As New York Wedding Photographers with studios in both the Hudson Valley ( Nyack NY) and New York City (Chelsea) we're always close to the Hudson River. We LOVE it when couples chose a venue near The Hudson for their Wedding ! It adds a beautiful, shimmering, unique element to the photos and gives the whole affair a unique, Destination Wedding feel for guests.
We've shot in some really fabulous locations over the years, up and down the river, ...so we wanted to share our TOP 5 Favorite River View Locations for your Hudson River Wedding celebrations.
So here we go, in no particular order, complete with links to the properties and favorite weddings we shot there.....
#1 Sleepy Hollow Country Club
The Sleepy Hollow Country Club began life in 1892 as a Vanderbilt Mansion owned by Colonel Elliot Fitch Shephard, the owner of the Mail and Express newspaper and founder of the New York Bar Association. The mansion was purchased in 1910 by Frank Vanderlip and William Rockefeller, and in 1911, Sleepy Hollow Country Club was founded by a board of directors, which included John Jacob Astor IV, Cornelius Vanderbilt III, Edward Julius Berwind, and others.
It's location high above The Hudson has some of the best views imaginable !
