Christmas Wedding Advice From Denver Wedding Photographer

Denver, CO - Matt Kelly, Ambisuite Weddings’ Denver, CO wedding photographer, has years of experience photographing winter and Christmas weddings and he has acquired some valuable techniques for getting great photos during the holidays.

Christmas Decorations: Plan out how to use Christmas décor in your pictures, advises Kelly, a Colorado photographer. Couples frequently like to have photographs of themselves posing or kissing in front of a Christmas tree or wreath - and can make use of the mistletoe, as well. Nothing creates a joyful glow like Christmas lights, so consider how to optimize them for the best photos. Don’t limit the lights to trees and walls, either. Other locations such as the ceiling can create a beautiful ambiance. Candles are another Christmasy touch to bring light to your venue. Ice sculptures, often with light shining on them, are another popular option. Don't forget that light is an essential element of winter weddings since the days are so much shorter.

Photograph the Décor: When you exert so much time and effort in planning your decorations, you want to be sure your photographer captures the Christmasy touches such as lights, candles, garlands, and Christmas ornaments. Couples often beautify their ceremony or reception locales with garlands, wreaths, or Christmas trees. Kelly, a Denver, CO wedding planning expert, advises: "You spend so much time planning your décor, be sure to get photos to help you remember it."

Winter Setting: If your wedding day has snow on the ground, take advantage of it with outside photos. Shots of couples posing in the snow are particularly stunning and romantic. But take into account that winter days are shorter, and you-ll need to take outdoor photographs early in the day. On the other hand, nighttime photographs will give you a chance to capture Christmas lights reflecting on the snow, observes the Colorado wedding photography consultant.

Color Scheme: Kelly, a Colorado wedding photographer, recommends, "The loveliest weddings allow you to obtain the loveliest photographs." Christmas weddings offer a built-in color scheme, including red dresses for bridesmaids and bouquets with red flowers – especially poinsettias. Other Christmas color options that are popular with couples include dark green, silver, and gold.

If your wedding will take place in an area that will likely have snow, it can really enhance your photos, says Kelly, a Denver, CO wedding planner. Snow makes buildings and trees seem softer, conveys a sense of peace, and those pictures of brides and grooms wandering in the snow can be striking.
