Winter Wedding Inspo // MN // December 8, 2024 ✨✨✨
All the magical winter wedding vibes this last Sunday at The Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis, MN. ✨✨✨✨ 📸 To keep the natural low-light *mood* intact from this twinkly alley way — I exposed for the twinkly lights, and then hand held one of my godox flashes and used the steady light feature as a spotlight on my couple. Their wedding was entirely candlelit (✨CUE THE AMBIANCE✨) - so an overall moodier vibe than I’m known for, but still totally in line with the fact I’m a true-to-life wedding photographer. (( These are some quick same day Lightroom Mobile edits I delivered over dinner for them to take with them on their Disney honeymoon — I’ll have to share the final edits of these once we get into their full highlight. )) ✨✨✨Hewing Hotel @studiotwelve52

Winter weddings offer a unique charm, especially in snowy destinations like Minneapolis. The beauty of a winter wedding can be enhanced with thoughtful decor, layered clothing for guests, and options for seasonal floral arrangements. Consider incorporating natural elements such as pine, eucalyptus, and fresh flowers that reflect the winter theme. Lighting plays a critical role in establishing the right mood for your event. Utilize string lights, lanterns, or candlelight to create a warm, inviting atmosphere despite the chill outside. A candlelit setting not only adds romance but also feels cozy and intimate for your guests. Additionally, when planning a winter wedding, keep in mind potential weather-related issues. It may be wise to have contingency plans for an outdoor ceremony or reception. Consider using a heated tent or a venue that offers indoor options to ensure guest comfort. Lastly, working with a talented photographer who understands the nuances of low-light photography is essential. They can capture the stunning moments you might miss in the ambiance, preserving the magic of your special day.
