As the leaves begin to change, Halloween decorations start appearing on doorsteps, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, the world transforms itself into the perfect setting for a wedding.
A time of the year rife with American tradition and characterized by crisp, cool weather, it's a great season to celebrate a union without carrying the cliche of a June date, or having to compete with more major holidays like Christmas.
Fall holidays and traditions bring a heightened sense of home, family and fun, taking a wedding from simply romantic to memorable and inclusive.
The colors of the season provide a warm and welcoming color palette to work within, and the natural influences of autumn give you a great reason for a rustic setting.
Traditional reception locations can be replaced with settings like an old inn or schoolhouse, a refurbished barn, or a historical home.
For a more formal or indoor setting, the accoutrements of fall can bring the outdoors in-sheaths of wheat, berries and bright foliage can compliment flower arrangements in a tasteful way.
In addition to the warm, autumnal jewel colors, metallics like gold and bronze can highlight dresses, cakes and décor for a sparkling evening-the ambience can be equally inspired by the season with the natural lighting of a fireplace or candle luminaries.
With warm colors and natural, golden lighting, a photographer's job is made is easy.
The beautiful setting that autumn offers to a bride and groom translates into classic pictures, reflecting the love of the couple and the tradition of the season.
