The Warmth of Winter

Convinced you’re totally sick of winter? One look at Kristen + Aaron’s engagement photos will have you quickly deciding winter is hands-down your favorite season. I thought I was ready for winter’s end, but as I look at these photos, I find myself singing aloud “let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”

While photographs in winter can often bring a chill to your bones, photographer Genevieve Georget of Fifteen:Fifty-One Photography from Ottawa, Ontario, created a setting that looks so incredibly cozy and welcoming. And really proves that all you need is love to keep you warm. Doesn’t it look like Kristen + Aaron could stay cuddled up on the couch forever, no matter what the weather is doing around them? I’m sure it helped that Kristen had superbly warm-looking (but still totally chic) boots on and a cozy white sweater that matches the scenery. And Aaron was bundled up in his wool coat. Unfortunately, Genevieve wasn’t as lucky and she ended up with a frost-bitten ear during the shoot! All in the name of love, right?

The Christmas balls hanging over the couch give the look of a mini winter wonderland made for just this couple. Don’t forget to check out the bride’s nails; her pink french manicure is to die for!

Kristen + Aaron are getting married in August at a waterfront-winery, which means their engagement photos and wedding photos will be two very different sets of pictures. See? Their love lasts all year-round through any weather.

Wow, these are great! How creative, this photographer went all out – the sofa, the sparkly balls – very nice!

This spread is only as it should be. True and amazing talent always shines through. A beautiful couple displayed amazingly by an awesomely talented photographer. Very well done Gen.

I absolutely love every one of these photos. Attractive couple, great outfits, fantastic props – love the sparkly Xmas ornaments… great idea! Like the couch too :)

Marilyn

Stunning photos shot by an amazing talent.

Albert

A great looking couple captured in the beautiful Canadian outdoors. Must have been a lot of heat on the set because the couple looked extremely cozy…I was looking for the fireplace but it is invisible!

Very talented photographer not only to create this concept but also capture the emotion. Sorry to hear about the frostbite! I can tell this is just the start of a brilliant career.

Exquisite eye Blueberry Wedding Blog.

Beautiful article and pictures… possibly some of my favourite from Gen’s collection. I think the ornaments are a creative touch to these amazing pictures. I’d definitely consider a winter wedding after seeing these. Great job Gen!!!

Heather

Gen has a way of capturing the soul, spirit and personalities of all whom she photographs. Intimate moments. Her composition is exquisite and her timing is perfect!

Jim

What wonderful photographs! My absolute favorite is the one with Kristen partially hidden by and looking over Aaron’s shoulder. I can just hear the kids now, “Mom, is that really you”.

Congrats on the feature Gen. You’re truly amazing :)

Cathy

The photos are beautiful and inspiring, just like the person who took them.

Louise

Gorgeous images! I love the colours and textures in the shots. They paint a magical mood and feeling.

Ella Rose

This is an excellent photo shoot! I absolutely love the Christmas ornaments hanging from the tree – what a unique idea – LOVE it.

Mélanie

I’m already a big fan of Gen’s work and everytime I see a new set of pictures I get excited. This time it gave me the goosebumps!!! Love the contrast of the white snow and the blue jeans! Love Love Love

To the blueberry wedding blog,
Thank you for celebrating the talent of a creative friend that I have long admired. Gen’s passion for visual storytelling is so inspiring! So proud of you Gen! Aaron and Kristen look amazing!

Your opening sentence was perfect. A photo shoot like this is really a total paradigm shift for most of us thinking about winter and weddings. Having my anniversary on June 25th, I can tell you that over the years I have met countless people with the same anniversary. It’s the 80/20 rule once again. 80% of the couples pick 20% of the dates… so in the year where the 25th is a Saturday, the chances of getting a good hall, a good DJ and a great photographer like Gen are completely out of the question and you pray for a cancellation….that is unless you’re booking 2 or 3 years out… and who does that these days. On the other hand this February 26th, just about every hall north of the Mason Dixon line will be empty, and most of those wedding planners, DJs and Photographers will be open.

It’s also eye opening to see truly just how Beautiful Winter can be. Have you ever been to Niagara Falls in the winter. Hands down way more pretty than the summer. The ice crystals that form every where are a wonder of nature. So it is with these shots… so much beauty around to see. These are only engagement photos but Kristen and Aaron got it right, the spectacular beauty frames this wonderful couple like no summer shot can. As many of us get older we get sucked in by the false popularity of complaining of the doldrums of winter…slush, driving and cold, which blinds us to the spectacular beauty of winter, that given the gifted eye of Gen behind the lends captures it all for an eternity.
