Where timeless elegance meets modern romance
There’s something magical about Glenmere Mansion in Chester, NY. Tucked away in the Hudson Valley, this European-style estate feels worlds away from New York City, yet is only an hour from the heart of Manhattan. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe, and imagine your love story unfolding across grand gardens and sweeping terraces.
Our recent styled shoot at Glenmere Mansion was all about capturing that feeling—romance with a touch of grandeur. The setting, the florals, and the smallest design details worked together to create a vision of an intimate wedding that felt both editorial and deeply heartfelt.
🌸 Florals That Framed the Romance
The ceremony arch was the star of the show, covered in lush roses and soft greenery in a palette of peach, ivory, and muted mauves. It perfectly framed our couple and gave the images an old-world, storybook feel. Each flower choice felt intentional, complementing the natural beauty of Glenmere’s manicured grounds without overpowering it.
From a photographer and videographer perspective, we loved how the soft pops of color stood out against the clean, neutral tones of the property. It added just the right amount of vibrancy and movement, even in close-up frames.
✨ Thoughtful Details at Every Turn
No detail was overlooked—from the hand-lettered menus sealed with wax to the elegantly set tables on the covered terrace. The long banquet table, lined with romantic floral arrangements and glowing candles, looked as though it belonged in the courtyard of a Tuscan villa.
As documentarians, we love capturing these kinds of details because they tell your story as much as the big moments do. The menus, the place settings, the texture of the linens—all of these little touches add layers to your wedding day narrative.
🏛 A Venue Made for Timeless Weddings
Glenmere Mansion is the kind of venue where every corner is photogenic. The arched walkways, wrought-iron chandeliers, and peach-hued walls provide stunning backdrops for portraits and candids alike. Whether we were shooting a wide landscape of the terrace or a close-up of the couple tucked into a quiet corner, the space felt cinematic and intimate all at once.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels refined yet relaxed, Glenmere Mansion offers the perfect balance.
