Wet Weddings
You never know what’s going to happen with the weather, and it’s our job to get amazing images no matter what happens! To help us with that, here are some wet wedding photography tips and techniques from our TiR members specifically talking about how they handled some bad weather:
This Is How: ‘Umbrellas and Cats’ by Shaunte’ Dittmar
Honoured to have the fantastic Shaunte’ Dittmar with us today (who was one of our judges for Collection Four), as she explains all about her thought process and how she captured this striking image. Great insights on composition, the benefits of having a second shooter, the important of making a connection with her couple, editing and more…thanks so much, Shaunte’!
This Is How: ‘Caught Getting To The Church’ by Martin Beddall
Fab to have Martin Beddall on the blog today to tell us how he got this recent Reportage Award from Collection Five. As well as technical details of how this shot was achieved, it’s really interesting to read about Martin’s thought process, and seeing lots of other images he took of the scene, too. Thanks Martin!
This is Storytelling: ‘Nele & Michael’ by Sanne De Block
We’re absolutely delighted to have the brilliant Belgium-based TiR member Sanne De Block on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of her recent Story Award – but not only does Sanne talk in depth about that, she also lets us know how she won a Reportage Award which came from the same wedding; double-documentary goodness! We can’t recommend this post enough, with fantastic insights into working in wet conditions (so wet that one of her cameras stopped working properly – eek! – and how she dealt with the problem), practical advice on how to capture in-between moments, lens and flash info, and much more…
This Is How: ‘Wedding Storm’ by Ray Anthony Iavasile
Delighted to have a new ‘This is How…’ feature on the site today, with US-based TiR member Ray Anthony Iavasile taking us behind the scenes of this brilliant rainy wedding capture. Ray’s piece is a real masterclass in composition – so much great advice here!
