Bye Bye Snow

I often get questions about shooting weddings in winter, whether the bride will stand out from the surrounding scenes she's in. It got me wondering, why all the questions? Many inexperienced photographers starting out might make the mistake of not opening up their exposure when shooting in snow. Thus getting gray images instead of white with detail.

Here's a tip brides, if you can see the difference with your eyes, so will the camera. Don't worry about whether red flowers will stand out against a red dress - if you can see them in real life, so will the camera. Not everything like flowers and dresses need to be complementary colors. Working in the same color range is perfectly acceptable, and often beautiful.

These questions brought me to a challenge, shooting snow to show just how subtle the colors can get, with the wonderful gradations from one delicate tone to another. It got me into looking at snow in a new light....

The best kind of light....
