Fall the new wedding season | Aperture Photography Washingtonville, Upstate NY Wedding Photographer

What a Great Day ! Just Wonderful. Stone Ridge and New Paltz

Over the last 20 years the busiest season has moved to September and October.  Sure Summer is still busy, but Fall is now the Upstate, NY and the Northeast USA go to season. The cooler weather, Fall foliage or generally hotter summers has changed the way people plan. The Hudson Valley is the greatest place It is known for beautiful Falls and great refreshing days.  I still love the summer weddings and just did 4 in a row with heat indexes of over 100 degrees and the photographs look great.

Sunday was a wedding that was both elegant, classy and fun.  The Century House in Latham, NY is about 200 years old and has a Revolutionary War feel in some areas and all the modern amenities in others.   The couple was classy, but knew had to have a good time.   Aperture Photography was there to capture it all.

Aperture Photography Upstate, NY Wedding Photographer

The light in the Catskills has attracted artists since the 1830's.  The Light is simply amazing.  This shot was taken at Hunter Mountain and the Reception was at The Copper Tree Inn.  Windham Mountain which is a few miles to the north has very similar light.  You simply cannot beat it.  The bride is from France and she just radiates grace and beauty.  Aperture Photography photographs wedding throughout the Catskills, Upstate, NY and the Northeast part of the USA and beyond.

Albums now on Sale ! 15 % off | Wedding Photography and Albums by Aperture Photography

I have been married to the most wonderful person for more than 2 decades.  I would give every cent I have to have my wedding photographs back.  Through the years we have had fires, and floods and many priceless photographs were destroyed.  In those days there were no digital cameras.  The safety of digital files provide is truly priceless.  But think about having the person who took the pictures design the album and they will make sure it is done with the same artfulness and intention that the photos were taken with. That being said a beautiful album really is stunning and a joy to look at.  A work of art.  Think about it, you can look at the “Mona Lisa” on your computer or you can look at it in physical form.  Well you get the idea.  You are missing out if you do not get a beautifully professionally designed album with the best photographic paper.  Sure it cost money, but you will have a lasting heirloom of the most important day of your life.

Save some money in your budget for a beautiful wedding album.  It is a great time for couples you can now have both!  Aperture Photography can work with you to give you the best of both at an affordable price.

A More Pure form of Wedding Photography | Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer Aperture Photography

Now this cake is beautiful. From the Red Maple in West Park

In the last few posts I have been writing about photoshop and trick shots.  Here are some examples of a more pure form that I prefer.  Don't get me wrong I shoot for the bride and groom and shoot in a style they prefer.  I would just like to contrast the threads a bit.  To all you football fans.  Have fun Sunday !

Aperture Photography Wedding Photography| Hudson, Hunter, Saugerties and Rhinebeck

Aperture Photography Wedding, Portraits and Events Photographer spend many weekends photographing weddings in theHudsonValley and Rhinebeck and all over the Catskills.  I am not showing  much of the backgrounds in this post. I just feel the mood is different and it shows.  I just love The Rhinecliff Hotel with it's river old world charm I adore The Full Moon Resort with it's total quiet relaxed feel and majestic quality.  The peaceful beauty is sure to please. The are so many venues with similar feels and quality and are mentioned in other posts. Although the East and West side of the Hudson are just a few miles away the weddings have a totally different feel.  The East side with its Mansions and rolling hills and the West side with the majestic Catskills.  Love them both and feel very lucky to shoot in such worlds.

Getting ready for the big storm and wedding photography is all I can think of.  I am editing the weddings and uploading to the lab 24 hours a day.  Who knows how long the power will be out.  I hate my customers to wait so I will work until the wind blows the power lines down.  As a Hudson Valley and Catskills Wedding Photographer I know how brutal the weather can be.  Take a look at the monster truck from the Sunny Hill Resort in Greenville, NY.  I may need it.
