    Truly dedicated!

    Frank was amazing to work with! He was able to capture every special moment of our special day and was extremely flexible. He was truly dedicated to us from initial contact through delivery of our package. Not to mention, his turnaround time was fantastic! We received everything within 2 weeks of the wedding and the quantity and quality of photos was remarkable. I would definitely recommend using Aperture Photography!

    Frank was great! Easy to work with, flexible, and responsive. He turned our photos around in less than 3 weeks and provided us with hundreds of photos more than we paid for. They are absolutely stunning. He captured our #bestdayever completely, and beautifully. Above and beyond the photos themselves, his experience doing photography in the Adirondacks was extremely helpful. Frank had great insights about day's timeline and suggested the perfect time for the ceremony which was outdoors. The light on the water behind the ceremony is breathtaking. We cannot thank Frank enough!

    Simply the best photographer you will find. Frank was an absoulute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We could not be more pleased with the photographs. He is truly one of the most dedicated artists we have ever met. Not only is Frank a kind and caring man, he is so enthuesiastic about what he does. He worked incredibly hard the day of the wedding and for many long hours after to make sure we were 100% satisfied with the photos. His work speaks for itself, absolutely beautiful !

    Frank is the photographer we were looking for, and found out was necessary to obtain the quality we expected for our wedding. He is a true master of his craft and we knew the photos were going to be amazing even before we saw them. The way he managed ourselves and our guests was as seamless and effective as it gets. It was a pleasure having his presence to photograph every aspect of our day. He even got great shots of the children during group arrangements with family. This extra effort meant the world to us.
    Once we got the photos we were more excited and pleased than we thought we could be. His use of various lenses, cameras, and lighting resulted in the most stunning collection of wedding photos. Aperture Photography was the right choice and we couldn't be happier with our wedding photos.

    Frank was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding photography! He was very kind and personable, and reassured us when we were stressed or nervous. The photos came out much better than I could have imagined, and he was so quick in getting them back to us after our big day! I will certainly recommend Aperture Photography to friends in the future!

    Frank is a very talented and enthusiastic photographer! He was friendly, easy to work with, and accommodating. He made sure that we had a positive wedding photo experience; he mailed us the USB and completed the website in only a couple weeks and the web layout looked great! He is very fairly priced and is definitely worth every penny.

    Working with Aperture Photography was a great experience! Frank and Darlene were lovely to work with. From the first time I spoke with Frank he put to rest any worries that I had. We were able to create a package that fit our needs and budget and Frank went above and beyond to get wonderful pictures. He worked very hard to get the perfect shot and considered of all of the specifics that I requested, but also had a ton of perfectly timed candid shots. We received our photos right away and couldn't be happier with them.

    Frank and his wife Darlene photographed our engagement shoot and the pictures turned out amazing. We were initially considering a few different photographers for our wedding and engagement shoot and after much debate decided on Frank, and we are INCREDIBLY glad we did. Frank has a rare talent for art and this really comes out in his pictures. He worked with us to find a suitable venue for the shoot, and his pictures are absolutely perfect. He is extremely professional, accommodating, and worked within our budget while not sacrificing an ounce of quality. We cannot wait to have him shoot the wedding.

    Frank was great to work with! Very approachable prior to the event and flexible during. The pictures came out AMAZING! He seems very genuine in his desire to make the memories of your big day perfect. Looking at our pictures months later makes us feel the same as we did the day of our wedding. If I had a do-over, I would definitely choose Aperture Photography.

    Aperture Photography did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. From the beginning, Frank and Darlene had a very consultative approach and listened to all of our concerns and desires. If you're looking for someone who really cares about capturing the moment and is a very professional photography outfit, look no further. Aperture photography does it all!

    Frank at Aperture Photography was an absolute joy to work with. He was incredibly flexible, allowing us to suggest types of photos what we wanted from our wedding, while also taking artistic and creative liberties that we are so grateful for. He and his staff were incredibly professional and out-of-the-way, while capturing some unique moments that we were so happy to have on film. His prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quality of service he provides. I would recommend his services and artistry to anyone in need of a photographer!

    We had an incredible experience with Frank and Darlene on our wedding day. Frank made us feel incredibly comfortable, and he worked so hard to get us the best photographs. He was also incredibly responsive prior to the event, emails and phone calls were returned immediately, we had multiple conversations prior to our ceremony so that the big day ran smoothly. Everything came out beautifully and could not imagine having a better photographer. Highly recommended.

    Frank was a wonderful photographer. Initially we were more concerned about choosing the photographer than any other vendor because it is arguably the most important aspect of your wedding. But Frank laid all our concerns to rest. He went above and beyond. Not only did he have an amazing portfolio but he put his hear and soul into our wedding.

