Things You Can Do To Take Pictures In Horrible Weather

By Jason King

The weather is one thing you can not control in a wedding event.You can organize and prepare for everything but no matter what you do you cannot control the weather.

Well as a photographer bad weather is something you can plan for. Obviously you hope you don't have to deal with it.But you want to be ready for whatever weather may happen if you have been assigned a job to do the pictures. So here are some things you can do in case of bad weather in a wedding.

You need a backup plan first of all.No matter what you do you need to be prepared with another option for those outdoor shots you planned to capture. As a San Diego wedding photographer I usually don't have to worry about this.But there will be times when bad weather happens. 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 plan the photographs you will take.

Another thing you can do is plan to have more time for the wedding photos. What this will allow you to do is to take cover when it is showering. When the rain lets up you can hurriedly take photos. I have had to do this several times as a San Diego photographer.It is not the perfect way to take photographs but it will work.

Finally you need to have umbrellas set up. Sometimes the weather won't let up and umbrellas will let you take them anyways. In my San Diego event photography business we already have umbrellas ready for many reasons.Taking photos with overcast skies look great in pictures in reality. So it isn't all bad.

So there are plenty of tips you can use to make the very best out of a bad weather in a wedding event. As mentioned you can't control the weather but you can control your plans and still have great photos.
