Steven Parker’s Hudson Valley Film Wedding Photographer – 35mm, 120, Holga & Medium Format

I direct with purpose and observe with patience: sculpting light while allowing emotion to remain unguarded. I fix small details but never interrupt what’s real. The result is images that are editorial in sensibility, documentary in truth, intimate in spirit, and alive with emotion. There’s an elegant tension between fine art and documentary — a balance of carefully composed portraiture and spontaneous, unscripted moments with an ability to distill the essence of weddings into images that are both intimate and enduring.

I am a published, award-winning photographer operating a portrait studio in the beautiful Hudson Valley, located in between Westchester and the Catskill Mountains, along the shores of the scenic Hudson River. I have been inside the White House, photographed presidential candidates, celebrity rock bands and the dentist down the street. I have photographed more than 700 weddings in my career.
