Winter Weddings

Why I shoot Winter Weddings

Some of my favourite days to shoot are Winter Weddings. Couples who get married in winter want a different feel to their images. Open Fires, candlelit ceremonies and even the magic of a Christmas tree, give them a unique atmosphere. Shooting winter weddings also brings challenges. It’s dark earlier on and you cannot rely on the weather for lots of outside pictures.

I love working in low light. Using the ambient light of a room can create something so romantic and intimate; something you just don’t get in summer. Couples that choose this time of year want that “feel” to their pictures. It takes a lot of experience to shoot dark spaces without flooding them bright flash. I have shot over 1500 weddings and many of them were in the off-season.

I mix natural, documentary images that don’t stop or interfere with your day with a few groups and portraits. I chose gentle direction, rather than anything cheesy. I want my images to transport you back to the day and let you relive it.
