I Love Winter Weddings!
I love winter weddings because the quality of sunlight is better than any other time of year. The sun is lower in the sky creating a warmer and more flattering light. The sun is at a lower angle and actually closer to the earth than in summer, but since the days are shorter it is not warmer.
Thanks to astrophotographer and book author, Jerrry Lodriguss, a former Inquirer sports photographer. See his web-site and visit his blog.
My assistant, Dave, shot this incredibly romantic photo during their first dance.
