Wilmington summers are legendary—not just for the beauty, but for the humidity. If you're a summer graduate, navigating the coastal heat is a major part of the strategy.
The Shade Strategy
When we work on **Downtown Wilmington** sessions like Chanel's, we utilize the deep shade of the historic buildings to manage the temperature. This ensures the graduate remains cool and their makeup remains fresh, while the architecture provides a high-contrast editorial look.
Hydration and Flow
A summer session requires a different rhythm. We provide regular breaks and ensure we are moving toward the water—utilizing the **Riverwalk** or a nearby beach—to catch the coastal breeze. This keeps the energy high and the portraits looking alive and effortless.
Fabric Choices
We recommend lightweight, natural fabrics for the student's attire under their gown. By planning the wardrobe for the Wilmington humidity, we can ensure the portraits look polished and professional, even in the peak of July.
