring and Little Stony Point Park offer incredible variety in scenery. That makes it ideal for getting a wide range of images in one session.
After the overlook, we take the trail down into the woods. Everything is lush and green in the summer. Soft light filters through the trees, giving the whole scene a warm and inviting vibe. These two keep things lighthearted as we move through the forest path. We pause often for moments that feel genuine. Our approach to Hudson Valley engagement photography focuses on authenticity and movement.
Eventually, we reach the beach for the second part of this Cold Spring engagement session. The river is calm. Gentle waves meet the shore as the sky turns a soft amber color. We take photos in the sand with the hazy sunset behind them. The mood feels intimate and quiet, like the river is holding space just for them. Moments like these are why we love being Beacon wedding photographers.
To wrap up, Danielle and Matt walk the shoreline hand in hand. These kinds of images feel timeless. The connection between them speaks louder than any pose could. We always aim to make our couples feel relaxed and natural. That’s why we guide our sessions with gentle direction and lots of encouragement. No stiff posing, just movement and emotion.
Cold Spring engagement sessions at Little Stony Point Park give us so much to work with. The combination of mountaintop views, wooded trails, and riverside beach is unbeatable. Even in changing weather, this spot delivers. Whether it’s misty, sunny, or overcast, we always find the light and make it work. That’s part of what makes Hudson Valley engagement photography so rewarding.
