Cloudy Day Epics?

Michelle & Logan, on October 25, 2016 at 4:35 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 32

Tomorrow FH and I are supposed to take epics. There's a 60% chance of rain but it goes down to 20% and cloudy by the afternoon... should we still take the pics tomorrow? Have any of you taken pics on a cloudy day? I thought it'd be nice to have nice sunset pics, but FH and I have such opposite work...

    We took ours on a cloudy day too. They turned out well. (This photo is pre-edit from the photographer)

    They say cloudy is best for lighting! When we were planning our pictures our photographer actually had a backup plan in a shady area in case it was "too sunny" Smiley smile

    It's God's soft box. Rescheduling only inconveniences everyone. So much you can do either way Smiley smile

    Agree with all the PP. We took ours on a cloudy day and initially I was freaking out that they would be terrible, but our came out beautifully.

    It rained on us during our e-pics. They still came out great!

    We ended up taking pics on a cloudy day. We didn't realize that much later that night it was going to rain and we had already had to reschedule once. But it was such a great experience, and even got a tiny bit of sunset before thunder rolled in for a few pictures.

    I wanted sunset pics too, but our photographer did a wonderful job with the cloudy day. And hoping we'll get sunset pics on our wedding day! If it rains, roll with it, could make for even more amazing pics!
