WINTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Capturing The Best Winter Wedding Photos
There are lots of photographers available who take photos at weddings, but if your wedding is a winter wedding there are special considerations that you need to think about, and ask potential photographers about, before you hire them. Make sure the photographer you hire has experience taking photos of winter weddings and has all the necessary tools and equipment to capture your wedding on film.

If you're holding a Christmas wedding in a grand cathedral at night, will there be enough light to take good portraits in the church or will you need to set up a ‘photo area’ with more light and other tools to get great photos? If you want outdoor photos taken in the snow, the photographer will need to have some experience at taking winter photos to make sure that the light isn’t too bright or too dark. Taking outdoor winter photos can be very tricky, especially if you are wearing a white dress in the snow, so ask to see the photographer’s portfolio of other winter photographs to get an idea of how well they can photograph a winter wedding.
Are there lots of windows at either location? If you are holding your reception in an atrium or greenhouse, the number of windows can wreak havoc with the lighting. You don’t want to your photos to end up with spots or flash problems, so talk with the photographer about whether or not you will need to create a special area to take photos or how the photographer plans to accommodate the lighting of the venue and the time of day of the ceremony and reception. What about vintage style photos? If you have picked a vintage theme for your wedding, ask the photographer if they have experience in taking vintage style photos or black and white photos. Taking vintage style photos can be tricky, but there are photographers who specialize in getting that vintage look for wedding photos. The bottom line when hiring a photographer for a winter wedding is that you need to be aware of some of the hardships that come with taking photos in the winter, like dealing with snow glare, bad weather, low or no light, and too many windows or clouds. Discuss all your concerns with a potential photographer before hiring them to take pictures at your winter wedding and make sure you feel comfortable with their ability to take great photos for you under any winter conditions before hiring them.
