Wedding photographers
We are wedding photographers based in Hereford, UK. Our style is relaxed and unobtrusive. We have photographed numerous spring, summer, autumn and winter weddings but we would LOVE to photograph a proper white winter wedding in the actual snow! Winter wedding photography is truly magical – it is something we really love because of many reasons (keep reading to find out more).
Sample winter wedding
This wedding day shown in the slideshow below is a perfect example of one of winter wedding photography rules. The colder it gets outside, the warmer the emotions and the crazier the parties are. Just take a look at this amazing winter wedding party at Brinsop Court. This is one of the reasons why we love winter weddings!
English winter weddings
English winters are rather mild which means snow is very rare. Just imagine those stunning wedding pictures in the snow though… it can happen… Some of the winter weddings we have photographed had a much better weather than some summer weddings. Again… English weather, right?
Winter wedding choice
This is the reason why many couples say that they chose to get married during winter because you can’t actually guarantee a sunny summer wedding in the UK anyway. We have photographed many rainy summer weddings, trust us! They were truly awesome but very often venues are much cheaper during the winter months so you might as well go for this option if a good weather in the summer can’t be guaranteed.
Candle lit winter weddings
This is another reason why we love winter wedding photography – it is magical because of all the fairy lights, candles and all the cosiness. You can’t get this vibe in the summer at all. It gets dark very early, so the atmosphere is very intimate and magical too!
White winter wedding
In every season you can get some amazing wedding photo opportunities. We would really love to photograph a white winter wedding in the show though. That would truly be something. So far we have only managed to photograph some winter engagement shoots.
Wedding photographer choice
Be extra careful
If you are planning to get married in November, December, January or February, you have to be extra careful when choosing your wedding photographer. Not every photographer handles the winter light very well and the risk of not receiving beautiful winter wedding images can be quite high. Winter wedding photography can be quite tricky, especially for the new, inexperienced photographers.
Natural light photographers
Many photographers prefer to use the available natural light. In December it gets dark very early and very often photographers have to choose between the formal group pictures and the more artistic photos of the couple. And very often that beautiful golden light is just impossible to capture.
Off camera flash
That choice is very difficult and only has to be made when they find it really hard to operate the OCF. Ask them if they know the OCF (off camera flash) – that will be a great way of finding out if the job of capturing your wedding memories is in safe hands. Don’t worry – more and more photographers are getting better at mastering OCF – this is just an absolute necessity for winter wedding photography.
Your day will run smoothly
If your photographer knows how to use the off camera flash, the schedule of your wedding day can be much more flexible and the images can be more magical too. It all comes with the experience of course – it’s just really good to make sure the right photographer is capturing your winter wedding.
