50 Stunning Winter Wedding Photos

Summer weddings may be cheerful and bright, but there really isn’t anything more magical than a winter wedding.

Place a bride and groom in the picture, and the romance of the scenery is instantly dramatized. A chilly winter photo session may not sound like a cozy cup of hot chocolate, but the resulting white-washed fairytale photos are completely worth it.
