Autumn weddings are simply beautiful and your wedding photography
can create timeless memories marking your beautiful wedding in your
beautiful surrounds. By using the natural autumn lighting and scenery
your wedding will be simply divine.
Times:
The first thing to remember is that an autumn sunset can be absolutely
magical with the gorgeous orange and red hues from the sun bouncing off
the fallen leaves. Look up the time the sun will begin to set on your
wedding day and plan around that.
The sun will be beginning to set earlier in the day and you want to make
sure you have the optimal times for gorgeous photography before you
lose your light for the day. You want to take full advantage of what
Mother Nature has to offer.
Scenery:
Scout your wedding location before the big day. Take your partner on a
stroll around the vicinity and find some beautiful places to take
photos. Are there any large trees around? Mark them out in a planner and
take note of the leaves beginning to fall. Imagine your wedding
photography and what it could look like in available space and with the
gorgeous scenery.
The week before your wedding go back again and see how things have
changed with the autumn leaves falling and the gorgeous sunset lighting.
It’s amazing how different a place can look in a different season and
you want to be fully prepared before the day.
Weather Changes:
As the sun is setting earlier and the temperature is cooling you’ll want
to be fully prepared with a gorgeous wrap or shawl to cover your
shoulders so you don’t get chilly taking your scenic photography or even
at the reception. It’s not necessary that you wear the shawl during
your ceremony if you don’t want to, but make sure you’re prepared for
the cooler evenings. The last thing you want to feel on your wedding day
is cold!
Themes:
If you’re having an autumn wedding you may like to match your theme with
your chosen season. Having a rustic look with robin egg blue or a
gorgeous bronze and brown coupled with natural tortured willow and
seasonal fruits will suit your wedding to a tee and enhance all of the
natural beauty of the season.
