Winter Weddings

I would like to just put in a good word for Winter Weddings. From a photographic viewpoint you have a lot of really interesting light at this time of year. Earlier in the season there were also reminants of the lovely autumnal colours to add further dimension to wedding images.
Winter light has a very special quality that can really ooze quality in portraiture. We’re talking soft filtered light that falls off a subject’s face with a very satisfying tonal gradation. The longer shutter speeds needed in this type of work also help bring out hidden colour in light that otherwise wouldn’t be seen under harsh flash or studio light.
I also love seeing Christmas Trees in wedding photographs too there is something very complimentary about a wedding dress and a Christmas Tree, probably a synergy of shape and light between the two.
