WOODSTOCK, N.Y. - s4story -- Woodstock, NY — Love meets art in the heart of the Catskills as award-winning Hudson Valley wedding photographer Steven Parker Studios announces a Free Wedding Photography Contest in Woodstock, New York. One lucky couple will win a full wedding day photography package—capturing every laugh, embrace, and unforgettable detail in one of the most iconic towns in America.

Known around the world for its legendary 1969 music festival, Woodstock has long stood as a beacon of creativity, freedom, and expression. But the town's story runs deeper: nestled in the Catskill Mountains, it has been a haven for painters of the Hudson River School, musicians seeking inspiration, and a community of artisans who've made the town a living gallery of art, culture, and eclectic life. With its charming streets lined with galleries, vibrant music venues, organic cafés, and mountain views, Woodstock offers a unique backdrop for any couple who wants their wedding to be a reflection of artistry and spirit.

Steven Parker, the creative force behind Steven Parker Studios, is widely regarded for his ability to distill the essence of a wedding into images that are both intimate and enduring. His published works are characterized by an elegant tension between fine art and documentary traditions — a balance of carefully composed portraiture and spontaneous, unscripted moments.

Parker's vision is rooted in an almost painterly sensitivity to light and atmosphere. He approaches each wedding as a living narrative, attentive to the quiet gestures as much as the grand expressions. The result is a body of work that transcends simple documentation; his wedding photographs become visual heirlooms, charged with emotion and resonance.

"Every couple has a rhythm, a tone, a way they move through the world together," Parker notes. "My task is to translate that into photographs which feel both timeless and unmistakably their own."
