Winter weddings might be cold, but they’re full of great photo opportunities! If you’re getting married this winter or next, these 10 wedding photo ideas can capture the spirit and beauty of your upcoming winter event.
Wedding Amongst the Trees
Imagine a quiet forest blanketed in snow. You and your spouse walk hand-in-hand, stepping carefully over rugged terrain. All is quiet. You can feel the wind blow over your hair. You’re walking through a winter wonderland. This classic image is the quintessential winter wedding photo.
Mismatched Boots
You and other members of the wedding party will no doubt show up to the wedding in snow boots. Have your photographer capture images of your mismatched boots on the sidewalk in front of the church. Scuffs, wet spots and city dirt on boots serve as an artistic reminder of the beauty and difficulty that winter weather and relationships generally can bring. This picture will help you forever remember what it was like to get married this winter season.
Romantic Winter Fog
Winter fog doesn’t have to ruin your wedding photography! Position yourself in front of a tree, mountain or building obscured by fog. Next, kiss your spouse-to-be for this special shot. You’ll delight in how fog adds a misty, surreal quality to your photographs, while also suppressing the background and making it easier to focus on the central characters in the picture: you and your spouse.
Streetlamp, Snow and Stunning Beauty
Next time it’s snowing on a chilly winter day, grab your loved one, your photographer and your wedding outfit. Sneak a romantic kiss with your spouse-to-be under a lit streetlamp. For great results, position a historic building in the background. Now that’s romance!
Bridge Over Icy Water
Know where you can find a lovely creek and a foot bridge? Bridges and water make the perfect backdrop for your winter wedding photo. Hold your loved one’s hand in the falling snow, peer over the footbridge, contemplate the icy water beneath.
Cabin in the Woods
Are you renting a cabin in the woods for your special day? Nothing is more beautiful than a rustic image of a couple surrounded by snow, standing in front of their cabin in a remote area. Hold your loved one’s hand and look at the photographer, glowing with joy.
Ski Lift Fun
Are you getting married at a ski resort? You’re in luck! Ski lifts make fabulous settings for wedding photographs. Get dressed up in your finery and head for the slopes. Take your photographer with you for a funny, fun image of you and your spouse to be, riding a ski lift into the skies.
Romantic Christmas Trees
Go to a tree lot and stand among the beautiful Christmas trees. Capture an image of Christmas lights in the foreground or the background. Tease your spouse. And laugh like you’ve been touched by the Christmas spirit.
Umbrellas
It rains a lot in winter. So if it rains on your special day, have your photographer take a shot of all those umbrellas leaning against the wall. Stand in the background, in your wedding finery, in the minutes before the wedding begins.
