Rain on your Wedding Day (Photographers Edition)

Following up from the first post (Rain on your Wedding Day), this post is for Wedding Photographers. Many photographers know, that when taking portrait photos, it is best to avoid clothing with prominent logos. This applies to umbrellas as well.

Below are two examples of black and white wedding photos grabbed from Flickr. In the first photo, there is a large "B B" logo on the umbrella. This distracts the focus of the viewers eye from the bride.

In the second photo, the umbrella has been chosen to complement the bride, and turns the umbrella from a distraction to a feature. The umbrella itself helps tell the story.

Being well prepared is one of the ways good wedding photographers become great wedding photographers. Many photographers will actually bring matching umbrellas with them. Small value add services such as this can make a huge difference in the end results.

At Stella Brella (http://www.stellabrella.com.au/), we have a wide range of suitable umbrellas, and many of our customers are Photographers and Photographic studios.
