Being invited wedding it is such a huge honor. To be present experiencing two people who are deeply in love with each other make a bond that will last the rest of their lives. They are inviting you to witness their most special day. In this day in age with modern technology and people trying to take pictures , videos with their phones, I pads etc. and devices of all kind.  It seems hard to  really focus on just enjoy the moment and feel the emotion that is going happening right now.  The moment.  With on line galleries and social media let the photographer handle the photography. People should just focus on being really present and watching the most special bond be created between two people occur, not worrying about getting the perfect shot, that’s what the photographer is there for. The beauty of the wedding is being there, being in that moment and having tears of joy or a smile on your face knowing that their life is now an inseparable bond.  A wedding is a day for enjoying laughs and smiling and positive emotions not stressing about getting that perfect shot with your phones or cameras, leave that up to the photographer, just enjoy yourself and that special occasion.

The Look of Old Films in a Digital Age | Rhinebeck Wedding Photography

Digital photography has changed the way wedding photography is done.  It is argued at nausea among professionals if it has been a good or bad development.  I am not going into rehash that fight.  Aperture Photography photographs wedding all over the Hudson Valley with both. The high cost of film and processing has priced all put the highest budgets for wedding photography out of range.

I have been working on bringing back the look of old film for  Aperture Photography wedding photography.  The look of film is big in towns like Rhinebeck, Woodstock, Kingston  and many of the artistic towns that do the Hudson River Valley.

Aperture Photography has been photographing weddings in the Upstate, NY area for over 20 years.  Here is a taste of old film types in the modern world of digital.

Kingston New York Weddings | Perfect for the couple and photographer

Wedding Photo on the streets of Kingston, NY

Kingston NY, is a perfect place for a wedding and wedding photography. The geographic location is next to the Hudson River and historic nature of being the first capital of New York State. It has it all the Hudson River, the Rondout District and the Uptown Stockade District  that feels like you back in the revolutionary war period.

Aperture Photography has photographed hundreds of weddings in Kingston.  It has a wide variety of different locations within a few miles of each other. Every wedding is bound to take on a unique appeal. The Rondout District is colorful with beautiful waterfronts and colorful restored 19th century buildings. As a wedding photographer I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful place. Hollywood films are shot there and for good reason. The uptown stockade district has many original 18 century buildings. With the Senate House the Old Dutch Church and grand stone buildings, the look of the photography takes on a elegant more formal feel.

Everyone loves the Hudson River and Kingston is located right on it. The Kingston point is a favorite location for many couples. Many couples choose to have their weddings in Kingston due to the rich heritage and breathtaking scenes. It is one of my favoritea locations for wedding and reception photographs.

Kingston NY |Wedding Photographer | Enough Snow !

Weddng Flowers

I just photographed a wedding in Kingston, NY.  I love the cold, but the deep snow and wind just was frigid. I live in the northeast and know for 4-5 months the weather is cold and snowy. I am a wedding photographer who loves all four seasons and winter too.  But, this winter has been so cold and filled with snow.

In March there is enough warm days to melt the snow. Not this year. My studio is in Saugerties, near the Catskills.  Hunter and Windham Mountain are just 15 -20 minutes away.  I have enjoyed some of the beautiful winter wedding photographs.  My brides have loved them.  But enough is enough it is time for spring. I just want to post a bright sunny photograph of a flower.  In a month or two we have the Hudson Valley spring to enjoy.  I cannot wait for spring weddings.

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.
