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.

It's all in the Details|Aperture Photography Wappingers Falls Wedding Photographers

Aperture Photography Photography

You have heard it many times " It's all in the details.  They are so important to telling the story of a wedding. The really pull a wedding together.  I find the time when the bride is not available to be photographed. Wedding photographers must be efficient and experience matters. The time is their to get great shots without missing a thing. . A macro lens is very important  I use a 100mm f/2.8 IS macro.  Rings, flowers, shoes  and family keepsakes all make good detail shots. If prefer natural light when I have it.  But you can get great shots without it.

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.
