Dutchess County
Hyde Park Wedding Photographer
Documentary wedding photography in Hyde Park, NY by Marlon Ramos. Based in Newburgh, hundreds of weddings photographed, bilingual in English and Spanish.
Hyde Park is unusually rich for a town its size. The Vanderbilt Mansion grounds look out over the river with lawns that go on forever, the FDR estate is down the road, and the Culinary Institute means the food at a Hyde Park wedding is usually a level above.
The estate grounds photograph beautifully but they are large, and getting the most out of them takes knowing where to go and when. I shoot Dutchess County regularly out of Newburgh and I plan portrait time around where the light will actually be, not where the map says the pretty part is.

Common questions
What is your Hudson Valley wedding photography style?
I shoot in a documentary style. I look for the smaller moments that make up the whole of a story, with a touch of elegance through simplicity. I blend in for most of the day, but I'm not afraid to take the lead when something needs to be staged or moved along.
How much does a Hudson Valley wedding photographer cost?
My wedding packages start at $4,500 for 6 hours of documentary coverage and go up to $7,500 for a full 10 hour day with an engagement session included. Pricing varies based on coverage hours, second photographer, videography add ons, and album options. See the full breakdown on the investment page.
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 9 to 12 months in advance for peak Hudson Valley wedding season (May through October). I take a limited number of weddings per year so I can give every couple full attention. Reach out as soon as you have a date in mind.
Do you offer bilingual wedding photography?
Yes. Soy fotógrafo de bodas bilingüe en el Hudson Valley. I work fluently in English and Spanish, which I find especially helpful for multicultural and multilingual wedding parties across Newburgh, the Catskills, and the Tri State region.
How much of a deposit do you require?
There is a nonrefundable 25% deposit at the time of booking. Full payment is due a month before the wedding. If you cancel within 30 days of the wedding, you will get a 50% refund.
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes, I am fully insured. I can provide a certificate of insurance directly to your venue if they request one.
How long after the wedding will we receive the images?
You will get a sneak peek within 48 hours of the wedding. Full delivery is 2 to 4 weeks because I don't like waiting, and I don't like making you wait. The photos arrive through a private online gallery as high resolution files, edited in my signature style.
Can I customize a package to fit my needs?
Yes. Once we hop on a first call or Zoom, we can dive deep and customize a package around your day.
