Classic Bridal Portrait

Aperture Photography has invested in some of the lasted equipment that will enable us to provide you with photographs that were imposable just last year.  The Canon, Nikon, Sony camera and lens war has taken technology to a level thought impossible.  If the photographer is not talented and knows what he or she is doing the equipment will not help at all, but a seasoned pro with 10-20 years of shooting weddings can use this equipment to creative highs.  I guess what I am saying it goes back to talent and experience.  The bride and groom will really benefit.  I have spend so much time in classes with masters and practicing my craft I cannot wait to create beautiful weddings for my bride and groom and families.  Aperture Photography is a Albany, Hudson Valley Saugerties Kingston  and Westchester based photographer.  Visit us at http//aperturephoto.com

Wedding Photographer Aperture Photography Hunter Mountain

For many parts of each wedding I shoot I have 3 cameras with 3 very different lenses.  Any photographer who really know his art know it is the lenses that are the artists paint brushes.  It is hard to do put I need the right lens to get the right shot.  Most people use general purpose lenses.  The results will be ok, but never spectacular.  My style is artistic, and leans toward the fine art side.  I have been doing this so long I just know what lens I need to get the look and feel I need.  Changing lenses is not fast enough and brakes my train of thought.  I like to have all fast lenses on the camera so I have the flexibility to through the background out of focus.  I need one long lenses that can reach out and capture candid moments.  I also need an exotic lens that shots at f 1.2 to give a ethereal look when I feel it is right.  Sure I have great assistants, put I still need to be lightning quick.  Aperture Photography prides its self in wedding photography that is art not just photography.

Summer at the Red Maple

In one of my last posts I spoke about the beauty of the Catskills  including Upstate NY, Catskill Mountain Region, Hudson Valley Region, Adirondack Region,  Delaware County, Roxbury, Andes, Delhi and Big Indian.  In this post I want to tough on a different type of beauty.  The Hudson River, Valley towns of Kingston and Saugerties NY.  These sleepy little towns with 19th century building make for a look and feel right out of a movie.

The HBO show Boardwalk Empire has a similar look and Aperture Photography has shot hundreds of weddings in these locations and will provide you with special unforgettable wedding photography.  Take a look at some of our work at http://aperturephoto.com

I read this somewhere and it is great advice.

Advice for brides-to-be: “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional photographer for one day, the emotional cost of hiring an amateur lasts forever.”

If you're need to save money on a photographer, talk to your professional of choice. He or she can try to work a plan that works for both the Bride and Groom and the Photographer. Although I admire the is ambitious amateur, It's a gamble with odds you totally against you. Talk to us at Aperture Photography you will be pleasantly surprised.

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.
