A few fun behind-the-scenes moments from Leigh and Rachel’s very rainy wedding day, all in black and white!
It rained for much of the day, but they took it completely in their stride. They stayed flexible, trusted the plan, and we had so much fun!
So… three tips from me for an amazing wedding day, whatever the weather:
1. Focus on the experience, not the forecast. Easier said than done but truly, the weather is only one part of the day ❤️
2. Build a little flexibility into your timeline so you can take advantage of any dry spells.
3. Trust your photographer and other vendors. We are always watching the conditions and adjusting the plan behind the scenes.
Three practical ways to plan for rain:
1. Plan ahead and find an indoor option or covered spaces for portraits in case it does rain. Big trees and buildings can work well for this.
2. Have umbrellas ready for the wedding party, ideally clear. You can buy these in the week before the wedding once the forecast is available.
3. Bring a second pair of shoes if you are planning to explore outdoors 😅
They say that rain is a sign of blessing, renewal and a fresh beginning. It certainly felt like that for Leigh and Rachel’s beautiful wedding! A great reminder that rain does not have to ruin a wedding day. Sometimes it creates the atmosphere and unexpected moments that make the story even more memorable 👌
