Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens might be a few of your favorite things, but what about raindrops on your wedding day? While the idea of a rainy wedding might sound less than ideal, New York City has a charm of its own when it’s kissed by the rain. In this blog, we’ll explore the art of capturing cool photos on rainy wedding days in the Big Apple.
Embracing the Rain
Rain on your wedding day doesn’t have to be a disappointment. In fact, it can be an opportunity to create truly unique and memorable wedding photos. The key is to embrace the rain, and the photographers at Shootwire know just how to do that.
1. Rainy Romance
Rain can add a touch of romance and nostalgia to your wedding day. Imagine you and your beloved huddled under an umbrella, raindrops glistening on your attire, as you steal a kiss. It’s a scene straight out of a classic movie, and it makes for some of the coolest wedding photos.
2. Reflective Surfaces
New York City’s wet streets can turn into magical mirrors when it rains. The reflections of city lights, iconic buildings, and passing taxis create a surreal backdrop for your wedding photos. It’s a chance to capture the city’s essence in a unique way.
3. Umbrella Elegance
Umbrellas aren’t just practical on rainy days; they can also be stylish accessories. Opt for elegant, matching umbrellas that complement your wedding attire. A sea of colorful umbrellas can add a pop of vibrancy to your photos, creating a cheerful contrast to the rainy backdrop.
4. Indoor Grandeur
Sometimes, the rain forces you to move your wedding indoors. But don’t fret; indoor venues in NYC offer opulent settings for your wedding photos. From historic ballrooms to trendy lofts, these venues provide a backdrop of grandeur and sophistication.
Preparing for a Rainy Wedding Day
If you’ve decided to embrace the possibility of rain on your wedding day, here are some tips to help you prepare:
1. Choose the Right Venue
Consider selecting a wedding venue that offers both indoor and outdoor spaces. This way, you can easily transition your celebration indoors if the weather takes an unexpected turn.
2. Rain-Ready Attire
Opt for wedding attire that can withstand a little rain. Talk to your stylist about waterproof or water-resistant options for your gown or suit. Don’t forget stylish umbrellas that match your theme.
3. Hair and Makeup
Work with your hair and makeup artist to create a look that’s rain-resistant. Waterproof makeup and an updo can help you look flawless even in the rain.
4. Communicate with Your Photographer
Discuss your vision for rainy day photos with your photographer in advance. They can plan creative shots and ensure they have the right equipment to protect their gear from the rain.
The Shootwire Approach
At Shootwire, we take a personalized approach to rainy day wedding photography. Our team understands that each couple has a unique vision for their wedding day, rain or shine. Here’s how we make the most of NYC’s rainy weather:
1. Creative Lighting
Rainy days in the city often bring diffused, soft lighting, which is a photographer’s dream. We use this natural softbox effect to capture ethereal and cool photos that highlight the emotions and beauty of the moment.
2. Timing is Key
We keep a close eye on the weather forecast and plan the photography schedule accordingly. Sometimes, the rain takes a break, and that’s the perfect moment for outdoor shots with rain-kissed streets.
3. Candid Moments
Rain can lead to unexpected and candid moments that tell the real story of your wedding day. From guests sharing an umbrella to kids splashing in puddles, these spontaneous moments add charm to your photo album.
4. Editing Magic
Our post-processing techniques are tailored to enhance the beauty of rainy day photos. We adjust colors, contrast, and saturation to bring out the vibrancy of the city and the warmth of your emotions.
