What to look for when choosing your winter wedding photographer

  • Low light wedding photography
A photographer who is capable at using flash
Over the winter months there is less daylight therefore it is essential to know that your photographer can work in low light. This means being to use flash, both on-camera and off-camera flash to deliver the very best photos for your wedding.
Twilight wedding portraits
There is limited time to capture to capture your wedding portraits, often the days dstart to draw to a close from 15:00 hours. Although I limit the number of portraits I take of you both, during winter weddings time is valuable. Therefore it is an advantage to be able to take fantastic twilight portraits of you as the light fades or even in the dark.
Being organised and able to work to a schedule
Before each wedding it is essential to have a meeting with your wedding photographer. This is especially so over the winter months. Before your wedding I take time to consult with you and discuss the timimngs of your wedding day to ensure you have the photos you want.
Being able to add indoor storytelling to your wedding gallery
Whilst your winter wedding limits your time outdoors, the excitement and emotions iof yoour big day will continue indoors. Therefore it is essential to hire a photographer who specialises in capturing all the key candid moments. A photographer who is creative and critical with camera timings will deliver a gallery full of all the fun, tears, laughter, and excitment of your wedding day.
A photographer who can manage unforseen circumstances
On wintery days the weather can change quickly and dramatically. During these times it is essential to have a photographer who can change plans and work accordingly. When taking photographs they can quickly change locations and adapt to different lighting and weather scenarios.
Capturing amazing portraits of you both even when the light falls.
