No joke – if I were to get married again, I would book my Hudson Valley Wedding at this venue. Windham Manor is such a beautiful venue space in Windham, New York. There is a bridal house (not a bridal suite, a full-on bridal house!) on site, so that no one in the wedding party has to drive day-of. The owners of the venue truly care about each couple and had a photographer’s eye in mind when planning out this venue – it’s absolutely breathtaking! The ceremony in the woods space is my absolute favorite ceremony space I’ve seen in the area. I had the privilege of photographing at this wedding venue this past summer and can’t wait to share some photos from a real wedding there!
But first of, let’s talk about some specifics:
If you’re looking for REAL wedding photos at this Hudson Valley Venue, this is the blog post for you! When Madison and Nick reached out, I was OVER THE MOON about the idea of working with them. They are such a fun couple, down-to-earth, and I could tell that they just wanted to be present on their wedding day and celebrate with their family and friends. My kind of couple!
Throughout the wedding day, both Madison and Nick were so relaxed and overjoyed to be with their friends and family. It got a little hot during the family photo portion of the day, so we took a quick break for water and ended up taking those photos out on an overhang so that they still got family photos with great light, without the sweat 🙂
It truly was the best wedding day to photograph!
Madison and Nick got married in the heart of the summer, which meant that we had so much time for light outside to take pictures! Because of that, they opted for a 4pm ceremony time, which gave them plenty of light for cocktail hour and let them eat dinner before heading out for a few sunset pictures!
Here’s an example of what a reception timeline could look like based on a summer ceremony at Windham Manor:
4:00 PM: Ceremony
4:30 PM – 5:30 PM: Cocktail Hour
5:40 PM: Grand Entrance, First Dance, Parent Dances, Speeches
6:30 PM: Dinner Service
7:30 PM: Sunset Photos
8:13 PM: Sun Sets
“Thank you so much for sending over our final album, we are absolutely blown away! The photos are stunning! From start to finish, you made the entire process so easy for us. Your professionalism, creativity and kindness really shone through, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll cherish these memories forever, thanks to your amazing work!” – Madison + Nick
