Bride Wedding Photography in the Cold

Bride Wedding Photography in the Cold

With this cold snap hitting us, even the European  WC football stars are wrapped up, I thought it would be a good idea to blog about some stay warm during the photo shoot ideas.  I suppose the warmest idea would be stay indoors!

Firstly your photographer needs light in order to take photos, and your wedding portraits take around 1.5 hours,  so a 4pm wedding service leaves little time in winter for photos, so start wedding early, 3pm is ample time in winter. Earlier is warmer :-)

You will be outdoors, so have someone hold a jacket  or blanket for you, one you can slip in and out of quickly with out messing with your makeup and hair.  If your dress is full length, slip on a pair of tracksuit pants under  your dress. Wear takkies this will also help you walk around on the uneven grass for your photo shoot. Take your time between shots to get warm, blue lips and shivering will ruin your photos!

Lastly winter sunsets are spectacular, try and incorporate the sunset into your photo shoot

Jemma’s 21st Birthday Party

This past weekend I was  a 21st photographer at the St Georges hotel in Pretoria Gauteng, which it a fantastic venue!  Jemma’s theme was the Oscars  everyone dressed to kill, red carpet and huge party. I love photographing birthdays and events these is far less pressure than at a wedding Thanks Jemma I had a blast.

Carisha and Sean’s Engagement Shoot

Here are some photos from our engagement photo shoot,  I keep stressing how important this is, the Engagement shoot is not really about getting engagement photos but rather about bridal couple and photographer bonding.  We spent the morning at the Pretoria botanical gardens

Oh and to all you Bride to be, Carisha supplies wedding dresses at great prices, check it out http://www.bride-zilla.net/.
