Right now, I’m listening to some really sappy music from my Disney playlist on my ipod. I’ve fallen into this pattern when I edit romantic photographs. It’s silly, but somehow Aladdin helps me edit my photos and make sure they are the right color and lighting to create the romantic “mood” of the picture that I want.
I have a tendency to rely on the weather to cooperate with my wishes without consulting the weather report first. This week, I had a romantic shoot scheduled for the late afternoon at the North Light Yacht club in Niceville. Low and behold, it rained cats and dogs. Attempting to defy the weather, I asked the couple to stand in the rain under umbrellas and “be cute”.(That’s code for “go make out and pretend I’m not here photographing your every move”)
I remained under the cover of the building while they stood under an umbrella and ignored the world around them. I love capturing moments like this because it really captures the relationship and the moment in time.
I’m really pleased with the result of soaking my clients and having to reshoot a few days later.
The next time we shot, I checked the weather report. It was really nice to work with this couple more than once because it helped them relax and act more natural in front of the camera.
Would you like to shoot with me? Visit my website. I’d love to hear from you!
Until next time,
Aislinn
