Why The River House at Odette's is a Top Wedding Venue in New Hope, PA: I shot my first wedding at The River House at Odette's several years ago and was instantly in love with this remarkable boutique hotel wedding venue. The colors, textures, and lighting are everything I look for in a wedding venue. There is so much charm and personality. Now, years later, I love getting inquiries from couples for this venue because it gives me an opportunity to push myself to my creative limits. Listen, this isn't a venue with massive fields, forests, and open space to roam freely, however there are so many amazing spaces all around that are a 10/10 in my book. This beautiful venue sits on the banks of the Delaware River and there is a wonderful towpath that is perfect for pictures. I love the cute ceremony space that is available too.
Listen, if you're wanting hundreds upon hundreds of guests at your wedding, this may not be an idea spot for you, but if you're planning a more intimate affair, I highly recommend checking it out! The River House at Odette's has a ton to offer.

Full Day Coverage
No need to Worry about missing a moment
I know that every time my wife or I feel stressed out, it’s a great idea to just stop, relax and take stock. This is never more true than when planning a wedding. My advice (having worked in the industry for many years and planned my own wedding) is to take some time to get your wedding priorities straight. What is important to you may not be as important to someone else. Figure out what you care most about and then go from there. For most of our couples, that means finding the perfect venue then finding the right photographer to capture it all.
How to be the most laid-back bride (or groom) on the planet
Nathan’s philosophy
kind words
Nathan is an amazing photographer and a great guy! Our wedding was supposed to be in 2020 during COVID and everythingggg we tried to plan was affected. Nathan was super flexible. We somehow wound up with TWO weddings. Our wedding party was almost 30 people and Nathan was somehow able to organize and handle all of our crazy fun friends not only one, but TWICE! We now have the most beautiful photos from both weddings. Every single moment was captured through Nathan’s lens and turned into artwork. I would 1000% recommend Nathan and we will absolutely use him for all of our future events. Thank you again, Nathan! You are the best!

frequently asked questions
How long have you been shooting weddings?
We have been shooting weddings since 2007 and have hundreds of them under our belt. We’ve worked at The River House at Odette's many times along with countless other venues in Lancaster and Philadelphia, in every season, weather, lighting, and size. We've seen it all!
Can I give you a list of shots that I want on my wedding day?
You can. However, we've found that it is best to just share images with us that are non-standard, or ones we wouldn't have known about had you not told us. Don't worry, we'll be sure to capture family pictures, your first kiss, and all of the "normal" stuff. Leading up to the wedding, we'll send you a questionnaire to fill out and then jump on a call with you to go over all of the important details.
Do you bring back-up equipment to every shoot?
We do. We have extra batteries, memory cards, lenses, and cameras. We're never going to be careless on someone's wedding day!
Do you travel?
We love to travel and experience new places. If your wedding is within 100 miles (round trip) of our studio, there are no extra fees. If it is further away, we'd be happy to give you a custom quote to cover nominal travel expenses. There are no travel fees for The River House at Odette's Weddings
Are the images we see edited?
All of the final images we post (usually between 850-1250) are color-corrected, cropped, and ready for printing. If you like the work you see on our website, you'll love your own images! Editing styles/filters come and go over time, but one of the consistent things we hear from our couples is that they love our timeless style while remaining vibrant, bold and authentic!
