It was a beautiful fall day for this Saugerties elopement. With some leaves starting to turn color but still some green around, the beginning of fall had arrived. The sun was shining right on our beautiful couple during our introductions. They were ready to finally tie the knot after more than two decades together. We did some gorgeous Upstate New York wedding photography for their fall wedding.
Marissa and Jay’s upstate Catskills wedding photography experience was relaxed, fun, romantic and full of beautiful moments. Saugerties is an upstate NY town that has beautiful views of the Hudson River Valley. The beginning of fall is perfect time to schedule a small intimate elopement wedding up in Saugerties. We love shooting weddings up here on top of mountain overlooking the Hudson Valley! Our tip for your upstate New York elopement: get married early in the day before it gets too hot, or have an evening elopement when the sun is beginning to set.
The sun was shining on our bride and groom as they exchanged vows up in Saugerties. Marissa and Jay could not have chosen a more perfect day to get married upstate New York style! We loved capturing their upstate NY wedding with fun, candid, romantic wedding photography.
We love photographing upstate elopements like this one here! The couple were really up for having fun with the camera which allowed us to capture some creative images that are unique to them. But we also wanted to make sure we got classic shots because these two are incredibly photogenic. You can see how much in love they are after all these years.
After the ceremony finished up, we took couples photos around the property. The upstate New York fall foliage up here is beautiful and very photogenic! The light was awesome as we took photos up at this Saugerties elopement. After we finished up taking some classic shots around the property, it was time for the couple to relax and enjoy each others’ company up in the Hudson Valley. Watching these two interact with each other is what life’s all about. They signed their license, cut the cake, and spent their cozy evening celebrating.
This intimate upstate elopement wedding had all the right ingredients for a laid back and romantic day up in Saugerties, New York. This couple has been together over 20 years and wanted to have a relaxed upstate New York wedding on their property. We’re so honored Marissa and Jay chose us to capture their intimate upstate elopement style wedding up in beautiful Saugerties.
They chose us after searching for photographers who are casual and fun in New York. We took a trip up to the area that day and scoped out beautiful locations on the property. This place had trails through the fields, plus beautiful trees and willows. Jay also showed us a lovely stream through the back end of the property, making natural and stunning wedding photos in Saugerties.
You could even see some of the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley from the property. The couple also brought out a chair as a prop which made for perfect Upstate New York wedding photos. We loved this personal touch they added to the day. With Ritualisms as their officiant, they had an ultra-personal ceremony and exchanged tattoos instead of rings on their finger.
