Hudson River Photographer

Diane shot our wedding and was an absolute joy, and frankly, one of our favorite wedding memories. Both my wife and I were shy in front of the camera, but were put at ease by Diane’s playful and fun manner. She is a great person to have around during the stress of a wedding: flitting in and out amidst the chaos, getting what she needs without getting in anyone’s way and bringing her usual charm. All of this is to describe how much we liked Diane as a person, and doesn’t at all cover how great of a photog she is. I think her work speaks for itself, but to say it explicitly, we were amazed by how much we like our photos. Two other notes: 1. we opted for engagement photos after much deliberation, and found it to be a great way to get to know Diane before the big day and to get comfortable in front of the camera, and 2. Diane’s assistant was just as likable and professional.

I knew from the moment I viewed Diane's website that I had to have her. Her ability to capture moments and in such an organized, meticulous way was irresistible. Working with her was simply fantastic, she is calming but also assertive and full of energy that is really needed from any vendor at a wedding. She really took special care in her work. I love love love all of my photos, gorgeous!!! Thank you Diane for making my wedding memorable & beautiful!!

Diane is great, she provided us with an engagement shoot that really helped us prepare and be comfortable with our wedding shots. The wedding was a crazy, hectic day and Diane still went around and did her thing. She even stayed later and took more pictures. We havent seen the final product yet but I am sure it willall turn out great based on the sneak peek on her blog. Thanks so much Diane!And please convey our appreciation to Alan as well!!

Overall I was very satisfied with selecting Diane as my photographer for my wedding. My husband and I set up a meeting with Diane prior to our wedding to go over all the details for our big day. She was very easy to talk to, professional, energetic and flexible. The beautiful pictures from our wedding show how great of a photographer Diane really is. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Diane. : )

I would highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Diane's professionalism, energy, and relaxed attitude made her a pleasure to work with! I absolutely knew from the start that we were in very good hands with Diane! She took the time to get to know us, find out what we were looking for, and then took us through her plan/vision for our day. Simple as that! She was easy to communicate with, open to our ideas, and very capable. I mentioned to Diane that I would like a group shot of all of our guests and wedding party, and there she was on her ladder--taking the most beautiful photo of everyone on our wedding day! The photos she took of us on our wedding day are absolutely gorgeous. She was able to capture all of the subtle moments of our wedding that I would have never seen. I've looked at many wedding photos of friends and have never seen any that capture all of the little moments that make up what a wedding is truly about. All of our friends and family were blown away by our photos and we couldn't be happier with them!

Amidst all the vendors we were trying to coordinate, our meeting with Diane was a pleasure and kick started our wedding excitement. It was great to work with someone so organized, who asked all the right questions yet was completely relaxed. My husband and I live in the city so our communication with Diane was almost entirely over email and yet nothing was lost in translation. I am glad we went with Diane's suggestion of a combination of candids and formals. Our photographs are stunning and the formals are a big hit with family! We even wanted to fly Diane out to India with us to photograph our ceremony in Mumbai!! Most importantly we danced the night away, we have pictures that make us look like we were in a beautiful movie and we never even realized we were being photographed

I found Diane through a online search and just loved her creative/artistic photography style. Most of our communication was through email. We meet her once before our wedding. She asked us questions regarding our day to get a sense of who we are and what we wanted for our wedding pictures. My husband and I immediately felt comfortable with Diane. She took the traditional family and group portraits, while also taking many fantastic, spontaneous, quirky and fun shots that truly captured our day. Diane did whatever it took to get a the right shots including laying on the ground or getting on a ladder!And Wow! I love our wedding pictures! Diane is professional, thoughtful and has a relaxed approach. She is a great artist and a true find. We highly recommend her.

Diane was a wonderful photographer, we could not have asked for anyone better to have documented our wedding. She has an energy about her and brings it into all aspects of her work. She went out of her way to take the time to get to know us so that she could tailor her work to our personalities and needs. Diane was very easy to communicate with, asked great questions and really listened to our responses, she worked with us to provide excellent photographs of our wedding combining our desires with her experience, imagination, and more than considerable skill. She as well never grew tired of answering our questions which was great. She worked tirelessly on our wedding day to get every shot we wanted and many we had realized we should have wanted. We have a tremendous amount of fantastic pictures! She is also very flexible and responsive, we wanted a mix of photo journalistic and traditional shots and she was able to produce a large variety of both types of images. The quality and craft of her work are exceptional. I enjoyed working with Diane and have recommended her highly to friends who are getting married.

Diane was a joy to work with at our wedding! Her pictures are incredible, we couldn't have asked for more beautiful, expressive, intimate and artistic photographs to remember our special day by! She was super flexible too, incorporating a wide variety of shots, ranging from portraits and group/family photos to spontaneous ones where we didn't even know she was taking the picture! She does a really great job of being subtle and unobtrusive while photographing. Diane is thorough and professional with her work and yet she is sweet, creative and, to be honest, really fun to have at the wedding! I have been recommending her to anyone who is engaged and looking for a photographer with a personality and artistic flair!

Diane was such a find! I planned my New York wedding from Indiana where my husband and I currently live. We communicated mostly by email, and she understood exactly what we wanted. She was on board with the theme and style of the wedding from the very beginning, and was especially excited about my idea of taking photographs at a local carousel. I knew at the time she was taking some amazing shots, but when we received the DVD of all of our photographs we were blown away. The results far exceeded our expectations.

Hudson River Photography is very easy to work with. Great photos! The work is very trendy and my brides love it. I would work with them anytime.

Diane is friendly, creative and an amazing photographer. Her images are as intimate, fun and unique as the couples she photographs. On the day of the wedding she captures the moments as they happen without trying to force them. Working with Diane is a pleasure!
