Roundhouse Wedding : Don & Anthony : Beacon, NY

A summer wedding at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY.

I was fortunate to photograph FIVE weddings at The Roundhouse in The Hudson Valley this season. It’s been amazing to see this venue and its reach grow as a wide variety of couples come to Beacon and put their spin on this wonderful space.

On this particular occasion, Don & Anthony came up from NYC along with their family and friends for what was a sophisticated outdoor/indoor event on the Roundhouse terrace and loft. Flying solo that day, I photographed both of their prep before we united for a first look off the main hotel building. I always remark that the possibilities are endless on this property and you really feel that on an August afternoon mid-day. As the sun moves around it casts shadows and highlights various facades in ways that you don’t expect and is exciting to someone like me who visits the location many times over. While there are certainly some popular spots for photos, I always seem to find some new variation based on the conditions that afternoon.

Looking back over the photos of the day I’m reminded of just how many genuine expressions of joy there were to photograph. While wedding photography is certainly my job, its being able to document and preserve these types of moments that helps blur the line between work and pleasure while I’m on the clock.

Don & Anthony looked to the talents of Kraft & Co for decorating the space, After Party Band of Around Town Entertainment to keep the dance floor packed and my buddy Carrie of The Roundhouse who makes the event come together in a way that is effortless.
