After doing our in-studio bridal portraits, we got our on-location bridal portrait assignment. I photographed this assignment on Sunday and boy was it interesting. I brought a wedding dress home from school praying it would fit my “bride.” After quite the scare of it potentially not fitting, we got it zipped up and went on our way to the location to do the assignment. Right as I started the assignment, my boyfriend, who doubled as my assistant that day, showed me the radar and we were about 20 minutes away from having some rough rain. After about 10 minutes of not feeling any drops or hearing any thunder, I decided to continue. I shot a couple photos at the front of the building and then moved to the other corner of the back of the building. About 5 minutes after that, my “brides” friend said she was feeling drops. I immediately internally panicked and was so determined to get through the photoshoot without getting my camera or flash drenched, but also not getting the school’s dress drenched. Luckily we got out of there just in time before it started raining really hard. I had quite a few options to choose from for this assignment but this photo that I chose really seems to be one of my favorites. I love how detailed the brick is and I love how the light looks on her face. I’m very pleased with the outcome of my photoshoot for this assignment given the circumstances.
