Have you ever thought about how the season you choose for your wedding can add a unique touch to your photos? Each season brings its own magic, and as your photographers, we’re here to help you make the most out of your seasonal wedding photography. So let’s dive into the seasonal characteristics that can transform your wedding photography.
Spring is a time of renewal, and what better way to start a new chapter of your life together? Think blooming flowers, gentle sunlight, and a soft colour palette or rosey pinks and sage greens. A good tip: Use the natural beauty of spring as a backdrop – from cherry blossoms (our favourite) to lush green gardens. And let’s not forget about those soft, dreamy spring sunsets that make for perfect, romantic portraits.
Summer weddings are all about vibrancy and fun. We’re talking longer days, which means more golden hours for those perfect sun-kissed photos. But, here’s the deal with summer: here in the uk it can get uncomfortably hot and humid and the midday sun can be harsh. This is why we always recommend scheduling couple shots during the early morning if possible or late afternoon for that lovely, soft light.
We really do love autumn weddings! The beautiful earthy colours, the cool fresh air after a hot summer, the golden light – it’s a wedding photographer’s dream. Autumn light seems to have a certain softness that flatters everyone, like a soft golden hour. We can really capture the essence of this beautiful season in your photos by making the most of the natural tapestry of oranges, reds, and browns. Imagine yourselves walking hand in hand amidst fallen leaves or snuggled together against the backdrop of a warm, amber sunset!
Winter brings a whole different vibe – cozy, intimate, and sometimes (although not very often here in the uk) a snowy wonderland. Yes, the days are shorter which brings its own challenges, but the lighting can be incredibly flattering. We can capture the romance of a snowy or frosty landscape or the warmth and ambience of an indoor candlelit setting. And if it’s an overcast day, the soft diffused light is perfect for those moody shots – see our blog on Natural Light!
No matter the season, flexibility is key. Weather can be unpredictable, but that shouldn’t dampen your spirits. As your photographer, we’re equipped to adapt to whatever the day may bring and scope out those unique opportunities for stunning photos.
Each season offers its own unique characteristics and opportunities for beautiful wedding photography. Embracing the season of your chosen wedding date will help set the scene for your special day and help to tell your story.
