    1. Embrace a Pop of Colour<\/b><\/h2>\n

    When the sky is dark and overcast, it\u2019s not necessarily bad weather for photography\u2014it really makes those colours pop! Grey skies make cityscapes. A bright yellow raincoat is a classic choice for a rainy day photo shoot \ud83d\udc9b. Another fun idea: have everyone wear rain boots in different bright colours. It\u2019s fun to play with colour combinations for a photo shoot, but the colours will have more of an impact in the photos if you keep it to just a few pops of colour and not a bunch of bold, clashing outfits. If it\u2019s drizzling a bit, be mindful of your clothing choices; certain fabrics and colours might show the raindrops a lot more. If you\u2019re looking for what to wear, our outfit guide<\/a> has got you covered!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    2. Magical Overcast Lighting<\/b><\/h2>\n

    You might think that sunshine and blue skies make the best lighting conditions, but many photographers would tell you they prefer an overcast day! While studio photographers often use large softboxes over their lighting gear to filter the light and get super dreamy images, natural light, on-location photographers rarely get the opportunity\u2014unless there are clouds. The clouds can create a natural diffuser that provides a more flattering light. Many photographers do not recommend scheduling photoshoots in the middle of the day because the harsh sunlight can create unflattering shadows. Usually, they have to seek out shady spots, but this is no longer a concern when it\u2019s overcast.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3. Movie Romance<\/b><\/h2>\n

    We all love a passionate moment in the rain. It\u2019s a classic movie trope for a reason. (Remember that scene in <\/span>The Notebook<\/span><\/i> when they\u2019re in the boat, and it starts to pour? \ud83d\udc93 Sigh. Ryan Gosling. So dreamy.) Okay, I\u2019m back! \ud83d\ude05 Anyway, there\u2019s something about being caught in the rain that evokes romance. The most famous photo of Prince Harry and Meghan (Duke and Duchess of Sussex) is an<\/span> iconic shot<\/span><\/a> of them walking together in the rain under an umbrella. The photographer called it a \u201cone in a million\u201d shot. An image like this would be perfect for engagement photos or an anniversary occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

    (Caveat: if there\u2019s a heavy downpour or a rainstorm with lightning and thunder during your photoshoot, it might not be possible to continue in your chosen location. It really depends on the spot and how exposed you will be to know if it\u2019s safe to be out \ud83c\udf29 and whether your photographer can keep all of the gear adequately protected. Most photo gear can handle water droplets and light rain, but it\u2019s generally not a great idea to get it totally drenched for a long time. Your photographer can help you with alternative locations if needed, so you don\u2019t have to reschedule.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
