Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer in Poughkeepsie, NY


Richard Krutick is a Hudson Valley wedding photographer based in Poughkeepsie, NY, offering candid, documentary wedding photography for couples across the Catskills, Westchester, Connecticut, and the NYC metro area.


Thoughtful, candid wedding photography for couples who want their wedding day to feel natural, connected, and fully lived in.


I'm Richard Krutick, a Hudson Valley wedding photographer based in Poughkeepsie, NY, documenting weddings across the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Westchester, Connecticut, and the New York City metro area. My approach is calm, unobtrusive, and rooted in real moments as they naturally unfold. No stiff posing, no over-directing, and no pressure to perform for the camera.


Working together feels easy and steady. I pay attention to energy, timing, and the people around you so the day can move naturally while still creating space for honest, emotional photographs. When guidance is needed, I keep it simple and relaxed so nothing feels forced or disconnected from the moment itself.

The result is documentary-style wedding photography that feels personal, emotionally grounded, and true to the experience of the day. The big moments matter, but so do the in-between reactions, the atmosphere, and the small details that become more meaningful over time.


I photograph weddings, engagement sessions, elopements, and intimate celebrations throughout the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Westchester, Connecticut, and beyond.
