No question....rain has to be one of the most feared disasters that can happen on a wedding day. And rightely so. It's easy to envision your guests diving for dryer locations as they cover their heads with your custom programs. For Jessica she sat in front of a mirror putting on her make up as she heard the sound of icy pellets hitting the ground. As she got to her knees and peered out the window she saw a snowy landscape on a June afternoon. Tears welled up in her eyes as she contemplated the scenario that was unfolding outside.
Now, out of the 170+ weddings Eddie and I have shot we have never once had to photograph a rainy wedding. It may have sprinkled before or after the ceremony, but never when it really counted. And just like the 170 weddings before them, Jessica and Chris found that the sun fought off the clouds enough to create the June like wedding they were hoping for.


But, there are a lot of goods that come with rain and actually make for some pretty knock out photos. Before or after rain is the absolute best time to take pictures. The landscape is lush and colorful. Not to mention that the clouds are dark, dramatic and beautiful. And if you are one of those brides that wouldn't mind venturing into the sprinkles you can always capture some pretty amazing shots.


Jessica + Chris took advantage of the twilight photoshoot and captured a few shots as the rain came tumbling down.
