Hudson Valley Engagement & Proposal Photography Pricing


If you're planning a surprise proposal or an engagement session in the Hudson Valley, the photographer you choose shapes how the whole thing feels. I'm Richard Krutick, a Hudson Valley engagement photographer based in Poughkeepsie, NY. I work with couples across the Hudson Valley, Westchester, the Catskills, Connecticut, and New York City.


My approach is documentary: I'm interested in how you two actually interact, not in directing you into poses that don't feel like you. The result is engagement and proposal photography that looks relaxed because it was.


Below you'll find pricing, coverage details, location ideas, and a straightforward look at what it's like to work together.

Engagements & proposals

1 - 1.5 hrs


My engagement and proposal photography packages are designed for couples who want natural, candid photos that feel personal and relaxed while still receiving guidance throughout the process. Most engagement sessions and surprise proposals in the Hudson Valley last between 1 and 1.5 hours, giving us enough time to explore multiple areas of a location, work with changing light, and create a strong mix of candid moments, natural portraits, and environmental images that truly reflect the two of you. Whether you're planning a proposal in the Catskills, an engagement session along the Hudson River, or photos at one of the Hudson Valley’s historic estates or mountain locations, I’ll help you choose the right setting, plan timing and logistics, and make the experience feel easy from start to finish. After your session, you’ll receive a professionally edited online gallery that can be downloaded, shared with family and friends, and used for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and prints.
