Winter wedding photography is a Colorado wedding photographer’s dream! The sunset hits earlier, the lights are naturally softer, and there’s less humidity to deal with. Plus we get to capture all the stunning seasonal details that only winter weddings have to offer! It’s true, winter weddings have a lot to offer—and winter wedding photography certainly ranks toward the top of my favorite images.

Allese and Daniel got a stunning gallery from their big day, complete with the perfect dusting of snow. Even their dogs got in on the action! The bride’s beautiful gown featured a delicate sleeve just lovely in it’s details, which also provided a little extra warmth during those gorgeous snowy shots. If you’re looking to create the winter wedding of your dreams, I have a few more tips and tricks for pulling it off… including some love for a good sleeve like these!

Maybe we’re too far into the season for a winter wedding this year, but you don’t need to give up on winter wedding photography. Actually, the more time you have to prepare for a winter wedding, the better! Considering things like weather contingencies and navigating holiday bookings with your venue and vendors can take time. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it! Need some help getting started? I’ve got all the factors you’ll want to consider here.

Want the winter wedding photography without the big winter wedding? There are plenty of perfectly snowy places to elope in Colorado. A small celebration might be just the thing for the day of your dreams, without worrying about winter weather, canceled flights or road closures. Even without all the guests, your magical mountain images will last a lifetime!

I know, sometimes a winter wedding can seem daunting. Especially when you’re used to spring florals, sunny cocktails and summertime treats. But we all have our favorite traditions around the winter holidays, right? Imagine how fun it can be to incorporate those happy times into your wedding day! Trade the fruity iced beverages for a hot chocolate bar or some warm apple cider. Trade sunglasses and throw-away flip-flops for soft, flannel blankets to keep your guests snuggled up. Not feeling a winter wedding cake? Try custom sugar cookies or cozy s’mores instead.

Let’s talk! I’d love to hear your vision and make your wedding-day dreams come true.

Autumn wedding photography is absolutely stunning. I know we typically think of summer as the traditional wedding season, but did you know it’s no longer the most popular season to tie the knot? It’s true! According to a study by TheKnot.com, nearly half of the 10,000 couples surveyed got married between September and November last year, solidifying fall as the new reigning peak of wedding season.

Kasey and Keegan planned a beautiful elopement in late September, timed perfectly with prime fall foliage in the mountains. Talk about gorgeous autumn wedding photography! What a joy it was to witness their love, first look, private vows and all of the stunning little details put in place for this day.

Fall weddings (and autumn wedding photography!) are certainly on the rise—with no signs of slowing down! According to recent data, 36% of couples got married between September and November in 2019, followed by 40% of couples in 2021 and 43% in 2022.

So why are fall weddings growing in popularity? Likely factors include more predictable weather, and more favorable temperatures that aren’t too hot or too cold. There’s also a lull between summer vacations and winter holidays that make fall an ideal time to tie the knot. Not to mention the beautiful foliage and colors of harvest that set the perfect tone for autumn wedding photography!

Planning your own autumn wedding? Let’s get pinning! Start with your favorite fall comfort foods and drinks, then move to elements that will create a cozy atmosphere… think string lights, fire pits, or snuggly blankets to wrap around your guests at the reception. Ready to think flowers? Try finding arrangements that compliment the season’s naturally-occurring hues. (Dahlias, marigolds, and zinnias are all in full bloom!) Spice up your centerpieces with accents like pumpkins and gourds, or use fresh autumnal fruits like apples, pears and pomegranates. Those will all be in season (and readily available), too!

If you’re a fall 2025 bride, let’s talk. Autumn dates fill up quickly! But all the moments captured remind me exactly why I love this season as a wedding and portrait photographer.
