Estelle Hofgaertner and Abdul Khan were married on May 2, 2026, at Mountainville Manor in Mountainville, NY. The spring date brought soft light and fresh greenery to the manor’s grounds, giving the day a relaxed, unhurried feel from the start.

Getting ready portraits showed the quieter early hours. Estelle’s pearl necklace and veil were among the details photographed before the day picked up pace. The bridal bouquet, handled by Ani’s Flowers, was full and lush, a consistent presence through the portraits that followed.

The first look took place outside the manor in a private moment before the ceremony. From there, I brought the couple to a nearby railroad trestle bridge for portraits. The iron structure and surrounding landscape made for a striking backdrop. As they were wrapping up and leaving the bridge, a train came through. It was an unplanned detail that added to the afternoon.

The ceremony had the hallmarks of an early May wedding in the Hudson Valley. Aisle florals lined the space, and guests filled in around the couple under open sky. Nine ceremony frames captured the exchange, the guests, and the floral arrangements anchoring the aisle.

The reception wrapped the day with Hudson Valley Event Group handling the music. The single reception frame in the gallery shows guests gathered and the room in motion. Bridal and Beauty NY handled both hair and makeup for the bridal party.
