Engagement photos=rain

Heather, on June 13, 2017 at 10:57 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 17

Ok so all week it said the weather was going to be nice today for our engagement photos. Well, basically we just got hit with a huge thunderstorm and now is saying pop up storms all day. I looked at the radar for about 6 pm (our time to take photos) and it says a small chance but mostly cloudy/party sunny.

So basically I'm bumming a little, I have to avoid rescheduling because it's hard for me to get off work and I can't cancel my makeup appt now since it's too close.

Can anyone give me inspiration of their engagement photos taken on a dismal cloudy day? I have heard the cloud cover is good for great pictures anyways....I'm trying to stay positive here! Haha

    The day of my e-shoot and on my wedding day it rained. All you need is an amazing photographer, and get your hair and makeup done (I did not get my hair done for my e-shoot). For the e-shoot, he edited in some blue sky and took away some of the clouds covering the buildings (eta: I just realized it's hard to tell in the pic I chose lol.) But anyway, at least you can see it was a cloudy day. For the pro pic from my wedding day, we're actually standing in the rain.

    I love photos in the rain! We don't have them, but I second looking on Pinterest and if you have time, try to stop and find a clear umbrella before your photos (your photographer may have one, but you never know). If you want some cute, playful pictures, you could grab some rain boots and maybe jump in puddles together! I also love reflection photos, where the photo is of a reflection of the couple in a puddle. Hopefully that helps with some ideas. And whatever happens, try to have an open mind and have fun! You photographer should know how to take fantastic photos in any weather!

    We had thunderstorms the day of our e-pics, but it cleared up by the time we had our photos - we even had some sunshine! We bought a cute umbrella from Target just in case it was raining but ended up not needing it. This is the only photo I've gotten back so far.

    It was supposed to rain on both our e-pics and wedding...it ended up being dry for both, but had some cloud cover...your pics will be great either way! Just embrace it. I know I was freaking about rain for ours...but honestly looking back I would have been totally cool with some rain, especially for e-pics. It makes things seem moody and romantic!

    It was supposed to rain during mine but we decided to try to beat the rain. It ended up getting super cloudy & stormy, but it cleared up a little and the sun came out! Maybe you'll get lucky too!

    Just wanted to update the feed about today! As soon as I rolled up, the thunder started rolling and I started to get bummed. Butttt....it actually didn't rain at all! It cooled down a little which was great since it was hot and the lighting was perfect because of the clouds! My photographer is going to send over some pictures tomorrow , I can't wait to see!

    Look at Pinterest. I'm sure you can get some ideas there. Pinterest has saved me many times throughout this wedding planning.
