拍婚纱照遇到下雨怎么办？

很多JuMi新娘都会对温哥华的天气恨铁不成钢

其实阴天或者温村这样的绵绵细雨，光线更加均匀，是不影响拍摄的

另外在距离拍摄还有3-5天以上时，请完全不要因为天气预报上的下雨标识而紧张

在我们拍摄十余年里，很多时候，天气预报…都是不准的

最重要的是要保持好的心态，亲身经历告诉我们，心态积极的新娘真的最终都得到了理想的拍摄状况

我们自己的婚纱照和婚礼都赶上了雨天

其中还有一次是十年难遇的大雪

但是这都不妨碍我们之后再回忆起来时，照片触动到我们心里最柔软的部分

雨天婚纱照拍摄的方式其实还是挺多的，只要我们的JuMi小仙女有乐观的心态，再准备一些拍照道具，下雨天拍摄出的也许会能让您惊艳 – 并且绝不撞片！

以下是JuMi团队的雨天拍摄应变备案（Rain contingency plan）

在临近拍摄的一周内如果您对天气有所担忧，我们会在拍摄前晚7点请您做出最终决定

**48小时之内花艺师将无法取消，如果您的套餐内含手捧花，请在拍摄2天前的当晚做出最终决定，否则改期后的拍摄将无法再次提供手捧花

*第二次改期将产生改期费$200

Option 1

改期

如果当天雨量达到无法拍摄的程度，

或是您理想的婚纱照必须有艳阳高照和完美的夕阳逆光

而看到天气预报中有下雨的可能，希望保险起见而改期

您可以使用您的第一次免费改期，根据团队档期依次顺延至下一个空档拍摄

但是在拍摄旺季（5-8月），摄影化妆都满档的情况下，临时延期将可能产生一个月甚至两三个月的等待

如果您的婚期将至急用照片，建议您避免这个选项

Option 2

雨天拍摄

情况A
- 预订备用场地

如果在拍摄前一周左右您开始担心下雨

我们建议您在 Giggster上预定一个室内的地点

（咖啡馆，工业风的warehouse，网红打卡Airbnb或是studio等）

或者是预约一间有自然光线的酒店套房，顺便还可以来几张boudoir风格

这会是一石二鸟的方案

情况B
- 桥下/屋檐下拍摄

拍摄当天时阴时雨，都无法提前预知

我们会尽最大的努力，为您调整拍摄路线

随机应变的趁着还没有下雨的时候拍摄外景露天部分

开始下的时候尽量改去桥下，有屋檐或是有被遮挡的地方拍摄

这将意味着您的原定拍摄路线也许被打乱，但是摄影师六月先生会和您提前沟通

为的是确保我们可以争取到最佳的光线和天气

情况C
- 在雨里拍摄

准备透明/全黑或好看的雨伞道具，您的照片会是独一无二的

另外，一些特定的浪漫场景其实反而在雨天才能出效果

**唯一需要注意的是雨天拍摄时，您的头发一旦淋湿，除非吹干并重做造型，将无法保持自然蓬松

**并且在地面过湿或泥泞的沙滩/森林场景拍摄含拖尾的婚纱，有可能产生额外$300-400的婚纱干洗费

Option 3

分开拍摄

如果您的拍摄涉及到已预约并不可改期的场地，想单独改期外景拍摄的部分

当天我们会继续进行原计划的场地部分拍摄；场地一般也会有遮挡，所以下雨也可以继续拍摄

**第二次拍摄将视为全新预约，根据团队档期依次顺延至下一个空档拍摄

**第二次的拍摄将产生$1000改期费（包含化妆师第二次造型）

再次提醒您

有手捧花的新娘请务必在48小时前告知JuMi团队

没有的话也请您在拍摄前当晚7点决定

我们尊重您的选择，无论如何也会尽力帮您争取最佳的拍摄效果 🙂

#JUMIBRIDEAcademy:

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

“What should I do if it rains on my wedding day / pre-wedding session ?”

Many of our JuMi brides have a love and hate relationship with Vancouver’s weather. And that may be because, for most of the year, Vancouver experiences rainy and/or cloudy days.

