Very helpful information for solving the rainy day shoot. If you don't have some constructive advice . . . why bother? I believe the OP was asking for help . . not a lecture on why he/she shouldn't get some advice on doing it better.


thank you , yes all i wanted was a little help in certain areas not people telling me not to do it when its a day or two b4 the wedding

it must be great to not have to ask advice, i wonder how people managed to shoot their first wedding, you cant practice really can you,the wedding dress so i have heard is very difficult to get right hence the question, shooting on a rainy day is also difficult iwas just looking for ideas not on exposure or any of the technical sides of shooting on a rainy day but some ideas about shots to take.
thanks to all for the answers anyway

Use the studio. Get out the props. Invite the whole wedding patty to have fun in from of the camera. If you don't have a studio find an area at the venue and set up a big backdrop. With props. Lights the works.
They did this at the studio for my daughters wedding in a blizzard.
The photos were awsom. The wine was great. Every shot was amazing. The photographer said it was the most fun he ever had shooting a wedding.
And no I would not shoot my daughters wedding. Lol


what studio?

If you're talking "traditional white" wedding dress - yes, it is very easy to blow out the detail.
You give no indication of where the photos are to be taken: indoors, or outdoors.
Either way, light coming from the side will be less harsh to both the dress and the bride's face, than light coming straight on from your camera, and it will give some shadows on the dress from folds in the design, helping to define the dress.
As to other detail in the dress - beads, sequins, fabric - the bride is not likely to loan you the dress beforehand to take some test pictures, but if she's willing to give you some detail, you may be able to buy a yard or so of a similar fabric (not just "white" but taffeta for a taffeta dress, polyester satin for a polyester satin dress, silk lace for a silk lace dress, etc). Take that piece of fabric to the location where the final photos will be taken, ask the proprietor of the building to turn on the lights as they will be for the wedding, and take some test shots, with the fabric draped in different ways.
Outdoors will be a lot harder, you can't turn the sun on or off (don't I wish!!!).
That's about all the sensible stuff I can tell you.
Actual settings on your camera? I have no idea: I don't know your camera (unless you have an Olympus E-5) and I don't know the area. I guess the only thing I can add, is to underexpose for the dress, you can always lighten it up in PP but once the whites are blown, they're gone.
Happy shooting!
