Why you should consider a winter wedding
As a wedding photographer based in the Inland/Pacific Northwest, I've had the privilege of capturing countless love stories against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and frost-kissed landscapes. While the beauty of a summer wedding is undeniable, there's something truly special about saying "I do" in the crisp cold of winter. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy ceremony in a snow-covered forest or an elegant day in a historic venue dusted with powdery soft snow, here are just a few reasons why winter weddings are a BEAUTIFUL option for your perfect day.
let's get cozy!
If you've ever worked with me, you know I LOVE the word cozy. I want you and your love to cozy up to one another. I want you to get cozy on the sofa during your engagement photos, or be cozy in that booth. Having a winter wedding makes it so easy to be cozy! Think about all of the accessories and jackets that you can add to your wedding day look that add fun texture and warm vibes even when it's freezing outside. Between the endless hype I'm throwing your way, and the love you have for your partner, you'll barely even notice the cold.
Availability
If you're currently planning a wedding, you'll know just how quickly some of your favorite vendors book up! Because summer is usually our busy season, getting married in the winter could actually provide the unique opportunity to work with your favorite wedding vendors during their off season, making it easier to secure all of your favorites!
Do it for the memories!
Picture this: the snow is softly falling outside the window while you say "I do" to the love of your life. You are announced as married, and make your way outside to fresh powder on the ground, a crisp chill in the air, and little snowflakes landing perfectly on your cheeks while I follow you around and capture every single memory. Doesn't that sound dreamy?! Then, you can switch gears, and have a snowball fight, go sledding in your wedding outfits, or just dance around in the snow. No matter what, you know these memories are going to last you a lifetime.
Your Winter Wedding is waiting
Trust me, I know the idea of a winter wedding may seem unconventional. But it has the potential to be a stunning, intimate, romantic, breathtaking event! Whether you're picturing a quiet lodge in the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest or dreaming of a snowy escape in a far-off destination, I hope you consider the magic of a winter wedding as you plan your special day. I mean, there's really never a BAD time to celebrate this next chapter of your love story, right?
