Hudson Valley Elopement Photography
Documentary elopement photography across the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, and the Tri State region. I'm Marlon Ramos, based in Newburgh, NY, photographing elopements at Minnewaska, Stonegate Farm, and beyond, with hundreds of weddings shot and the reviews to back it.
An elopement, told quietly
Imagine standing in front of a handful of the people you love most, with your favorite song playing, about to walk toward your partner. Your father catches your eye. Your mother is crying. Those are the moments I'm there to catch.
Elopements aren't smaller versions of weddings. They're a different shape entirely. Quieter. More focused. The only thing that scales down is the guest list.
My job is to give you photographs that remember exactly how the day felt, not just how it looked. Years from now, that's the difference.

- High resolution files

Common Questions
Documentary elopement photography is unposed coverage of your day. I let the day unfold and photograph what actually happens. The looks, the laughs, the quiet pauses. I'll guide a few key moments (your portraits together, family groupings if you have them) but most of the day, you forget I'm there.
My elopement packages start at ~$2,500 for up to 4 hours of documentary coverage, sneak peeks within 48 hours, and a full gallery within 2 weeks. See the investment page for the full breakdown.
Some of my favorite Hudson Valley and Catskills elopement locations are Minnewaska State Park Preserve in New Paltz, Stonegate Farm, Gather Greene in the Catskills, and the trails around Beacon and Cold Spring. I also travel for elopements, so if you have a dream location, let's talk.
