Planning to have more time for the wedding photos is another thing that you can do. 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 will work but it is not the best way to take photographs.
Finally you must have set up umbrellas.Sometimes the weather will not let up and umbrellas will let you take them anyway. In my San Diego portrait photographer business we already have umbrellas ready for many reasons. In reality taking photos with overcast skies look great in pictures. So it isn’t all bad.
