Weddings should be Fun ! | Leave it to the Professionals | Catskills Wedding Photographer

The act of getting married  means many things.  Love, commitment, change and a start of a whole new life.  Wedding are complex events.  There is much to do and the feeling that everything must be perfect .  Perfection should also mean fun and the absence of anxiety. Fun needs to be right up there on the priority list.  1 year of planning and stressing out can be avoided.  Hire professionals with a good track record and that will solve most of your problems.  Weddings are not an event to take chances.  I feel as a wedding photographer with more than 20 years of experience that all you have left after the wedding is a collection of beautiful professional photographs.  You can look make and relive one of the most important days of your life.  Sure it is tempting to hire a semi pro photographer at low prices.  But hiring a weekend warrior is like riding on a plane with no landing gear.

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 "

The beautiful Mountain Villages of the Catskill Mountains of Upstate, NY

Although, I spent a lot of time photographing weddings throughout Upstate, NY and New York City,  I just love the mountains of the Catskills and Adirondacks along  with locations like the Mohonk Mountain House, The Full Moon Resort and Onteora Mountain house, The small villages of the mountains have such charm.  They have wonderful mountain light and the old buildings are decorated beautifully.  This is a shot from a wedding in the village of Tannersville, near the Hunter Mountain Ski Resort.

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.

Kingston NY Wedding|Aperture Photography Kingston and Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer

Aperture Photography in Downtown Kingston, NY

This was fun ! I just love late 1900's and early 1900's buildings. Shooting weddings with the vintage buildings and wonderful period colors stir my creative juices.  Don't get me wrong I love country and mountain scences, but a change keeps a photographer fresh. Aperture Photography and more importantly the bride and groom get photographs that are stunning. The Hudson Valley has and the colors done a great job restoring the great old buildings.  Towns that 20 years ago were falling apart are now pure gems.  Here are a few shots from this weekend in Kingston, NY.  Saugerties, Hudson, Albany, Saratoga, Poughkeepsie, Beacon and all the way to Westchester have similar beauty.  Contact Aperture Photography at http://aperturephoto.com