But what we tend to forget is that one of the most important things to keep in mind when having a photoshoot is to maintain a positive mindset. From personal experience, we can tell you that brides with good vibes usually end up getting the best results from their sessions :)!

Even during our very own prewedding as well as wedding day, we were caught up in extreme weather conditions. We got rained on and snowed on – One of them being rare snow in 10 years during our prewedding in Venice. But that didn’t prevent us from pursuing the shoot, and the results were still amazing!

If it’s still 3-5 days prior to the day, please don’t panic upon seeing a chance of rain in the weather forecast. In over ten years of photographing weddings in Vancouver, there have been countless times when the forecast turned out wrong. Completely.

Although there may be times when we might really be caught in the middle of unideal weather, there are still quite a lot of ways to take your wedding photos beautifully. We have had tons of experience working in all kinds of lighting and weather conditions, and we know how to work with what we have to make sure that your photos turn out great no matter what. If you’re worried about the weather on the day of your shoot, read our following rain contingency plan, so you won’t have to worry about not capturing some of the best moments of your life. Let’s dive in.

JuMi Rain Contigency Plan

OPTION 1

Reschedule

If the amount of rain that day is too heavy (8 on a scale of 10), or if golden hour is your “absolutely must have”, you would want to be on the safe side and reschedule.

Our 1st rescheduling due to weather is free of charge, and we will move your session to the next available date based on your preferred schedule, and our availability.

However, in the peak shooting season (May-August), when the photographer and makeup artist’s schedules are all full, the rescheduling might lead to a one-month wait, or even two or three months in some cases.

If your wedding date is approaching and you need photos urgently, it is recommended that you avoid this option.

OPTION 2

Shoot in the rain

* Case A

*Reserve an alternate venue

If you are currently looking at a week or so before the shoot, we recommend that you book an indoor location ahead of time. You can book a cafe, an industrial-style warehouse, an Airbnb, a studio; or you can also book a hotel suite with natural light for a few boudoir-style shots.

This way, if it rains, you can still push through with the shoot without having to reschedule; if it doesn’t, then you can have more locations for your session! *Win.

* Case B

*Shoot under bridge/overhead cover

If it is cloudy and rainy on the day of shoot since it’s impossible to predict the cloud’s mood in advance, we will do our best to adjust the photoshoot route for you. All you have to do is stay open-minded!

We will be shooting outdoors while it is still dry. And when the rain starts, we will try to change the scene and shoot in shaded places where there are eaves or bridges that are still picture-perfect for you.

This will mean that your original shooting route may be disrupted, but we will guide you through to make sure we can get the best light and weather.

* Case C

* Shoot in the rain with picture-perfect props

If it does rain on the day of the shoot and you still want to continue on, don’t worry! We can still make it work and get some great shots. Prepare umbrellas -transparent, or all black, or any good-looking umbrella- your photos will be unique!

In fact, some specific romantic scenes actually only work on rainy days. With a few adjustments and thorough preparations, you can still capture exquisite memories.

**The only downside when shooting in the rain: Once your hair gets wet, it won’t keep its natural volume unless you blow dry and restyle.

**If the ground is too wet or muddy, especially at a beach or forest scene, it may incur an extra $300-400 wedding dress dry cleaning fee.

OPTION 3

Break down to 2 photoshoot dates

If your shoot involves a venue that has been booked and cannot be rescheduled, you may want to reschedule partially.

With this, we will continue to shoot at the original site (Indoor venues are generally sheltered, so we can still do it even if it rains), and continue with the other outdoor location on a different date.

**The second photoshoot will be counted as a new session and will be postponed to the next available date based on the team’s schedule.

**The second photoshoot will incur a rescheduling fee of $1000 (including the makeup artist’s fee for the second look).

Afterall, even when we are caught in less than perfect conditions, there are still many ways to create stunning wedding photos. As long as you, our dear JuMi bride, have an optimistic attitude and prepare accordingly, the rain might turn out to be a pleasant surprise!

Some general reminders to take note of:

If you decide to reschedule, and your package comes with bouquets – You must inform the JuMi team 48 hours in advance. The florist will not be able to cancel within 48 hours, and may not be able to provide the bouquet again on the rescheduled date.
