Thinking of a winter wedding? Well why not?

Weddings in winter ensures that more number of guests would attend your ceremony as more people could attend as they’re not on summer holidays and it’s also just a slower time of year (what better excuse to have a great celebration when the days are dull and short). All the wedding planners, photographers and caterers are easily available due to it being a quieter time of year, unless you go for a Christmas time wedding. You could pick a really cosy reception venue and have a warming winter theme as the table plans/decorations.

The biggest downside is that flowers could be a little expensive during the winter as there are very few seasonal flowers during winters. But if you choose a seasonal flower then it’ll be cheaper for you, trying to get Daisies or a summer flower in November will obviously put the costs up due to the florist having to buy them in on demand.

Now, think of winter and you probably think of “Brrrrrr it’s cold” but try to think of cuddling up with your partner when it’s raining outside. Winter is the most romantic time of the year to exchange your wedding vows. It would be even nicer with snow falling all around you (but the chances are pretty slim) and fireplace adding warmth to your new relationship. A beautifully cosy way to start your new life together.

Your dress can be pretty much the same as a summer outfit, just add a shawl or something to cover the shoulders while travelling in the wedding car for the location change. The dresses may even be cheaper out of season but that of course all depends on your supplier.

If you do get lucky and it starts to snow, grab your photographer (if they’re still there) and run outside to play. You’ll have so much fun and it’ll add a magical touch to your special day. Everyone there will have fond memories of the day it snowed on your wedding…Provided Great Aunt Mildred didn’t slip and break a hip so please be careful!

So a winter wedding…not such a bad idea after all eh?

Although I just missed the actual date I just wanted to wish Shelley and Ed Cook a very happy anniversary.

They were married Colwick Hall Hotel in Nottingham. A stunning place to take wedding photos. Fantastic grounds to the rear for lovely family photos and then a classic look out the front for dramatic, moody shots.

Everyone had a great time and has to be one of easiest weddings I’ve ever photographed. Everyone was so relaxed from start to finish (even the bride!)

You can view a sample of their portfolio in the photo gallery here

A huge thanks to Shell & Ed for having me as their wedding photographer. It’s always an honour to be chosen as the wedding photographer but when the weddings are like this it makes a real joy.

Continuing from the previous tribute, Uptheighttree photography captured another photo of the Red Arrows in action during Falmouth week 2011*

“It’s a nice break to be photographing these brave and talented pilots” said the Photographer. “Trying to capture the cross over is the hardest shot to get but so rewarding when you get sch an amazing photo”

Thoughts go to Flt LT Jon Egging’s family, friends and of course the rest of the Red Arrows team. Thank you Jon for all the amazing air displays.
