Seasonal Timing Tips

Portrait & Timing Tips for: WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER & AUTUMN

WINTER

Winter weddings are gorgeous! However, they do take some additional planning simply because of the sunset time. The hard part about a winter timeline is the fact that the sun sets around 4pm. This means that all of your portraits have to be done before then. This isn’t a problem if you’re having an early afternoon wedding. If you are considering a later wedding then it is worth planning out your location(s) for your formal and creative photos.

SUMMER

Summer weddings are amazing! I love that there is so much daylight! In some months, the light will last until 8:30pm. So, if you’re having a summer wedding, you’ll need to plan on having a few minutes to slip out of the reception for your sunset portraits. You will NOT regret this! This is the absolute best light of the day and you’re going to want to have portraits during this time period. Usually these portraits happen before the evening party or during open dancing so that no one even notices that you’re gone for a few minutes!

SPRING

Spring weddings are wonderful because they are the perfect temperature! However, I recommend having plenty antihistamines to hand just in case allergies start to flare up during portrait time. Spring weddings normally mean the potential for some blooms. If we happen to find any type of blooming tree or plant, it will be worth it to give us a few minutes for portraits with it. You’ll LOVE the results!

AUTUMN

Autumn weddings are my favourite! I love the temperature and the colours. Most of my autmunal brides worry about colour, and I just want to encourage you that all I need is one tree with some colour in order to make it look like autumn! A little bit of colour can go a long way. Your portrait time will vary depending on your wedding date. We’ll be sure to discuss this when we approve your final timeline.
