landlocked bride™ | midwest + mountain west wedding inspiration

It’s still Winter; it’s still pretty cold.  And, although all of our six inches of snow from last week melted away because of our recent “heat wave” (it was 45, don’t worry), I know it’s still a bit colder and snowy-er (yes, technical term) up North.

Zeidler Photography, a St. Paul/Minneapolis photographer, recently blogged an engagement session she shot, with some of the images indoors and others out in the snow.  I couldn’t resist not sharing with you.  Many brides-to-be are none to thrilled to have a winter engagement session, but you can really have some fun with it.  I urge more couples to go the Winter route!

I appreciate that they used an older sled.  There are too many of those plastic ones out there (I know, you can go fast on them, I get it). Something about the vintage-y sled just gives those pictures character.

I LOVE hot chocolate, so of course I think those shots are adorable!

So the holidays are upon us, and I just love Christmas (mostly for reasons like snow, Christmas trees and Christmas lights and Mint M&Ms).  I wanted to share this winter wedding with you all, as the cool air (and snow, whether you like it or not), is just around the corner.

The candles in the snow creates a gorgeous, warm light. (The image on the right is of “snow” from area mountains). And, the berry crumble bites look delicious and festive! And, I big puffy heart the snowmen photo booth. It’s adorable without being too cliche.
