Maine & NH Wedding Photographer | Why I’m Obsessed With Winter Weddings

Listen, give me a couple who doesn’t mind a little frostbite and maybe even likes the idea of snowflakes in their hair, and I’m yours. December weddings hit different. I’ve got two coming up and honestly? I'm giddy like a kid who just found the hidden Christmas presents in the closet.

The Christmas Vibes Are Elite

Winter venues this time of year? They’re already decked out like they were sponsored by Hallmark. Twinkle lights, garlands, trees, candles… all the cozy vibes without anyone having to spend 47 hours decorating. My dark-and-moody heart thrives with all that warm light bouncing around.

Snow = Nature’s Glitter (The Good Kind)

We’re getting hammered with about 10 inches today, and I’m over here praying to the weather gods that Friday’s wedding comes with some fresh powder. Nothing hits quite like portraits in the snow—soft light, clean backgrounds, and that quiet little hush the world gets when it’s covered in white. Total badass vibes in photo form.

No One Is Melting (Including Me)

Summer weddings are great until you’re photographing vows while becoming a human puddle. Winter? Oh baby. No 9,000-degree heat. No sweating through your clothes. Just crisp air, rosy cheeks, and me not silently cursing the sun. Honestly, that alone is enough reason to make me a winter wedding evangelist.

The Chill Season Is Actually… Chill

This is my slower season. My editing queue is caught up. I’ve actually slept. Drank coffee while it was still hot. Took a breath without panicking. Winter weddings feel less chaotic—everyone moves a little slower, the timelines aren’t as jam-packed, and couples seem more relaxed because they’re not juggling a million outdoor variables.

My Studio-Lighting Goblin Era

Winter gives me an excuse to play with lights indoors even more than the summer weddings. Gimme a dark corner, a string of lights, and some creative freedom and I’m basically in my happy place. If it’s too cold for long outdoor portraits, no problem—I get to build some moody, dramatic scenes inside. And honestly? They slap every time.

At the End of the Day… I Just Love Winter Weddings

The mood, the weather, the couples who embrace it, the cozy venues, the slower pace—December weddings just feel special. They’re intimate, they're warm, they're freaking stunning on camera… and they let me come alive in a whole different way as a photographer.

So yes, I’m counting down the days to these upcoming weddings… and yes, I’m absolutely manifesting snow for at least one of them. Let’s do this, winter. I’m ready.
