Weddings are for the Grooms Too | Wedding Photographer in Albany

Portrait of Groom in Albany

I have been photographing weddings for over 20 years.  I am so lucky to have female assistants who know and remind me that the Groom is very important and needs great shot just like the bride.  Although I know how important it is, it is nice to have a assistant with strong views and a different set of eyes.

Over the last 10 years grooms have much more fashion sense.  I have studies the magazines and watched the Men's Warehouse commercials and see the change.  When I got married it was get a black tux and show up.  Those days are long gone.  A good wedding photographer must have a sense of the times.  Aperture Photography has just that.  With a lot of help from my assistants.

Don't worry brides you are always the focus.  But, just a little spotlight is the Grooms.

Aperture Photography photographs weddings all over the country including where this photograph was taken.  Albany, NY.

The Great Gatsby Inspiration for Wedding Photography | Aperture Photography Saugerties Wedding Photographer

1920 was a great time for fashion.  My Grandmother was a flapper.  I saw all the photographs of the style of the 1920.  I just watched the trailer for the movie Great Gatsby and I know there will be many 1920's style weddings.  It should be fun and bring back a lot of memories of my grandmother.
