I recommend bringing some towels and plastic bags to hold your wet clothing and items after the photoshoot. Umbrellas or not, rainy portraits can be a blast. Have fun with it, get soaked, and do something different. Try to find a building with a large overhang. Overcast skies create flattering light for portraits. If you can find an outdoor space with an awning and take pictures just on the edge of the rainy area, you can get some gorgeous shots. You can always call an audible and move your photoshoot indoors.
This is tricky because some locations may require permits, or they may be packed since everyone is trying to stay out of the rain as well. Your photographer will need to be well versed in the locations you are shooting to know where you can smoothly go for indoor portraits.
These are some of my favorite locations to shoot portraits. If it rains, these venues are easy to access while still looking pretty darn cool. To see a more comprehensive list of my favorite outdoor portrait locations, see this article. Grungy, covered in graffiti, and an Atlanta staple, Krog Street Tunnel is an excellent choice for portraits. Located right down the road from Krog Street Tunnel, the Market is a super fun spot. A bit hipster and industrial in style, it has overhangs and some cool places indoors.
Tons of overhangs, lots of indoor space, and food, if you need it, PCM is a fun alternative. Natural light photos only, though! Parking garages are some of the best places to take pictures.
The lighting is spectacular because gray concrete reflects light everywhere. How about a room with BIG windows? Any of these generally work in the event of a heavy downpour during the designated portrait time. More times than not, there will be a window of time between rain showers to make it outside for some portraits. Maybe some portraits need to be done inside or on a covered porch — but as soon as the rain stops, bridal parties and families are generally willing to duck outside for as long as they can between showers.
Wedding timelines can often be very tight, but if you and your photo team have agreed to pad the time needed a little, this helps to keep timing flexible with the weather.
Your photo team may or may not have something similar on hand, but it will be your responsibility to make sure that there is enough for everyone in your bridal party and family. Most importantly. Whatever it is that you feel about the rain, your wedding photos will capture that — a positive attitude and excitement for your marriage will bring so much light and life to your images. Your email address will not be published. Dance in the rain, catch a piggy-back ride, or get carried away—literally!
