A PROPOSAL
by 2nd Story Studio
Charlotte + Chris
Troutbeck | October 2, 2027
 
 
An Early Fall Wedding at Troutbeck
A very New England (very sailing-coded) beginning brings us to the Hudson Valley. A chic celebration blended with a little bit of adult summer camp ; - ) Everyone staying on property, settling in, and creating memories as they send you into this next chapter.
The wedding day, photographed from the quiet beginning through the very end of the party. Getting ready with your closest friends. The little things happening in every corner. Family photographs you'll keep forever. Proper portraits of the two of you. And, once everyone hits the dance floor, glamorous flash photography to frame the party + chaos — and that inevitable transition from buttoned-up to partying late.
The lived-in moments, the funny ones, and everything in between. Documentary style coverage captured on medium format, 35mm, and digital woven together throughout. Photographs that feel fun, emotionally observant, and completely yours.
All your people celebrating Charlotte + Chris 4ever <3
digital + analog photography
In the months leading up, we'll get to know each other through creative calls, questionnaires, shared mood boards + plenty of back-and-forth about what you're dreaming up. By the time we get to Troutbeck, we'll know your people, your priorities, the photographs you care about + all the little ideas we've cooked up together — so you two can actually be at your wedding instead of thinking about the photography.
