Winter weddings are a different beast.

Dark by 3pm, cold, the weather rarely plays ball, and barely any natural light to lean on. But get them right and they’re some of the most atmospheric days you’ll ever shoot.

So here are 10 things I wish someone had told me 12 years ago - from pushing your ISO without fear, to bouncing flash, to stealing ten minutes in the dining room before the guests pile in.

Save it for the next one in your diary. And if I’ve missed something, drop it in the comments, sharing is caring yeah?!

So true although I’ve never dropped my shutter speed that low unless it’s on the dancefloor. I will give it a try! I love winter weddings 😍
