Rain on your wedding day? I know it’s not what you envisioned, but I promise—it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. With a little preparation and the right mindset, we can turn unexpected weather into an opportunity for unique and beautiful photos. Here’s how I help my couples handle rain while still capturing stunning images.

1. Embrace the Rain—We’ll Make It Work

Instead of stressing about the forecast, let’s lean into it. Some of my favorite wedding images come from rainy days. The overcast sky softens the light, and rain can add a really cinematic effect to your photos. Plus, it makes for some truly unforgettable moments.

2. Have a Backup Plan for Outdoor Photos

If your ceremony or portraits are planned for outside, we’ll make sure to have a solid backup plan. Many venues offer covered spaces or beautiful indoor areas that still provide a polished look. If needed, I can help scout alternative locations in advance.

3. Choose a Venue with Indoor Options

When choosing your venue, it’s always a good idea to consider one that has elegant indoor photo spots. Large windows, grand staircases, and stylish interiors can make for amazing wedding portraits even if we have to move inside.

4. Bring the Right Accessories

A little preparation goes a long way. Clear umbrellas photograph beautifully and keep you dry while still letting in light. If it’s cold, having a chic jacket or wrap can also make a difference in keeping you comfortable throughout the shoot.

5. Adjust the Timeline if Needed

If rain is coming at a certain time, we’ll adjust accordingly. I always build extra buffer time into the schedule so we have flexibility if we need to work around a passing shower.

6. Trust Your Photographer

You hired me because I know how to handle all kinds of situations—including unpredictable weather. I’ll help guide you through the best spots, lighting, and angles to make sure we’re still getting gorgeous images, rain or shine.

7. Keep a Positive Mindset

I always remind my couples that their wedding is about celebrating their love—rain won’t change that. Some of the best wedding stories (and most memorable images) come from unexpected moments, and I promise, your photos will reflect the joy of the day.

Final Thoughts

Rain doesn’t have to ruin your wedding photos. With a little preparation and the right approach, we can turn it into a fun, unique part of your day. Trust me—I’ve done this before, and I’ve got you covered (literally and figuratively). Let’s embrace the moment and create something beautiful together!
