A Romantic Fall Proposal at Inness, Hudson Valley

This fall proposal at Inness was one of those moments that perfectly captures why I love being a Hudson Valley wedding photographer. Inness, with its sweeping mountain views and cozy autumn light, set the scene for the sweetest surprise proposal. The air was crisp, the leaves were golden, and everything about the evening felt effortless and intimate. It reminded me of how magical the Hudson Valley is in the fall.

The proposal took place just before the sun began to dip behind the Catskills, casting that signature golden glow across the Inness property. The couple had spent the weekend exploring the Hudson Valley, and this evening felt like the perfect ending to their getaway. I hid away on a quiet path before he got down on one knee on the deck of their cabin, looking out at the view. A moment filled with surprise, laughter, and pure joy! We then ventured around the property for photos, stopping at the overlook that looks out to the Catskill Mountains.

Inness is one of those Hudson Valley venues that feels effortlessly timeless with a mix of modern design, rustic charm, and panoramic views that shift with the seasons. In the fall, the property transforms into a warm palette of golds and deep oranges, with the Catskill Mountains framing every view. Between the open fields, cozy cabins, and minimalist interiors, it’s easy to see why couples fall in love with the idea of celebrating or proposing here. Whether it’s an intimate engagement, an elopement, or a full wedding weekend, Inness captures everything that makes the Hudson Valley so special.

Every couple brings their own energy to this space. From quiet, intimate proposals to vibrant wedding weekends surrounded by family and friends.
