Winter is a great time for a wedding. A cosy venue has more appeal during Winter as everyone settles in nicely after dark. I’m often asked what the potential is for good wedding photography during Winter. Obviously the darker evenings and colder weather might seem like drawbacks but winter is a great time for atmospheric shots.

The first thing I look for before taking any photograph is good light. Because of the low Winter sun, you can get really dramatic warm light during Winter. You also get strong directional light which makes for great shots. When the daylight is gone, I use warm additional lighting which helps to pull out that special atmosphere. I have posted a selection of Winter shots in the show below. This is best viewed full screen (the multi-arrow icon on the far right of the controls):
