Photo/Video locations on a rainy day in Melbourne

1st tip. Rain for Photography is good. Many brides wish for a sunny day which to be honest is a photographers night mare. Why? Sunshine promotes harsh shadows deep bags in the skin folds and often dark eyes. So my tip to clients after shooting weddings since 2001 is get hold of some big golf umbrellas. As for the city of Melbourne. Well you have lots of options. Head for a cafe or go for a creative shot with a pic at Southern Cross railway station. Try for a shot on an busy stairway with the couple hugging and the blurred movement of people around. Get on a tram for some quaint melb pics. I hope these tips help.

You need to find a Hotel.

As mentioned below, rain is really nothing to fear for your wedding photos. It can even add something special to the photos - a little kissing-in-the-rain-romance can make for amazing shots! However, if a cute bridal umbrella isn't quite what you have in mind, there are some great indoor locations around. Prahan hotel is unique and makes for great photos. And don't underestimate the value of shooting at your favorite cafè, or where you had your first date, or even the local pub. Some places even let you have the venue to yourself for a while, as long as you purchase a drink. This was a savior for me and my clients when we had a 37 degree wedding day in Melbourne :-)

Rain should never be scared of when if comes to your wedding day. The less sun that is showing the better as it means less squinting. Umbrellas are the best option to cater for rain and the photos you can have with them are amazing! Imagine hugging your new husband behind the umbrella and just having that moment. Another option is to find a beautiful building with some amazing architecture and spend it undercover.

I hope this helps and I wish you all the best for your beautiful day in May!
