Wedding photography in the Hudson Valley and New York City

We hired Nell because her galleries were full of people doing normal things, and ours is the same. She and Sam were there for eight hours and I noticed them maybe three times. The full gallery came five and a half weeks later: 812 photographs, and my mother has seen every one of them twice.

On our first call Nell told us winter light meant doing portraits before the ceremony. We weren’t sure about it. She was right, and the candlelit photos after dark are the ones on our walls.

She hiked two miles in the dark with two cameras and a spare headlamp for our officiant.

Nell answered every email within a day for eleven months, including the one where I sent her a 31-person family photo list.

The sneak peek came a day after the 72 hours we were promised, and Nell emailed the night before to say why. That is the only complaint I can come up with.

The Sunday coffee hour on the dock was Nell’s idea. It’s my favorite part of the whole gallery.
