Hudson Valley Proposals

So you've bought the ring and you're hiding it, nervously hoping that it's not found before you plan the perfect day. You know you want your proposal to be more than just asking the question—you want it to be an experience that the two of you will remember forever, and you need a photographer to document all of that for you. You're in the right place!

Feel free to scroll through the joyful images below to see work from proposals that I have documented in scenic places like Storm King Art Center, Cold Spring, and the Bird and Bottle Inn. What's not seen is all of the coordination and organization that I provide behind the scenes to create this perfect day...contact me today if you're ready to start planning your proposal!

Couple embraces lovingly in a garden with vibrant yellow flowers and greenery in the background.

"He has a background in nature photography and the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley is really pronounced in our photos."

Highly recommend hiring Matt! He went to the proposal location ahead of time to scope it out, take photos, and determine the best precise spot based on background and lighting. He truly went above and beyond... He was a consummate professional from the jump and I am so glad he was recommended to us!
