Alfred Lord Tennyson once wrote, "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
Robin Williams once said, "Spring is nature's way of saying 'let's party'."
Albert Camus wrote, "Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower."
Takayuki Ikkaku wrote, "Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills propelled by the autumn wind. Fall is the artist."
As a photographer I really enjoy the different seasons. As a photographer who loves photographing people especially people in love, I really love spring and fall.
If asked which month is the most popular for weddings, most people might answer June or July and they would be right. The summer months are still the most popular. In a poll taken in 2011, the top 4 months were; June, August, May and July. What might surprise some people is that September and October are the next two most popular months.
We have found that in the last few years, October and September were two of our busiest months. We were usually booked every weekend. That might be because we lived and photographed most of our weddings in New England. We heard from brides that they didn't want to get married in the heat and humidity of the summer so they picked the autumn for their wedding day! An added bonus was the leaves turning colors. Many of our weddings were held outside and the weather was a major factor for when a couple wanted to get married.
We found ourselves photographing engagement days in the spring and weddings in the fall quite a bit the last few years. I thought that instead of showing images of flowers blooming that I would show love blooming during these two seasons. I hope you enjoy seeing love in spring and fall!!!
To help you get in the mood here is Dino singing about Amore!!!

An Autumn Wedding

Love is in the air... Ahhhh I want to fall in love again
What beautiful photos and such vibrant colors....As always....XOXOXOX
I love the "Love" interpretation for the Spring and Fall theme. Great idea and the photos are very touching and beautiful.
I love it when pictures are taken of people and they don't seem posing. Too me, it is more authentic. The pictures of the bride with humor is so funny!
Lovely set of shots Jim!
I think early fall is the perfect time for a wedding.. no humidity.
I love the under the tree shots..beauttiful composition..
Your pictures have captured all the lovely emotions displayed so beautifully. The bride is a good sport and it shows, her groom is a lucky guy.
Hello.
There's nothing like capturing expressions of love.
I liked the quotes too.
Your photos are awesome! If I had to choose, my favorite would be the autumn wedding. I just love autumn with all its reds, golds, oranges & yellows. The bride looked beautiful too.
Nicely done!
Thanks for sharing.

Jim come down to India!
Many songs are about love in the spring but the best months of my years are the fall
Coming from a place that's summer all year round, I regard seasons with awe and wonder. How amazing it would be to live in a place where you see the cycle of life unfold every year.
Perhaps that's why Westerners value time more and are always in a hurry. You see the passage of time before your eyes. And perhaps that's why we take our time here. Time, for us, never quite runs out.
But I digress. The photos are stunning! Love colors any season.
Nelieta, Alpana and Mary thank you so much for your support. I am lucky to do what I do!! We see wonderful emotions and share them with our subjects!!

I enjoyed looking at the couples in love, it somehow inspired me to work diligently on my wedding which I had been putting aside for sometime now.

Oh I listened to Dean Martin while I looked into those spectacular images of love. I love the transition of colors~awesome brightness...The first image gave a dreamy effect. Orange, green~oh I love those secondary colors in those images...
Red caught my eye...it deepened the theme of spring love...
The bride towards the last images was very spontaneous :D I love her confidence...
