Pricing & Packages
Hudson Valley Wedding Photography Pricing and Packages
Your wedding photography should feel clear, intentional, and aligned with what matters most to you. My pricing and packages are designed to be straightforward while giving you the flexibility to choose the level of coverage that fits your day. Every collection is built around capturing real moments as they unfold, with a focus on candid, documentary-style imagery and a seamless experience from start to finish.
Wedding photography is also an investment in how your day is remembered. Long after the timeline is over and the details have faded, your photos are what bring everything back. Not just how it looked, but how it felt, who was there, and the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. Investing in the right photographer means trusting someone to document your day with intention, consistency, and care, so you have a complete story to come back to for years to come.
Based in Poughkeepsie and serving the Hudson Valley, Westchester, Catskills, and beyond, I offer thoughtfully structured packages that prioritize storytelling, consistency, and a process that feels natural from the first conversation through final gallery delivery.

This package offers eight hours of coverage, capturing all the significant moments along with highlights from your getting-ready preparations and the lively moves on the dance floor during the reception. It’s designed to tell a full and vibrant story of your day. It’s especially well-suited for weddings where everything from getting ready to the ceremony and the reception all take place in the same location.

Your comprehensive go-to package for full-day wedding coverage, from the details to getting ready to the dance floor.

This package delivers a complete and seamless story of your wedding day from start to finish, all while giving you a more relaxed timeline so the day flows naturally without feeling rushed. The extra time also proves invaluable if you’re getting ready in different locations, or if parts of your day, like the ceremony, take place offsite.

For couples who want nothing left to chance and every detail captured, this is the ultimate package. With 10 hours of full-day coverage and a second photographer by my side for 8 of those hours, your wedding will be captured in its entirety, from every angle. More time means less rushing, less stress, and a more relaxed timeline that allows you to be fully present while still knowing everything is being documented.
Here’s what sets it apart:
Seamless Dual Coverage:
While I’m with you, my second photographer can be with your partner, ensuring both stories unfold in parallel without compromise, especially if getting ready in different locations.
Two Perspectives, One Story
Together we capture the big picture and the intimate details, the sweeping moments and the subtle reactions.
Depth and Dimension
From getting ready to the last song of the night, you’ll relive your wedding through a layered, cinematic collection of images.
Efficiency Without Sacrifice
With two photographers, portraits and group photos move quickly, giving you more time to enjoy your day while still covering every must-have.
Time to Breathe
A full 10 hours of coverage gives you space in the schedule, no need to cram portraits, first looks, or family photos into a rushed block. A relaxed timeline means you can savor the celebration without feeling like the day is a photoshoot.
This is the most comprehensive way to preserve your wedding — a complete, multi-perspective narrative designed to honor every moment.

Kind Words
"Richard is simply the best! From our very first initial wedding call through the big day, he was absolutely fantastic. He arrived while we were getting ready and instantly made us feel comfortable. Richard struck the perfect balance of professional and fun—he blended right in with our quirky, crazy crew and truly felt like part of the day.
I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. All of my family and friends adored him too—he’s an absolute 10/10 rockstar. To top it off, he delivered a full batch of preview photos just two days later, and they are absolutely stunning. He had such a gift for capturing the true essence of who we are. Words can’t express how grateful I am that he was our photographer.
Don’t hesitate—just book him. You won’t regret it!"
