Even with living in the midwest, we still can’t always count on snow in the winter. So, when we do get the perfect weather, we like to go outside and play.
A lot of brides planning weddings for the cold months hope to have a least a few photographs in a white wonderland of snow. Couples who love winter think January would be perfect for snowy outdoor engagement sessions.
Our advice is to dress for the weather! If you plan to be outside for your portrait session or wedding, bring your coat. We don’t have to use it in the photographs, but you will be much more comfortable if you stay warm between shots. Even brides should wear a coat or have a heavy wrap. Thin shawls are great for inside, but won’t keep away the cold when moving to outdoor photography locations.
Also, consider ditching the cute heels for the outdoor portion of your session, maybe opting for pretty, but practical, boots. Frozen toes from snow in your shoes is not fun, nor is slipping in the snow and ice. If you must wear those heels, you could always carry them and change into them right before the photographs.
Enjoy the snow and stay warm!
