Goosefeather Restaurant Wedding - Hudson Valley, NY - Eliot & Nick

When a couple elopes with just the closest of family (SEE IT HERE), there can often be a powerful itch to celebrate afterwards in a bigger, more playful fashion! A romantic restaurant wedding with cherished chosen family eagerly toasting the newlyweds can be incredibly meaningful. That was the premise of Eliot & Nick’s elegant post-nuptial dinner party at the charming and eclectic GOOSEFEATHER RESTAURANT at Tarrytown House Estate. This venue, while both intimate and comfortable for table conversation, also offers an enticing destination as an untraditional wedding venue with unique dining options.

Rockefeller State Park Elopement - Hudson, Valley - Eliot & Nick

If a dream-like spring escape in nature is your idea of the perfect wedding, prepare to be inspired by the upstate elopement of Eliot and Nick. When they first reached out to me about their shared vision of an outdoor wedding ceremony in an vast open field, I immediately thought it was suited for the iconic ROCKELFELLER STATE PARK PRESERVE, a location I’ve been lucky to photograph couples in love several times over the years. Just under an hour from New York City, in the eastern foothills of the Hudson River in Westchester County, this sprawling state park offers expansive wooded hiking trails, beautiful beaches and scenic picnic areas. After scouting the location together, the couple found their favorite spot for their intimate ceremony under a giant mother tree. There they could finally picture their future wedding together and begin to plan what I consider to be one of the most meaningful and intentional occasions I have ever photographed.
