Weddings between the months of November and February (AKA Christmas Weddings) create a new set of challenges for both the bride and groom and their wedding photographer.

No matter what the Christmas wedding venue, no matter who the Christmas wedding photographer, nature has its way of throwing you some curve balls this time of year.

Daylight hours for one, with an average of only 8 hours of natural light per day available for your Christmas Wedding, plus a very real possibility of heavy cloud cover and/or rain trying really hard to put the dampeners on your Christmas Wedding, it is essential to plan your timings carefully and choose your Christmas wedding venue with particular consideration to the interior rather than the grounds.

The risk of clouds can and does put many people off, as common thinking dictates that we all want either a clear blue sky or beautiful Snow covered White Christmas Wedding.

In reality, the odds are that you will end up with something in between. Very few weddings per year have the benefit of so-called ideal conditions.

What people don’t often consider is that with a clear blue sky and the sun beaming down on you, shadows are a problem, a sweaty bride or groom never looks good and considering most Wedding Dresses and Suits consist of multiple layers – your Wedding Day can be steamy for all the wrong reasons!

On the other end of the scale, posing for pictures outdoors at this time of year can yield fantastic results, however you do run the risk of freezing you best bits off!

Any decent professional Christmas wedding photographer however will both make you feel comfortable and quickly get the best of what’s there to be had.

An experienced Christmas wedding photographer pays dividends in more difficult circumstances, allowing them to know quickly what will work and make the shoot flow naturally and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your very special day!

Depending on your personal preference, this time of year can actually lend itself incredibly well to Wedding photography, especially if you are into more artistic shots.

Heavily contrasting lighting creates incredibly emotional and fantastically moody looking wedding photographs. Often singled out as peoples favourites over the more traditionally styled images, our more artistic Christmas wedding photographs are highly regarded by all who see them, from both brides and grooms to friends and family.

We love allowing our creative and artistic flair to shine at this time of year, where other Christmas wedding photographers may struggle to make the most of the changeable conditions and limited space that indoor photography enforces, we enjoy rising to the challenge, benefitting from an intimate knowledge of most of the Christmas wedding venues that we regularly photograph at, including Frimley Hall, Cain Manor and Tylney Hall to name but a few!

Well formed clouds, raining or not, can create a beautiful backdrops to your wedding photographs.  

From the colours of Autumn to life a happy wedding couple inject into an otherwise lifeless backdrop, we love wedding photography in all seasons as no two are the same.

The number of variables on your wedding day are seemingly limitless and Christmas wedding photography can be some of the most challenging and therefore the most rewarding that we do every year!
