Stonewall Estate Wedding

Meaghan and Austin’s October 4, 2025 celebration at the Stonewall Estate wedding venue in Delancey, New York was the kind of Catskills wedding that feels peaceful, warm and relaxed from the second you arrive. Meaghan and Austin met online, which they laugh about now as their modern love story. Austin proposed in April 2024 on a hike at Kaaterskill Falls. Being surrounded by nature has always been part of who they are, so choosing the Stonewall Estate wedding venue felt natural. The views were a big reason. The barn sealed the deal.

The morning started with getting ready on site, which is one of the best parts of this barn wedding venue in the Catskills. Everything happens in one place. No rushing around. Meaghan wore a stunning gown from Alexandra’s Bridal Boutique with a veil by Blanca Veils. The bridesmaids wore moss green dresses in the same fabric but different styles. The groomsmen kept it classic in black suits. There were three first looks. One with her bridesmaids. One with her dad, which Meaghan said was one of the most emotional moments of the day for her. And then with Austin. We went right into portraits before guests arrived, which gave them time to just be together.

Their outdoor ceremony with mountain views was simple and personal. Two of their aunts did readings. The backdrop at this mountain view wedding venue in New York really does most of the work. Cocktail hour flowed into the barn reception. This Catskills barn wedding venue has such a natural warmth to it. They made their grand entrance straight into their first dance, followed by parent dances and heartfelt speeches. By the time dinner wrapped, the dance floor was packed. Meaghan later told me that being on the dance floor all night with friends and family was one of her favorite memories.

As their Stonewall Estate wedding photographer, what meant the most to me was hearing why they chose to work with us. They loved the natural edits and true to color look in our Stonewall Estate wedding photos. But more than that, they valued communication and feeling comfortable. When couple received their gallery and film, Meaghan left us the sweetest review:

“We hired Alina and her husband as our photography/videography team for our wedding, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Their communication was always clear, prompt, and thoughtful, both leading up to the event and throughout the day itself. They made sure we felt prepared, comfortable, and taken care of every step of the way. On top of being total professionals, they are just genuinely kind, warm, and easy-going people. It felt like having 4 extra friends (including their assistants) with us rather than vendors. They blended in seamlessly, helped calm nerves, and still managed to capture every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. We also got SO many compliments from our guests immediately after the wedding saying how amazing they were!

When we received the final photos and video, I was completely blown away. I cried watching the video – it brought back every emotion in the best way, and I still can’t stop scrolling through the photos. They captured our day with so much heart, detail, and intention. These are memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives, and we’re so grateful to them for that. I truly can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a team who is talented, caring, and genuinely invested in telling your story beautifully, they are the ones!”
