By Monday, the humidity had soared and this was the sky that met us at midday:
So, we made it work. By shooting these from farther away to put the focus on the setting and their couple-hood, I was able to not worry so much about the shadows on their faces.
We also made good use of the many trees on the property and the shadows of the building itself creating open shade. There was some dappled sunlight to deal with, but I had a helper there who could hold a reflector over their heads if needed for some of the shots, as in the second one below.
Because of the schedule for the day, we only had about an hour for me to photograph the couple by themselves, but I think we worked well together-they were exceedingly happy and pleasant in spite of the oppressive heat and again, it was a special honor for me to photograph a dear friend. I've known this beauty since she was three, so I found myself steaming up my viewfinder occasionally as the emotions came to the surface.
