post-wedding session – 80 of the best photos of 2023
Outdoor wedding photography is one of the most beautiful and valuable souvenirs that can be created to immortalize this special time. This is not only an opportunity to capture those special moments, but also an opportunity to create beautiful memories for years to come. In today’s article, I would like to share with you my insights on outdoor wedding photography and present the best wedding photos of 2023.
Outdoor wedding photography
2023 was full of amazing moments and beautiful shots during outdoor sessions. I would like to present you with a gallery of 80 of the best photos I took this year. Each photo is unique and reflects the individuality of the bride and groom and their love.
Among these photographs are a variety of styles and themes – from romantic shots surrounded by nature to creative sessions inspired by art or film. Each photo tells its own story and captures the atmosphere of that special moment in the lives of the couples I had the great pleasure of photographing.
Trends in outdoor wedding sessions
Currently, there are many trends in wedding photography that are worth noting. One popular style that will probably never get boring for newlyweds and wedding photographers is nature-inspired sessions, where the bride and groom are surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Inspiration for brides and grooms-to-be
For brides and grooms-to-be planning their outdoor wedding session, I have some inspiration and ideas for capturing that special day. The first thing to consider is choosing a suitable location – it could be mountains, meadows, forest or just a piece of open space with a nice view and, above all, good light.
The location where your wedding photos will take place is chosen by you, but I will be happy to help you choose a place. You can search the Internet for interesting locations, but you can also choose a place with which you have a special connection. The best place for an outdoor wedding is usually one where you will feel comfortable 🙂
Post-wedding session- photographic gems in 2023
In 2023, I had the opportunity to take thousands of outdoor photos. I would now like to present a few dozen of them that particularly delighted me. Many of them were built in the mountains. Not only in the Tatra Mountains, but also in the Pieniny or Gorce Mountains.
Romantic shots surrounded by nature
Romantic outdoor shots are among the most popular and beautiful moments during a wedding session. I would like to present some examples of such photos that capture the magic of love and the beauty of nature.
One way to create a romantic atmosphere is to use natural light – the gentle rays of the sun or the warm lighting of the evening hour create a magical aura around the bride and groom.
post-wedding session at different times of the year
Outdoor wedding sessions can take place throughout the year, but each season has its own advantages and challenges. Spring offers flowering trees and delicate colors, summer provides warm light and beautiful sunsets, autumn is characterized by the golden leaves that a wedding session in the woods offers and winter offers the romantic aura of snow.
It’s important to prepare properly for a session in a given season – it’s a good idea to adjust your outfit to the weather conditions and choose the right scenery. In spring you can take advantage of the blooming orchards, in summer the mountains will be the perfect place, in autumn the parks full of golden leaves will be perfect for photos, and in winter you can capture the magic of snow.
How to prepare for an outdoor wedding session?
Preparing for an outdoor wedding session can be stressful, but a few simple tips can help make the experience more relaxing and enjoyable. First of all, it is worth taking care of the right outfit – it should be comfortable. In colder weather, it’s a good idea to wear warmers under your wedding dress and suit.
You should also remember to bring the necessary accessories – a bouquet of flowers or other decorative items. It is also important to leave room for spontaneity – some of the best shots are created when the bride and groom allow themselves to be natural and free.
