Kingston NY Wedding Photographer | At the Train

Aperture Photography Weddings at Kingston, NY

If you look around  the wonderful Hudson Valley there are endless backdrops for great wedding photography. All you have to do is keep you creative eyes open.  This Train photograph idea happened on the way to the New York State Thruway.  I drove from Saugerties to Kingston and as I got off the interstate I  saw the wonderful restored train car.  It's brilliant red color in the autumn sun made this location a must.  The bride and groom were so nice that they indulged my idea and we had fun.  They are such a creative couple.  Creativity to me is just seeing and being open to opportunities that are everywhere.   Couples think the have to go to famous out of the way places for there photographs.  That is fine, but great photographs are everywhere !  Contact Aperture Photography and let us create our unique wedding collection.  Visit http://aperturephoto.com

Thank You Keegan Ales in Kingston, NY

Saugerties Performing Arts Factory (SPAF)

Saugerties and Kingston NY have become destination wedding locations for hip couples.  The Art and Antique movement have transformed the once decaying areas into the gems. The hard work of local businesses have transformed 19th century buildings into period pieces that are one of a kind and stunning.  Micro brewery's , Art galleries and old factory's have been transformed into stunning unique places to hold weddings and events.

Saugerties has a great Art scene with a center piece called the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory (SPAF).

Call or e-mail Aperture photography and we will be glad to discuss you wedding and help you have the best of everything.  http://aperturephoto.com

Aperture Photography Wedding Photographer|Hunter, Tannersville, Catskills and Upstate NY

There are some moments that cannot be scripted and some places that leave a permanent impression. As Wedding Photographer with Aperture Photography http://aperturephoto.com/ I have been just about everywhere Hunter and Windham for me have that element of the grandness of nature which cannot be outdone. Just taking a walk down a mountain road, The light hitting your skin and the cool breeze  just starts the experience. You're up at the top of the world in a glistening whirl of breath taking mountain views and surrounded by the beauty of nature at its purest. No matter the season the experience is breathtaking. The Windham and Hunter experience is like standing in a painting, you become part of it and it becomes part of you and what better way to exchange vows and celebrate your life in the beauty of natures finest gift. I always enjoy  photographing weddings in the majestic beauty of Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain.

The Bridal Party was as amazing as the setting !

What a difference a day makes|Aperture Photography Newburgh and New Windsor Wedding Photographer

The beautiful Bride

These photographs were taken last Friday.  A rain storm washed out the New York State Thruway.  You could not even drive in the storm.  But as it always seems to be everything works out.  I got to the wedding site Chadwick Lake in Newburgh, NY and 10 minutes later and a soft beautiful light overcame the site.  In all the years Aperture Photography finds a way and seems to have an angel to help me get great photographs at weddings.  The couple was as nice as could be and brave to walk to some places that were a bit wet, but boy was in worth it.

Kingston NY Wedding|Aperture Photography Kingston and Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer

Aperture Photography in Downtown Kingston, NY

This was fun ! I just love late 1900's and early 1900's buildings. Shooting weddings with the vintage buildings and wonderful period colors stir my creative juices.  Don't get me wrong I love country and mountain scences, but a change keeps a photographer fresh. Aperture Photography and more importantly the bride and groom get photographs that are stunning. The Hudson Valley has and the colors done a great job restoring the great old buildings.  Towns that 20 years ago were falling apart are now pure gems.  Here are a few shots from this weekend in Kingston, NY.  Saugerties, Hudson, Albany, Saratoga, Poughkeepsie, Beacon and all the way to Westchester have similar beauty.  Contact Aperture Photography at http://aperturephoto.com

Time for a Ice Cream Break !

I just love the unplanned moment | Aperture Photography Weddings at Anthony's Pier Nine in New Windsor

The Love of a Father and his Daughter

As a photographer it goes without saying there are must have photographs.  But, the photographs I love most are the one you get when you just open your mind to the feeling and emotions of the day.  This weekend Aperture Photography was at the famous Anthony's Pier Nine in New Windsor New York and the day was filled with great moments. I captured some shots that made a person who has been a wedding photographer for well over 20 years stop and say to myself  " that is special"  Here is a shot of Dad the groom and his daughter.  The love needs no explanation and a picture is truly worth a thousand words.
