On the morning of Rob & Alena’s pre wedding shoot the weather was terrible. Non stop rain (as per usual for this April), dull skies, wind and pretty cold. A bit like a winter’s day. Actually, a lot like a winter’s day. I checked with Rob if they still wanted to go ahead and I am pleased to say they were up for it. They quite fancied some shots in the rain and so did I!
It certainly was the wettest shoot I have ever done and pretty cold but Rob & Alena were fantastic! The dogs loved it too! Bailey even taking his first dip in water. Check out the shaking Bailey shot. Ha.
Thanks to Rob & Alena for being amazing on the day and putting up with the non stop heavy rain and cold. Really looking forward to your wedding! You guys rock!
Here are some images from the day….
The Black & White brolly shot is inspired, gorgeous photography, Chris you made the rain a wonderful feature of this shoot
Thanks very much for your comments Andy. Really enjoyed shooting in the rain. Was good fun.

Thanks Catherine. The dogs were loving it.
Gorgeous! Love the lighting and the bride and groom look like they had loads of fun.
Thanks very much Jaye
That looks like one cold shoot so big respect to Rob and Alena for braving the elements. And Chris you nailed it again my man! Awesome work!
Cheers Paul. Yeah I had sausage fingers at the end. Freezing. Big respect for Rob and Alena. They were fantastic.
Amazing pics Chris Thornton….
Thanks very much Piyusha
Loving this set of images Chris, really like the off camera flash shots – really lifts an average image into something very special!
Thanks Lynn. Yeah I like to mix it up a bit if I can. Definitely nice to have the flash there on that murky dull day.
Ahhh these are awesome!! I’d love to do a shoot in the rain, these are really inspiring images. Gorgeous work, Chris.
Thanks very much Jay. Was nice to do. Its pretty rare you get to do a rain shoot so I was super pleased Rob & Alena were up for it.
These are fabulous! Absolutely love the OCF shots – very impressive in the rain – and how cute are those dogs?!!
Thanks very much Louise. Ha yeah the dogs are cute. It was the first time they’d been in the water too. Walked into the lake. Funny. They loved being in the rain though.
