Winter Photo Session in the Dark
photos taken in the dark can evoke a sense of magic
Lapland is a stunning and unique destination, particularly cherished during the winter months. However, one aspect often overlooked is our location within the Polar Arctic Circle, where we experience the mesmerising phenomenon known as the polar night.
The polar night occurs when nighttime lasts for more than 24 hours in the northernmost and southernmost regions of the Earth. During this enchanting period, daylight is scarce, particularly in November, December, and January. In Finnish, we refer to this time as "Kaamos," a magical phase characterised by soft, dim blue twilight. Contrary to what one might think, it’s not completely dark all the time; in fact, polar regions enjoy an abundance of twilight throughout the year, creating a serene and dreamlike atmosphere.
While planning your wedding, proposal, or special event, it’s essential to consider the timing of your photos. If you desire to capture moments in natural daylight, careful scheduling is necessary. However, don’t let the darkness deter you! Nighttime offers its own unique charm and the potential for breathtaking images.
Wedding photos taken in the dark can evoke a sense of magic and intimacy that daylight simply cannot match. With the right planning and an experienced photographer equipped with specialized gear, you can create stunning visuals that beautifully encapsulate your love story. The deep hues of the night, combined with the twinkling stars and soft glow of candlelight, provide an enchanting backdrop for your special moments.
PRO-TIP: Avoid wearing dark clothing during your photoshoot in the dark. Instead, consider pairing a darker outfit with colorful accessories. Adding these small details will help you stand out beautifully against the nighttime backdrop.
