Onteora Mountain House Wedding

Weddings

September 26, 2025

The air was warm. The sky was a brilliant blue. The Catskill Mountains stood majestic in the background. It was the perfect August day for a wedding at Onteora Mountain House—and Cristina and Cooper’s celebration was nothing short of magical.

Cristina, a New York City girl at heart, and Cooper, a mountain-loving ski instructor who’s spent countless winters in Jackson Hole, brought their worlds together in the most beautiful way. After photographing their engagement session in the Catskills, they knew their wedding had to feature a mountain view. While Onteora isn’t in the Tetons, it provided everything they dreamed of—sweeping vistas, rustic charm, and the natural beauty of the Catskills.

As an Onteora Mountain House wedding photographer, I can honestly say this venue did not disappoints. The ceremony deck offers panoramic mountain views, and the surrounding forest adds a serene, romantic atmosphere that’s hard to match.

Cristina and Cooper’s day was picture-perfect—sunny skies, mild temperatures, and not a drop of rain. But the real surprise? Alpacas at cocktail hour! Teddy and Bear, two charming alpacas from Clover Brooke Farm, greeted guests with plenty of photo ops and fuzzy love. It was a hit!

From the emotional first look to the heartfelt ceremony and the wild dance floor energy, this wedding was filled with warmth, joy, and love from start to finish. Every detail reflected Cristina and Cooper’s adventurous spirits and deep connection to the mountains.

Cristina and Cooper, thank you for inviting me to be part of your incredible day. It was an honor to capture your Onteora Mountain House wedding, and I hope these images bring you joy for years to come.
