Wedding Photography| Ulster County | Kingston | NY | Sisters |

The special bond between sisters. Beauty Lady's both inside and out !

I am very grateful to know a wonderful family with 2 sisters and a brother.  Although, I just meet the brother last weekend I have photographed the sisters for senior portraits.  I also have two sisters so I understand the dynamics of sisters.  I love French impressionistic paintings.  A common theme is sisters.  Seeing these beautiful young ladies remind me of the master works of the 1880's.  Aperture Photography photographed this wedding is in Ulster County in Upstate, NY, but some of the picture bring me back to a very different time.  There beauty and grace was inspiring.  I will be working on bringing out the incredible beauty of the sisters and the entire wonderful wedding.

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

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

Fall the new wedding season | Aperture Photography Washingtonville, Upstate NY Wedding Photographer

What a Great Day ! Just Wonderful. Stone Ridge and New Paltz

Over the last 20 years the busiest season has moved to September and October.  Sure Summer is still busy, but Fall is now the Upstate, NY and the Northeast USA go to season. The cooler weather, Fall foliage or generally hotter summers has changed the way people plan. The Hudson Valley is the greatest place It is known for beautiful Falls and great refreshing days.  I still love the summer weddings and just did 4 in a row with heat indexes of over 100 degrees and the photographs look great.

Causal Wedding Portrait | Aperture Photography Upstate NY Wedding Photographer

A more relaxed wedding portrait

I love a causal style of portrait for weddings.  I was classically trained and can do the formals that are almost royal.  But, I much prefer a more relaxed style.  This shot is an example of simple, relaxed, comfortable and beautiful.  It will always be in style.  Aperture Photography really thinks that when that photographs should look as good 25 years from now as they do today.  Book us today we will work with you to provide you with great wedding photography at a good price.
