Roundhouse Wedding : Bobby & nathan : Beacon, NY

There’s a particular kind of quiet beauty to December at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY. The trees outside the massive windows are bare and graphic against the sky. The light turns blue early. Inside, wood beams glow warm overhead and everything feels intimate in a way that only winter can create.

Bobby & Nathan’s wedding was the final celebration of my 2025 season, and it felt like the perfect ending.

They chose to get ready together in one of the Roundhouse suites, and I loved that choice immediately. There was no artificial separation, no big staged reveal — just the two of them adjusting bowties, laughing, checking cufflinks, moving through the morning side by side. The energy was calm but excited, grounded but joyful. Their tuxedos from Indochino were classic and sharp — velvet jackets, satin lapels, clean tailoring — exactly right for a winter evening in Beacon.

The design of the day leaned winter without ever feeling Christmas. Evergreen installations wrapped the staircase. The ceremony backdrop was lush with pine, white florals, and layered texture — sculptural but soft. Florals by Flora Good Times felt organic and seasonal in the most refined way. The boutonnieres were delicate and thoughtful — creamy blooms with subtle green tones that stood out beautifully against black velvet.

Lighting by LNJ Events transformed the reception space as the sun went down. The exposed beams, string lights, and brick walls took on this golden warmth, while outside the windows the Hudson Valley slipped into a cool blue dusk. That contrast — warm interior, cold exterior — is one of the reasons winter is one of my favorite seasons to shoot at The Roundhouse.

We made portraits inside at the bar and lobby, where the architecture frames everything so cleanly. Then we stepped outside briefly — just long enough to catch that crisp air and get a few street and terrace portraits. You can see it in their posture, the way they naturally lean into each other when it’s cold. It adds something real. Then it’s back inside where cocktails are flowing and guests are glowing.

The ceremony was warm, humorous, and emotional all at once. Officiated by One Hearts Ceremonies, it struck that perfect balance — personal stories that made everyone laugh, followed by quiet, meaningful moments that pulled the room in. At one point, both of them were laughing mid-vow while guests wiped away tears. It felt human. Unscripted. Completely them.

The reception room looked incredible — round tables set beneath string lights, greenery framing the windows, candlelight flickering across the floor. And then the energy shifted.

The dance floor was lit. Truly. Matty Stuart and the band absolutely brought it. From the first song, the room was packed. Jackets came off. Bowties loosened. Guests surrounded them, singing, pointing, hyping them up. At one point they popped champagne with pure theatrical drama — hands up, laughter, spray catching the light — and the whole room erupted.

Their guests were fun in that effortless way — fully present, fully celebrating. It made photographing the night feel electric.

Ending 2025 with Bobby & Nathan at The Roundhouse felt right. Evergreen wrapped the staircase. Candlelight flickered against brick. Outside it was cold and quiet; inside it was warm, loud, and full of joy. I genuinely loved shooting this one.

Winter in Beacon never disappoints.

Fall Roundhouse Wedding : Kiera & Stephen : Beacon, NY

It’s hard enough to get a date at The Roundhouse - but at peak foliage? That takes some serious planning ahead. Kiera & Stephen’s Autumn wedding at The Roundhouse was a beautiful afternoon surrounded by the rich color of the season. October at The Roundhouse is like stepping straight into a Pinterest board, except it’s real life. For this couple, the timing couldn’t have been better. Fall foliage was at its peak, and the golden hues served as nature’s best accessory to the day’s events.

The day began in one of The Roundhouse’s recently renovated suites. Rich wood tones, moody lighting, and minimalist design made it the perfect backdrop for those pre-ceremony moments. There was this calming energy in the suite, as the bride slipped into her gown and shared a quiet toast with her bridal party—proof that beautiful lighting isn’t just for photos; it also sets the perfect getting-ready vibe.

With a clear, crisp autumn day came some early afternoon direct light that was impossible to ignore. We took the couple into the street, where dynamic, angular light scraped across the building’s façade, creating bold shadows and highlights. The bride’s red shoes? Absolutely owned the moment, popping in every frame. The outdoor ceremony kept the vibes intimate, with the golden-hour sun filtering through the surrounding trees. When it came time for the kiss, the best man and maid of honor ensured it wasn’t just celebrated—it was champagne-showered.

As dusk crept in, guests were guided indoors for the reception, where the one and only Matty Stuart set the mood. The industrial chic interior of The Roundhouse was all class, contrasting beautifully with the warm, emotional energy of the day. Between clinking glasses, laughter spilling from banquet tables, and the rhythm of a packed dance floor, the evening was everything a Roundhouse wedding should be.

Anna & Zach held their wedding at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY up in the Hudson Valley this past Spring.

Writing this in July, it feels as though I photographed this wedding a few weeks ago. It’s crazy how quickly the year flies by! The Roundhouse was in in top form looking beautiful just as the first signs of Spring were emerging. Anna & Zach adorned the space with bright yellow forsythia which was striking against the rustic, industrial vibe of The Roundhouse.

Wedding at the Roundhouse Beacon Falls : Veronica and Louis : Beacon, NY

Veronica and Louis were married on July 9^th, with a ceremony and reception at Roundhouse Beacon Falls. Veronica was actually the sister of one of my old brides—Jennifer, who was married back in 2011 at Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown, NY. It was an honor to be asked to photograph their family again, not to mention a joy to see Jennifer and Korey again, with not just one by two kids in tow! Watching couples expand from a family of two to three or more is one of the best parts of the job.

I was also excited about shooting at the Roundhouse, since I’ve wanted to visit it for years. I love the little town of Beacon, tucked about an hour up the Hudson River Valley from Manhattan, not to mention the venue itself. The ballroom has been made to feel rustic and industrial despite being a modern construction, and the bridal suite is stunning, with a large patio overlooking the waterfall just out front.

On the day of the wedding, Veronica got ready at the bridal suite with her young nieces. I loved how curious they were about the whole thing, and I’m sure they’ll remember looking on in awe as their aunt got ready! Veronica and Louis had opted not to have a first look as they wanted to preserve that moment of walking down the aisle. But that didn't mean Veronica wouldn't have a moment with her father as he came outside to see her all dressed up for the first time. That was my favorite image of the day, especially because you could see Veronica’s reflection in the window so that you can see both of their expressions.

The weather called for rain, so the ceremony was held inside in front of the expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows that pulled the outside in. As the sun came down, guests made their way outside for cocktail hour, and by the time they re-entered the ballroom, it was transformed for dinner!

The greatest thing about documenting this particular wedding was seeing the close family bonds that they share. There were so many grandparents as well as deep, loving relationships between parents and their children, and it was touching to witness.

Louis & Veronica, thank you for honoring me by letting me be part of your celebrations. And thank you to the Delahoz family for inviting me to photograph another family wedding.
