The Grandview Wedding in Poughkeepsie, NY | Caroline & Peter
A WEDDING AT THE GRANDVIEW
Caroline and Peter planned an elegant summer wedding at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, New York. It was probably our hottest wedding day of the season, but nothing was going to steal the smile of the faces of these two sweethearts! With a wedding color palette featuring soft whites and blush, and pale oranges, I was in absolute photographer heaven!
The Grandview is nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley and boasts stunning views of the Hudson River. If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you know how much Arturo and I enjoy photographing waterfront weddings, so The Grandview did not disappoint! There were endless locations for portraits near the water with the Mid-Hudson Bridge standing tall in the background.
Peter and Caroline chose to share their first look on along the Hudson River, and we just loved capturing their reactions! Caroline had a classic bridal style with just a touch of glam. Her gown was absolutely stunning, with intricate detailing on the back and her off-the-shoulder sleeves! Peter also had a classic style and looked sharp in his tuxedo. There’s something to be said about a timeless groom style as well!
After finishing photos of the bride and groom, we moved onto photographing wedding party and family portraits before heading back up the hill for the ceremony. Instead of inviting their entire guest list to the ceremony, Peter and Caroline decided to keep things intimate for this part of the day. Only immediate family and the members of their wedding party were invited, and it was absolutely beautiful! Arturo and I enjoyed seeing our couples break tradition and instead do what they wanted on their wedding day.
However, the new Mr. & Mrs. did want extended family, friends, and loved ones to celebrate their nuptials with them, so they threw a wonderful party where everyone sang and danced the night away. Peter and Caroline’s wedding kicked off a triple-header weekend for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better couple to do so!
Congratulations Caroline & Peter! Wishing you much love and laughter in the years ahead!
Peter and Caroline chose to do their first look just past the marina along the waterfront of the Hudson River. It was a spectacular location for portraits!
It may have been our hottest wedding day of the year, but nothing was going to take the smiles off of Caroline and Peter’s faces!
