What happens if it rains on your wedding day? ☔️
First, rain doesn’t mean we’re giving up on outdoor photos.
We always bring clear umbrellas with us so, as long as it isn’t absolutely pouring, we can still sneak outside and get photos like these. And honestly? Rainy wedding photos can be SO pretty.
One of the reasons we intentionally build portrait time into multiple parts of your wedding day is so we have more than one opportunity to get photos of just the two of you. If you’re doing a first look, we set aside time for portraits then, and we also build in another round of portraits around golden hour when the light is at its best.
That becomes especially helpful on rainy wedding days. If it’s raining during your first look, there’s a chance it’ll clear by golden hour. If rain rolls in later, we may have already gotten beautiful outdoor portraits earlier in the day.
And because we’re with you for most of the day, we can keep an eye on the weather and take advantage of those little breaks when they happen.
If we suddenly get 10 or 15 minutes without rain? We can pivot and sneak you outside for a few more photos.
We’ll also make use of covered porches, overhangs, clear umbrellas, and whatever your venue gives us to work with.
Basically, we don’t look at a rainy forecast and panic. We plan your timeline with multiple opportunities for portraits, bring what we need, watch the weather, and adjust throughout the day.
Because sometimes a little rain ends up giving you some of the cutest photos anyway. ☔️🤍