    He made us feel that our wedding was very special. He treated the bride as his own daughter and kept saying that Rebecca reminded him of his own daughter. He had many ideas and his experience is unmatchable. He understood lighting and photography very well. He knew the time and spots at which light was best for taking good photos and asked us to come out a little before sunset, when the light was perfect and took some wonderful shots of us by the lake. He also listened to our ideas and took all the different kind of photos we wanted. He really put his heart, soul and mind into it and was very professional and responsive, We are so glad that we picked one of the best photographers in upstate New York.

    He worked on our photos and sent us around 300 photo prints and about 2000 photos in a USB within 3 weeks. He added amazing touches to different photos and captured perfect moments from the most memorable day of our lives and we are really grateful.

    When I first contacted Frank I knew I was in good hands! He took the time to explain each package available and how they would match with my expectations! He was easy to get in touch with and very responsive to our needs. The timeline for our day was very tight in some spots but he was flexible and managed to get all the shots we were looking for. I LOVE all the beautiful pictures he took of the ceremony, reception, bridal party, and all those unexpected moments. We had a gorgeous day and Frank was able to capture the beauty of the scenery in Upstate NY during Fall! I will cherish the memories and all the pictures that he captured those memories in!

    My husband and I got married 9/26/14 at Windham Mountain and were SO happy we chose Aperture to do our photography. When we first contacted Frank he was so enthusiastic about shooting our wedding that he offered us a discount on our total package cost. Communication with Frank was easy. He was very quick to reply to our emails and calls, and he made the time to sit down with us to discuss our expectations.

    The day of our wedding Frank was extremely professional and got some absolutely stunning photographs of our big day. We had a beautiful fall day for our wedding and Frank did an amazing job capturing our gorgeous scenery as well as the highlights of our day. We also loved that we were given full rights to all of the photos as well as an online gallery to share with family and friends.

    We would highly recommend Aperture Photography to any couple getting married in the Hudson Valley or surrounding regions. Frank does not disappoint!

    First off, I want to mention that my husband and I had two wedding ceremonies, with two different photographers. One in New York, with Frank, and one in Colorado with another photographer. Getting to see the difference between a great photographer, with a professional attitude, and a photographer (the one is Colorado) who showed us a great front, but on the wedding day was terrible, really brought to light exactly how wonderful of a job Frank did for us on our wedding day. Frank was constantly taking pictures, never missing a beat. On the other hand, Colorado photographer was constantly seen sitting down, not taking pictures of things that were happening.

    Frank and Darlene were wonderful to work with. Frank is super enthusiastic, friendly and professional. I love doing business with genuinely kind people. He was very responsive from start to finish. Every time I had emailed a question, his response was never more than a couple of hours later. We didn't really know what we wanted in terms of styling, but Frank made sure to capture everything we could have wanted and more! His dedication to making our day so very special was obvious and very much appreciated. He was there from start to finish, and traveled with us from Poughkeepsie to Rhinecliff for our ceremony and reception. Everyone commented on how great they both were, and how wonderful our pictures turned out! We got our pictures back in about 2 1.5 to 3 weeks, just in time for holidays and upcoming birthday presents. And the flash drives came in the mail to us in very pretty black boxes with glass tops. I will hire them for whatever other special occasion comes along, and highly recommend them for weddings. Fantastic job!!

    Frank did a great job with our family reunion! 30 people, eight families and he got everyone to look good. He was very patient with all the different shots we wanted and made sure the light was perfect. He was understanding about not being able to get in touch with me due to traveling and no connection in the mountain, kept the slot for us and was flexible when we moved the day up. The pictures were fantastic and will be treasured by all three generations for years to come.

    Frank and his wife are an amazing team and get AWESOME pictures without ever being in the way. We couldn't believe some of the shots he got as we were thinking about how we had forgotten he was there at times. He takes so many more pictures than are even necessary, leaving you with more than enough to choose from, and likely wanting most of them. On top of that he is a nice, polite and professional guy who can deal with just about anything and make it come out great. I would definitely hire him again if we had it to do all over again.

    Frank & Darlene of Aperture Photography were wonderful throughout the entire process. When we first met them it was clear how passionate they are about out their business. Frank really was excited while taking pictures on our wedding day and would stop to show us when he got a really nice shot. He and Darlene had a very mellow attitude which helped us to relax on a day which we feared could have been very stressful! The photos were ready for us before we returned from our honeymoon and we were so happy with the results! We recommend Aperture to anyone looking for excellent photography by two kind & caring people- Thanks!!!

    The couple that took our pictures are so friendly and blend in well with the rest of your loved ones on your special day. They made you feel comfortable and they are so accommodating to your needs. They are a blessing to have taking photos at your wedding and the talent is amazing. My wedding photos came out so nice and the entire mood of the wedding was captured perfectly.
