How to shoot an outdoor winter wedding I'm photographing an outdoor winter wedding in two weeks. I'm concerned about all the bright snow. If anyone can give some input on exposure I would appreciate it.

Probably not what you're looking for. But your best bet is to get out there with the camera and fire away. Note exposure settings and see what works in what kind of light. The best way to learn is to make it happen and see the results of your work. Make yourself the one who can answer these questions for others. There really is no go to setting combination. If the snow is an important portion of the subject, make sure it resides about three stops above the meter reading. Start there in practice and hone in on it. If not, make certain you can guage the light reflecting from the subjects because, unless you are up in their grill or have a spotmeter, snow will throw off your readings. Another reason to have someone with you wearing both white and black and seeing what exposure settings yield the best results without destroying the clothing and keeping the faces in a good tonal range. Go out and practice. Knowledge is power. Preparation is success.
