A Walk in the Village of Hunter, NY

There is no dough about it the Ski slopes and beautiful mountain scenery get most of the press.  Most of my wedding photography in that area are based on the beautiful views.  People often overlook the charming wonderful villages with the colorful buildings and great food.  The charm of these small businesses are unique and are well worth visiting.  Please support the small business owners in these towns.  It would be tragic if we lost the flavor they give us.  At Aperture Photography we often photograph them and use the along with my other wedding photography to add to the story,  Please look at our website to see the towns of the Catskills.

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 !

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

Swarmed by Paparazzi on their wedding day! | Wedding Photographers Aperture Photography Kingston, Saugerties, Poughkeepsie

Albany, Pougkeepsie Wedding Photographer Aperture Photographers

Great Wedding Photographers  must have a balanced approach. The bride and groom cannot be  swarmed by paparazzi  wedding photographers on their wedding day! A balance must be struck by getting all the photographs to document the wedding perfectly and making sure the wedding is about them. So  you must be a into  photojournalism a bit of   traditional photography for family group shots and editorial photographer for great fashion and wow shots.  Balance is the key. Aperture Photography photographs weddings throughout the Hudson Valley, including Saratoga Springs, Albany, Saugerties, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Catskills, Westchester and NYC.

It's all in the Details|Aperture Photography Wappingers Falls Wedding Photographers

You have heard it many times " It's all in the details.  They are so important to telling the story of a wedding. The really pull a wedding together.  I find the time when the bride is not available to be photographed. Wedding photographers must be efficient and experience matters. The time is their to get great shots without missing a thing. . A macro lens is very important  I use a 100mm f/2.8 IS macro.  Rings, flowers, shoes  and family keepsakes all make good detail shots. If prefer natural light when I have it.  But you can get great shots without it.

West Point

I will be photographing a wedding at West Point.  No place is like it. The Cadet Chapel is majestic and the Old Cadet Chapel brings you back in time. The Cadet Chapel and It's views that are incredible and history that fills volumes of books and basically tells the story of our country.  Photography at a West Point Wedding is a more formal affair with time and conduct. strict codes of t than most weddings, but at the reception the Cadets can really cut it loose.  The locations overlooking the Hudson take your breath away.

The reception will be at The Thayer Hotel.  Although I have shoot many wedding at West Point I still get butterflies when I go through the gates.
