A Love-Filled Day on the Hudson
Some weddings feel like pure joy from the very first moment — Kerri & Matt’s celebration at Arrow Park Lake and Lodge was exactly that. From their first look by the lakefront to the last song on the dance floor, these two were all smiles, surrounded by a warm, happy group of friends and family. As their wedding videographer, it was a dream to capture.
Getting Ready in the Historic Mansion
The day began inside Arrow Park’s charming mansion, where the couple and their wedding party got ready. Light blue bridesmaid dresses popped beautifully against the venue’s warm, historic interiors. The vibe was calm, but full of excitement — the perfect start for a storybook day.
A Private First Look by the Mansion & lakefront Portraits
Kerri & Matt shared a sweet, emotional first look right outside Arrow Park’s historic mansion. The grand stone exterior and leafy surroundings created a timeless backdrop as they saw each other for the first time. Their faces lit up with pure happiness — a perfect mix of excitement and calm before the big celebration.
Afterward, we explored Arrow Park’s stunning property for portraits:
Lakefront shots with the water sparkling behind them, soft and romantic.
A tree-lined path leading into the grounds, where towering trees naturally framed the couple for cinematic, editorial-feeling images.
These backdrops gave us an incredible variety — from elegant and timeless to whimsical and woodsy — all while staying right on the Arrow Park property.
Outdoor Ceremony with Cinematic Multi-Camera Coverage
The ceremony took place outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and sweeping views of the lake. We filmed with five cameras and a drone, creating a cinematic experience that lets you see every angle — the couple’s emotions, the guests’ reactions, the full grandeur of the setting. This wedding became our benchmark for ceremony coverage: beautifully balanced storytelling with stunning visuals.
