Summer Weddings in Upstate NY

Summer Wedding in Kingston NY by Aperture Photography

t has been both a beautiful and painful summer shooting weddings in NYC and upstate, NY. It seems hotter and more humid the ever. I could be wrong due to the trend toward outside weddings. The Wedding and wedding industry blogs and publications are mostly based on the regions coastal of California. The wedding are almost never humid and much cooler. The wedding are held about 1 hour before sunset. The comfort level could not be better. This has influenced the wedding here where weddings held in hot humid times were not the norm just 5 years ago.

The reasons are many and I will list just a few.

Church weddings are becoming rare.
The venues would much rather time and locate the wedding at a certain location and time for logistics.
And of course the wedding media and the California weather style.

This is not to say New York outdoor weddings are not wonderful. If the weather is on your side and the timing is perfect The Hudson Valley is the best. But in July and August it could get uncomfortable.

Form mid September until late October nothing is like the Northeast part of the US. Absolutely the best place to in the world to hold a wedding. The refreshing air and great views are world famous. And who does not love a North East Fall foliage, christmas or a snowy wedding.

Don't get me wrong. The summer is special, but think about the heat when make up and hair is involved. You can do a lot no matter what the weather to insure you are picture ready.

Kingston NY |Wedding Photographer | Enough Snow !

I just photographed a wedding in Kingston, NY. I love the cold, but the deep snow and wind just was frigid. I live in the northeast and know for 4-5 months the weather is cold and snowy. I am a wedding photographer who loves all four seasons and winter too. But, this winter has been so cold and filled with snow.

In March there is enough warm days to melt the snow. Not this year. My studio is in Saugerties, near the Catskills. Hunter and Windham Mountain are just 15 -20 minutes away. I have enjoyed some of the beautiful winter wedding photographs. My brides have loved them. But enough is enough it is time for spring. I just want to post a bright sunny photograph of a flower. In a month or two we have the Hudson Valley spring to enjoy. I cannot wait for spring weddings.
