December Weddings

While the winter weather doesn't always cooperate, sometimes - like last weekend - we're able to take bridal parties outside for photos, even in December. BlackBird Images photographed a wedding just outside Harrisonburg and were able to take pre-ceremony and post-ceremony photos outdoors. Light in the winter is typically softer than in the summer, and with a little care we can easily create a nice "glow" in the photos. Here's the bride before the ceremony on the steps outside the church.

We took some post-ceremony bridal party photos inside as well (as we normally always do, if for no other reason than to create a greater variety of proofs for the couple to choose from), but we welcomed the chance to go outside. We always come prepared to work outside, even in the winter. (Click here to visit our website for more info on Our Approach.)

And as you can see, the results were great. If you're planning a winter wedding, take the opportunity to slip outside, even if it's just for a few quick photographs.
