Yesterday I photographed a wonderful couples engagement photographs.  I often photograph weddings in Hunter, Tannersville, Windham, The Full Moon  Resort  and Mohonk Mountain  House.  Every time Aperture Photography a  photograph a wedding or engagement session I find new places of beauty to add to my collection of places to take my brides and grooms.  The thought of a Catskills wedding or engagement session trills me.   I cannot help but look forward to creating great photographs for my customers.  What makes it all the more exciting is that there is little traffic and you can get to many wonderful sites in minutes.  From Hunter Mountain and The Copper Tree Inn there are 10 places at least that are simply beautiful and most just 10 minutes away.  The Catskills are simply photographic paradise.  Among Aperture Photography's favorite locations are Tannersville, The Kaaterskill Falls, North and South Lake and the beautiful town of Windham, NY.

Engagement Photographs are so important to kick off wedding photography.  The most important aspect is the couple gets great photographs in a different location.  The photographs are in non-wedding clothing, which adds to the versatility.  Also, you become comfortable with the photographer.  Hopefully  Aperture Photography.  http://aperturephoto.com .   Aperture Photography serves The Catskills, Hudson Valley, Kingston, NY, Albany, NY, Poughkeepsie, Saratoga, New Windsor, Saugerties,  and the entire Upstate NY area including new York City.

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

Saugerties and Kingston NY have become destination wedding locations for hip couples.  The Art and Antique movement have transformed the once decaying areas into the gems. The hard work of local businesses have transformed 19th century buildings into period pieces that are one of a kind and stunning.  Micro brewery's , Art galleries and old factory's have been transformed into stunning unique places to hold weddings and events.

Saugerties has a great Art scene with a center piece called the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory (SPAF).

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.

The Bridal Party was as amazing as the setting !

The beautiful Bride

These photographs were taken last Friday.  A rain storm washed out the New York State Thruway.  You could not even drive in the storm.  But as it always seems to be everything works out.  I got to the wedding site Chadwick Lake in Newburgh, NY and 10 minutes later and a soft beautiful light overcame the site.  In all the years Aperture Photography finds a way and seems to have an angel to help me get great photographs at weddings.  The couple was as nice as could be and brave to walk to some places that were a bit wet, but boy was in worth it.
