Aperture photography has been photographing weddings near and in the Albany area for more than 20 years. Although much has changed in 20 years the beautiful architecture and landmarks remain timeless.  As a wedding photographer in Albany NY, I have such a selection of beautiful backdrops to choose from.  The bride and groom are assured of beautiful wedding memories.  There are many historical landmarks in Albany.  For example the New York State Capital, The Egg, the Empire State Plaza, the Palace Theatre and many parks and historic buildings that just aren’t found elsewhere.

With these backdrops of marble, stone, and beautiful parkland, your wedding pictures will be fantastic.  Due to the fact that the locations are very close, you can get the beautiful historic marble and stone buildings and in a short drive be at a scenic park with all its beautiful lush landscape.

Aperture photography especially loves the New York State Capital and the Empire State Plaza.  These areas are amongst the most beautiful in NY State.  A Few minutes from these historic buildings is Washington Park which will give you a different look to  your wedding photographs and add different visual interest to your beautiful wedding album.

A Father and Daughter | Albany NY Wedding | 11 North Pearl

Wedding Photograph of Father and Daughter Dance

Sometimes when I am photographing a wedding I see something so profound and toughing. I know what it like to have a daughter who I love and cherish.  I have to wonder what I would think about on my daughters wedding day.

Aperture Photography has been photographing weddings for always 20 years.  What I love about weddings are moments that have emotion and can relate to all of us.  The look of both the father and daughter tell me just how special the bond is between them.

I just wonder what dad was thinking about.  I know from experience that a daughter is always a little girl to dad.
