I had the HONOR of being my good friend and sorority "little"'s wedding photographer this past November. Not only does she have great taste in photographers, but has great taste in wedding colors/themes! CHRISTMAS! Amanda and Ryan - you two are meant to be and I wish you both the best!

I am so late on this blog post- this winter season has been NUTS! I had the HONOR of being my good friend and sorority "little"'s wedding photographer this past November.

There are tons of advantages to getting married in the fall:

Gorgeous foliage

Typically temperate weather

Lots of seasonally-inspired décor

Possible off-season discounts to take advantage of

Plus, because peak wedding season is waning in most parts of the country, it may be easier for you to book your venue on a specific date or get your first choice of vendors.

However, there are some disadvantages to be aware of:

As we've mentioned, autumn weather can be variable, not to mention even cold, rainy, or snowy on the East Coast!
Fall holidays can cause potential date conflicts

Daylight Savings Time ends, which means some states will experience a really early sunset (and that could affect the timing of your wedding ceremony and photos!)

Be sure to check with your photographer about the earlier sunset's infamous "golden hour." This is the prime time to take outdoor wedding photos, and it's worth planning your ceremony around.
