I love shooting outdoor ceremonies. The lighting is always good, and I find that helps me shoot more pictures. A few things to think about while planning your outdoor wedding:
If there is shade available use it. Your guests will arrive 10-15 minutes early, and wait in line after the ceremony to greet you. That means even if you have a short 15 minute ceremony your guests will be in the sun for over 30 minutes. A few things I have seen to beat the heat are umbrellas, and fans. I've seen guests use umbrellas for shade, and I've also seen customized fans with the program printed right on it placed on everybodys seat.
Secondly remember the wind. I remember hearing a statistic that Omaha is actually more windy than the original windy city of Chicago. Instead of a unity candle try pouring colored sand, or pour a red wine, and a white wine as a symbol, and drink the mixture. You can have fun, and be creative with these things.
One last point: Those outdoor isle runners are great at tripping the Bride. I'm sure I'll see a Bride do a face plant some day. I've seen many close calls. I can't recomend isle runners.
I'll be in Des Moines this weekend so no posts from me. Enjoy the snow!
Thanks
