Wedding photography in a bad weather
One thing you can’t control in a wedding is the weather.You can organize and prepare for everything but no matter what you do you cannot control the weather.Well bad weather, as a photographer, is something you can plan for.You hope you do not need to deal with it obviously.But if you have been assigned a duty to do the pictures you want to be ready for whatever weather may happen.So here are some useful hints you can do in case of bad weather in a wedding event.
First of all you need a back up plan. No matter what you do you need to have another option for those outdoor shots you planned to take. As a wedding photographer San Diego I usually don’t have to worry about this.But basically bad weather can also happen sometimes. The thing you can do is make sure you have a backup location ready if the weather does get bad.With a backup place identified you can prepare a good plan for the photographs you will capture.
Planning to have more than enough time for the wedding photos is another thing you can do. What this will allow you to do is to hide or cover yourself when the rain is pouring. When the rain lets up you can hurriedly take photos. I have had to do this several times as a San Diego photographer. It isn’t the best way to take photographs but it will work.
Finally you must already have set up umbrellas.Sometimes the weather will not let up and umbrellas will let you take them anyway. In my San Diego portrait photographer business we already have umbrellas ready for many reasons.In reality taking pictures with overcast skies look really great in photos.So it is not all bad.
So there are several tips you can utilize to make the best out of a wedding in a bad weather.As mentioned, the weather is beyond your power to control but you can control your plans and still have great photos.
