June should be the most popular month to get married but it’s really not. I guess people associate June weddings with June Gloom. From a photographers standpoint, the gloom acts like a giant soft-box hung from the sky, which provides even, flattering natural lighting.
The longest days of the whole year are in June because of the summer solstice. Which means after a typical sunset wedding you have two hours of magic hour, which is perfect for pictures. If you don’t know what magic hour is.. Read The Magic Hour. The temperature in June is usually the best warm but not hot, cool but not cold.
Another thing to consider most flowers are available in June. A girl friend of mine Hannah from Modern Bouquet told me “I can get any flower a bride wants in June. Which isn’t the case in any other month.”
Typically June seems to be the slowest month for weddings and honestly it’s a little disappointing because it’s the perfect month to get married.
If I were getting married tomorrow…. I’d be a June Bride.
