Wedding Story Telling | Aperture Photography Albany, Upstate, Poughkeepsie Wedding Photographer

The Start of a wonderful Adventure

Stating  with the obvious Aperture Photography photographs weddings we are photographers after all.  But our wedding photography is all about telling the story of the wedding and loved ones.  I am a lover of fine movies.  I feel that you can tell a story of the couple and loved ones that will grow in value every day.  I look at my wedding album and  pictures and see all the faces of the people I love.  I see my beautiful wife who gets more beautiful everyday and understand what this busy hectic life is all about. Some of the people at the wedding have passed. I am so happy to see them and I think for hours about the love, the times together and our history.  Please visit us at  http://www.aperturephoto.com

I see the beauty of my bride and cannot believe how lucky I am to have " married up ".  I think of the three children  we have and the joy they give me.  Living history, beauty and joy.  Not just a collection of wedding story, but a story of a collection of family, friends and love.

This brings me to the importance of having a wedding photographer like Aperture Photography document your life.

We are a business, but more importantly we have a passion to give our brides and grooms and families with a beginning, a story a history.  I really mean it when I say " It is more important than the money to me "

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
