You can’t always get what you want (wind blown veil shots).
Working with bridal veils is one of the least predictable parts of photographing weddings. There are times a veil will do exactly what you dreamed it would, like you are controlling it with your mind. These times are extremely rare. It’s almost as if the more you want the wind to do something specific the more likely you are to get nothing. You can try involving the wedding party, holding the veil, and it might work. Or you can be patient and get lucky. A windy veil shot is oft requested by my clients and I love it when I get to deliver something like this to them. It’s also ok to just keep moving and not care, even if the wind has wrapped you all up in the veil. Try not to get frustrated. Instead try to be ready for anything.
