winter e-pics?

[Deleted User]

So FI and I have been living in Buffalo for the past year, and we will finally be moving back in December!! (very excited)
We want to use our E-Pics for our STDs, and want to send those out by February(mostly oot guests).
I spoke to my photographer and she says although she usually stops e-shoots around this time for warm/cool weather, she would do it.  FI and I do enjoy the cool/colder weather so I had said as long as she was comfortable doing it we would like to do it when we come back.
Now as I am thinking about it, I have no idea what I would wear. I dont want to have to layer so much to where we look like the stay-puff marshmallow man! Any suggestions or ideas? Or should I just push them back a bit?I know I have a bit of time to think about it, but I was just worrying now!  TIA

I think you could do some really cute winter e-pics (especially if you have them taken once there's snow on the ground)!  I envision peacoats with a cute scarf and matching gloves (or no gloves).  Or you could just wear sweaters with or without a scarf and gloves.  Or you could do a few of both types of shots.  Maybe you could even have a few shots of the two of you having a fake snowball fight or making snow angels or a snowman.

The only thing I'd keep in mind is the fact that your noses and cheeks might get red really fast and you might start having some snot problems, so maybe put those  hand and foot warmer pouches in your gloves and shoes and have a car on nearby that you can run to so you and the photographer can warm up every now and then.

Here are some inspiration pictures I found on Google...

Thanks Peaches! Those are cute, thats the feel I was going for.I was thinking of wearing my pea-coat, but FI doesnt have anything that I think would be appropriate (he often doesnt wear a jacket, or just a fleece.) I usually make my own scarves, maybe Ill make us new ones for the occasion!

Good topic!  Thanks for all the pic ideas peaches!  My photographer includes an e-pic session (even though we already had one with FI's friend for fun that we used for the save the dates) and I was wondering when we would have them done.  It seemed silly to wait until it was nice out since it will be so close to the wedding, but those winter pics are awesome!

I think winter e-pics are awesome and want to do them myself! I really want there to be snow, but that might not be possible unless we use a photog from Boston since that is where we live. We are from NJ which is why we are getting married there. Here is a couple (Jeff and Meryl) that did theirs in the snow: http://www.teamyuphoto.com/blog/?p=850. I used to work with Jeff and when I saw these photos fell in love with the idea even more so. Enjoy!
