Photography Tips: How to Get Great Pictures in Bad Weather Conditions

How to Take Good Pictures in Bad Weather Conditions:

1.) Be prepared at all times: Bad weather can, but it may not give you a warning. Being prepared to shoot in poor conditions will allow you to capture that shot that you would have missed had you not been geared up and mentally prepared for.

2.) Protect your equipment. Don’t sacrifice your camera to get that shot. This is why rule #1 is very helpful.

3.) Many times when weather is at its worst, photography is at its best. The sky is brighter, darker, the fog is like a blanket- all those situations make for some great shots. The key is being willing to get outside when you don’t want to, to leave the warmth of your couch and put on your rain gear.

4.) Don’t pose people- they will all look miserable. This no posing rule is especially important in cold, windy, wet conditions! Shoot people doing what they want to do, some will turn out others won’t. Don’t worry about that.

5.) Be ready, be quick and then be done. Take the time you need, but then go home.

The æ Wedding

The Andrew and Ellyn (aka æ ) Wedding was so amazing, here are some of the shots from the wedding. I love taking pictures, and everything was just so pretty that it made it so easy to take some really neat pictures.

My husband, Brad was honoured to be able to walk his little sister down the isle, it was so sweet. For the wedding we were seated at tables and we stayed at those tables for the reception and dinner. It was so fun, they did breakfast for dinner with tons of gourmet cheeses, all the berries you could imagine, waffles, quiche, sausage, bacon, eggs, and hash browns….so yumm! Sorry, I cut out about when the food came out, so the last picture I have was when the reception was starting. When I smelled the food I forgot all about the camera for the rest of the evening. It was just too fun, also there were so many people I hadn’t seen in so long and I just had to mingle.
