Curry Estate - Hudson Valley Wedding Venue

Curry Estate is a beautiful wedding venue in Hopewell Junction. The Hudson Valley offers so much in terms of scenery, and Curry Estate encapsulates all of it. With beautiful scenery everywhere, the centerpiece a 19th century mansion. It was the perfect location for Katie and Jake.

Preparation

Katie and Jake had a beautiful October wedding day. With beautiful fall foliage everywhere, I don’t think the day could be more perfect.

After we stopped in to see Jake, we checked in with Katie and met her bridal party. Katie is so lucky to have such a fun group of friends and family.

Bridal Party

Katie and Jake did not want to see each other before the ceremony, so we made sure the portraits were done so the bride and the groom weren’t close to each other. Even on such a big property, that required a little planning.

Both sides of the bridal party were relaxed, fun, and calm. They were focused on the couple, and the atmosphere couldn’t have been more perfect. No one was rushed, and everyone was enjoying themselves.

Ceremony

The outdoor ceremony took place under a beautiful archway created by Three Roots Floral Designs. Their pastor was their officiant, and it really made for a touching service. Under the fall foliage and surrounded by loved ones, the pastor spoke of them, and then Katie and Jake shared the vows they wrote for each other.

Wedding Portraits

While the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, Katie and Jake were able to walk around the property to take some images. It was the first time they were alone. One of the things I love about the wedding day is that I get to be with the couple throughout their experience. Having had an opportunity to get to know them and hear about their wedding plans, it is really inspiring to see their dreams culminate in a perfect day. Having the opportunity to be alone with them as they get to soak in their first moments as a married couple is something that I don’t take for granted.

Reception

I knew the bridal party was fun, but I was so happy to see the guests just as ready for the party. In the beautiful ballroom of Curry Estate, Katie and Jake had an enjoyable and lively reception.

Katie and Jake really embody the notion as the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Individually, they are great people, and together, they are even better. Working with them over the past year has been such a wonderful experience for me, and I am grateful to have had a small part in their wedding.
