Destination Weddings Photographer in the Hudson Valley and Catskills | Aperture Photography

As a destination wedding photographer in the Hudson Valley, New York and Catskills, I am dedicated to creating authentic, documentary-style photographs that tell your story in an original, artistic manner. I enjoy documentary wedding photography because it allows me to capture not only the who, what and when of your day but also the why. I believe photos should be about creating art for your home and family. There couldn't be a more fitting way to appropriately honor your union with one another than by documenting the love you share through exacting details, emotion and romance as it's happening around you at every moment on this special day.

Fine Wedding Albums by Hudson Valley Photographer Aperture Photography

Aperture Photography design and makes the finest wedding albums the will be treasures forever

I have noticed a big change in the past few years.  Quality Wedding Albums are in high demand. It is a digital world. Like it or not speed and easy are how most people live there life.  With social media and powerful electronic devices it is easy and convenient.  But we are missing so much of the beauty and sense of permeance and beauty of a real wedding album or a beautifully crafted album photographic print. The design, color and material options are endless.  And it is done by the artist and book binders.

I really love the idea of the couple having a usb drive with there wedding photos.  It makes sense to have them and make a copy for safe keeping.  But most people have little idea of what they are missing when they don’t have a high quality wedding album.  Yes you can make up a inexpensive album from sources on the internet, but I am certain the quality difference in night and day over a top quality album. Basically the difference is like a 15 dollar throw away cell phone and the latest iPhone.  Yes they are both phones, but that is where it ends.

Here are just a few of the advantages.

Top quality photographic archival paper with a full color range and color accuracy.  The ink on quality albums are pigment with millions of color graduations which does not fade for hundreds of years. After a few years with cheap paper and albums color shifts and fading will happen.  The feel of the paper the feel and refined look screams quality and beauty.  When look at a really beautiful album you slow down and really enjoy the experience.  

Albums are coming back in a big way.  People are a little tech tired.  Organic real items you can touch and feel add so much to the pleasure of reliving the moments of one of the most important days of you life.

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.

Most weddings, of course, provide wedding group photos, often Formal wedding portraits. The approach of Aperture Photography's style of  photojournalism  wedding photographers that these are typically less staged and stiff shots.  You need  to stage some shots but only  five to 10 percent of the entire coverage.  As wedding photojournalists commonly use an on-camera flash or take the portraits outside instead of using elaborate lighting set-ups for these portraits.  Our goal is images are captured spontaneously.  Aperture Photography is available for fine  artful wedding photography in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Albany, Poughkeepsie and throughout upstate NY.
