Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer

Aperture photography has shot well over a thousand weddings in the Hudson Valley.  The purpose of what we do is to make our brides and groom love there photography and all the memories they will bring.  A wedding is such a special and unique event. The bride and groom should have a wow factor along with documentary coverage in there photographs.  The wedding day is not any other day and the photographs should be the very best.  All the bases must be covered.  The ceremony, candids, preparation, family portraits and the reception and cultural traditions.  My favorite shots are the couple together and bridal photos.  I am a fashion and studio photographer so it comes so natural to me.

First Dance at a Formal Wedding Venue

Almost every bride has looked at Bride Magazine and thought about all the details and beauty that they want in there wedding.  It is a large emotional investment.  As the wedding photographer you need to do all you can to make the dreams and wishes come true.  Sure, you need to balance the need to get the shots with making sure the couple enjoy the wedding.  With all the years of experience and care it is no problem.

The Hudson Valley is so diverse with everything from rural barns to posh mansions and that is the fun of it.

The Full Moon Resort in Spring | Aperture Photography

Barn Wedding Photography in the Catskills by Aperture Photography

The Full Moon Resort was the site of a remarkable Monday Wedding.  Aperture Photography was so happy to capture all the wonderful moments. Besides the normal family formal I shot in a photojournalistic style. People came from as far as Peru and Washington State.  After a week of rain the skies cleared and the sun danced off the new grass.  It was a perfect day and I have never seen the beautiful Full Moon Resort look better.  Check out their web site http://www.fullmoonresort.com/

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.
