We all know peak wedding season in Minnesota (and most of the country) is May – October BUT you should not overlook winter weddings! Madelyn + Trevor decided on a winter wedding and I can tell you, the day was stunning!

Madelyn + Trevor were such a delight to photograph. These two laugh 24/7 and just want to have fun which is what their entire wedding day was full of. When you look at the photos, you can see the pure love and happiness in their smiles.

When it came to shooting their winter wedding, we made sure to have plenty of inside locations to allow us to stay warm. We did venture outside to get a few snowy photos, Madelyn had a gorgeous shawl to keep her warm. There is no reason to be afraid of a December wedding and it can make your day (and photos) unique! 

Benefits of a winter wedding

• Venues are more affordable. Since this is not peak season, venues have off-season pricing which can allow you to have your dream venue at a fraction of the cost.
• Vendor availability – Your vendors likely won’t be booked solid like they are during peak season. 
• Snow is a stunning photo op. When done right, snow can be a sparkling backdrop for absolutely stunning photos! 
• Dark color schemes are in. Do you like moody, unique colors? Dark greens, navy and maroon wedding colors are perfect for winter weddings.
