Does weddings in the West coast continue during the winter time. Because here in the East its dead.

West like California, Seattle, Las Vegas.
East like NYC, NJ, CT...

Because I guess its financially better if we can shoot all year round.

Yep. Had two in October, one in November, plus engagement sessions, and I have two over the next two weeks.

Vegas is kinda West Coast. October is typically the 2nd busiest month of the year here. The heat is gone and the weather is perfect. Ironically though, I had 2 weddings in Chicago in October. I shot 2 this November and 1 in December. I passed on a few more weddings, like ones on 12/13/14 so I could have had more. But, generally speaking, wedding season here is February to October.

Second shooting next weekend on 12/20 Saturday. Then shooting a high school friend's wedding on Friday, 1/2. So yes.

I'd think that the West coast down in CA might have more weddings due to better weather, no?

I have 5 weddings in Dec/Jan in a 4 week span plus a few engagement sessions... definitely keeps going, but in SF it's also the rainy seasons so it's still not really ideal.

Not too ironic as October is the most popular month for me here in the Midwest. Same reasons as you... less heat, prettier trees. Although they're risking their wedding day being either 85 degrees or 20 degrees. But things die off as soon as November hits.

Funny because the first wedding I had was in 72 degree weather and the next weekend the weather was 36 degrees. It was a reminder as to why I left Chicago many years ago.

It varies, but never as busy as April-June and Sept-Oct. I would like more work during winter, it's not like it's that bad here in Vegas.

I wonder what the brides will do now that 12/13/14 is about to be gone (shooting wedding today)...

11/13/15! then 12/14/16, 11/14/17, 12/15/18, 11/15/19...
