“What happens if it rains on my wedding day?”
The truth… It might. Especially if you’re getting married in the winter months.
Let’s face it, in England, even in the middle of summer there’s a chance it might rain. To be fair I’ve even photographed weddings in the beautiful Tuscan sun where unfortunately it rained.
Is it going to stop you having THE BEST DAY?
No! Absolutely not!
It’s the one thing you have zero control over when it comes to planning your dream wedding.
My advice… Embrace the rain and trust me when I say this…
It NEVER rains all day!
REAL WEDDINGS
These are amazing!!! Currently sat in Kenya crying at how amazing these photos are! Thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly!!
How to stop worrying about the potential of bad weather on your wedding day
My first advice would be, don’t even think about what the weather is going to be like.
Hard to do I know but honestly don’t worry yourself. In the run up to your wedding you’ll have so much to think about and added little pressures that you might not have thought of so why worry yourself about something that’s completely out of your control.
Instead ask yourself this…
Is it going to stop you having the most incredible and most memorable day celebrating with your family and friends? – Absolutely not!
When I first started as a professional wedding photographer I would be frantically worrying and checking the forecast as I know most couples will have done on the run up to their special day. Naturally everyone wants the perfect day and I wanted that too for my couples. I could put myself in their shoes, I understand, I’ve got that hair type that loves going all curly in the rain too, and not in a good way, ha ha. No one wants that on their wedding day.
I’m going to let you into a little secret.
It NEVER rains all day. Literally never. I don’t even know how many weddings I’ve photographed to date but I’m being very honest with you now when I say it has never ever rained all day. My mum thinks I’m a lucky charm and that I bring the sun to all my weddings. Even the gloomiest morning’s can turn out to be one of the most glorious afternoons!
I can’t tell you how amazed we are with all the photos. They are so beautiful! I love the ones of my little grandpa too, very special to have those.
The advantage of rain on your wedding day
You might think I’m mental for thinking there’s an advantage. I’m not.
If it does rain on your wedding day you have the potential of capturing some incredible portraits that would literally not be possible without the rain! These portraits below were taken in the rain in minutes.
You don’t even need to risk getting wet, hair getting frizzy or your dress getting soaked to have magical photographs. In fact some of these were taken from under a porch or sheltered roof so only myself and my flashes are the ones getting wet and let’s face it if my hair gets all frizzy, who cares.
Creative wedding portraits indoors
That’s not all I’m going to offer you. I’m a lover of the dark side and regardless of the weather I will always push my creativity to the absolute max. I never see the wet weather to be limiting in terms of creating awesome portraits on your special day.
It’s a chance for me to get really creative indoors and find mind blowing images beyond the obvious. I’m so lucky that my couples trust me and my eyes to find stunning photographs that are completely unique.
