Wedding Day Tips | Rainy Day

The one thing no one can control on a wedding day? The weather. As a wedding day photographer, I often get asked, “What do you do on a rainy day?!” Well, lucky for my couples, you’ve hired a photographer who has seen it all! While a rainy wedding day may not sound like the ideal scenario, rest assured, we can turn those raindrops into a magical backdrop for your special day. Here are some tips to help you weather the storm and make your rainy wedding day a magical occasion.

1. Don’t Obsess

It’s easy to fall into the trap of obsessively checking the weather forecast leading up to your big day. However, try not to make yourself an anxious mess by refreshing your weather app every hour. Remember that you’ve hired a team of vendor pros who have got your back! Trust that we’ll make the best of whatever weather comes our way and focus on the joy of the moment.

2. Trust Your Pros

If the weather isn’t looking ideal, rest assured that your photographer has a plan. I’ll do some extra location scouting to find places we can go for photos that keep you as dry as possible while still utilizing natural light. I’ve seen my fair share of rainy wedding days, and I know how to make the most of them. Trust me, I got you! 

3. Get the Gear

Embrace the rain by treating yourself to some cute rain boots or investing in lots of clear umbrellas. I always keep a handful in my trunk for moments just like this. Additionally, ask your makeup artist to provide some materials for touch-ups throughout the day to ensure you look your best despite the weather.

4. Go with the Flow

Rain on your wedding day? Cue Alanis Morissette, because it’s ironic, but it’s also a beautiful memory waiting to happen. Remember, it’s all a part of your wedding story, and I can’t wait to capture it. Embrace the spontaneity and let the day unfold naturally. Some of the most memorable moments happen when we least expect them.

In Conclusion…

Your wedding day is a celebration of love and commitment, rain or shine. Embracing the unexpected moments, like a rainy day, adds character and depth to your wedding story. As your photographer, I’m here to ensure that every moment, rain or shine, is beautifully captured. I can’t wait to create lasting memories with you, rain boots and all.
