As a Maryland wedding photographer, couples are always asking me when’s best to have a wedding. Weddings are beautiful in every season, but in my opinion, you’ll love hosting your wedding in Maryland in the fall. I put together my own list for why you should definitely say “yes” in autumn.
Changing Fall Leaves
First and most obviously, if you’re looking for those colorful backdrops of burnt orange, red, and gentle greens, you won’t want to miss Maryland in the fall. We have the most incredible fall foliage here on the east coast, and the changing fall leaves are going to amp up your wedding photos. I feel like the changing colors add extra flair to your big day.
Fall Weather for an Outdoor Ceremony
Everybody knows the height of wedding season is in summer, but one thing that many brides forget is the extent of the summer heat and humidity in Maryland! Many couples hope for an indoor/outdoor wedding, but sitting during vows in July can be unbearable. For a more comfortable outdoor ceremony, try setting your date in early fall, when the weather is just starting to change. Your guests will thank you when it’s a comfortable 65 degrees.
Fall Color Palettes For Maryland In The Fall
Next, color palettes in fall go way beyond the “traditional” colors. And while we love the earth tones and browns often associated with fall, it’s also a great season to show off maroon, mustard, or even blue and gray. Fall colors complement both gold and silver equally, too, so you can really show off your own style.
Early Sunsets
As a Maryland wedding photographer, part of my job is making sure you get the wedding portraits of your dreams. Which, in most seasons, means that I have to briefly interrupt your celebration to get those golden hour shots. But in fall, the sun sets earlier in the day! So usually I can grab the two of you for pictures before your reception starts—making your wedding day schedule way easier.
