Newlyweds hope for good weather on their wedding day. After all, warmth and sunshine provide not only the comfort of the newlyweds and their guests during the ceremony and celebration, but also beautiful frames of wedding photography. In fact, successful photos can be obtained even with cloudy skies, rain and snow. The main thing is to be able to adapt to weather conditions and find a way out of this situation.

Secrets of a successful shooting

Positive attitude. Nothing should spoil the mood of the newly made family and their relatives on such a significant day. The main decoration of photographs is happy faces, smiles and eyes full of love of the bride and groom, and not the background. Confidence in the photographer. A true professional will be able to make excellent shots under any conditions. In addition, to get good lighting in the photo is much easier on a cloudy day than on a clear day. The sun's rays often illuminate frames, give unnecessary shadows and highlights. When viewing the photographer’s works, pay attention to the pictures taken in bad weather. In advance, discuss with him a backup script for a photo shoot and an additional location. Find virtues in everything. Low sky with clouds or snow will decorate the photo. The newlyweds warming each other or hiding from the shower under an umbrella in the photo look cute and touching. Be mobile. Even if it snows in the morning, it may end in the afternoon. Heavy rain can stop in the evening and give you a beautiful sunset. Therefore, do not postpone photography until good weather. Plan your time so that you have an additional 15–20 minutes to shoot unexpectedly. Do not worry if, due to this, you need to slightly transfer some other part of the event, since none of the guests will notice this delay. Think ahead to Plan B. If suddenly the bad weather nevertheless rages the whole holiday, and there is no opportunity to take pictures on the street, you can simply transfer the photo shoot to the studio indoors. The best thing is to opt for a large bright space. Entrust the decoration of the room to a wedding decorator who will decorate the studio in the style of the whole wedding. If you firmly want photographs taken outdoors or just outdoors, postpone the shooting to another day. At the celebration itself, this will even be an advantage, because you will have one less concern, and you can spend more time with loved ones and enjoy this special day without unnecessary worries.

So, if the street is hot, it is recommended:

to choose the right suits for the bride and groom: for the bride – a light dress without lush heavy skirts and tight corsets. The groom's jacket can be replaced with a vest; take pictures in the late afternoon when it gets cooler; Make the bride a persistent make-up that will not “leak” from the heat. Do not forget about matting napkins and powder.

When frost is advised:

take a thermos with hot tea. It will help keep you warm during and after the photo shoot; make a bride’s bouquet of flowers that are resistant to low temperature. These include: calla lilies, anemones, orchids, ranunculi, etc .; dress warmly. You can choose a coat or fur coat, as well as warm accessories (mittens, gloves, a scarf and a hat), suitable for a wedding outfit; Choose warm and waterproof shoes. And no heels for shooting in the snowdrifts. Remember that in the cold season, daylight hours are short, so you can take 2 pictures at once: daytime (in the light of the sun) and evening (with lights, garlands and candles).

If it is raining outside:

makeup of the bride should be made exclusively waterproof makeup; get a beautiful big umbrella in advance; throw a cardigan, cloak or jacket on the dress so that it does not get wet; Do not make light, uncommitted hairstyles (for example, curls), as they will quickly deteriorate due to humidity. Choose weaving or sophisticated tall hairstyles; bring rubber boots or any other flat shoes with you. High-heeled shoes will fall into the mud that forms from rain.
