“But What If It Rains?” ☔

This is one of the most common questions we get during wedding season—and we completely understand why. No one dreams of rain on their big day. But if the skies do open up… take a deep breath, because it’s going to be just fine. Truly.

We promise you this: you will still have stunning, memorable portraits.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

💧 It won’t rain forever
Here’s some reassurance from experience: in over 600 weddings, we’ve never had a day where it rained non-stop from start to finish. Even on the wettest days, there’s almost always a 5–10 minute break in the weather—and we’ll be ready to dash out and make the most of it!

Yes, it may mean tweaking the timeline or slipping out during canapés or even missing a few bites of dinner—but those spontaneous, joy-filled moments dodging puddles and chasing the light often turn into the most unforgettable memories (and photos!).

💧 Clear umbrellas = your new best friend
We always recommend having a few clear umbrellas on hand. They look great in photos and let in beautiful light while keeping you (somewhat) dry. If the weather is just drizzly, these are perfect. If it’s a full-on storm, they may not do much—but we’ll still be watching and waiting for that break in the clouds.

💧 This is where having a second shooter helps a lot
When it’s raining, our second shooter becomes a rain scout—keeping an eye out for clear skies while we continue photographing other parts of the day. As soon as there’s a break, we move fast! With two photographers, we can shoot from multiple angles and make every minute count.

💧 Bring the boots!
Comfy boots are a must for wet-weather weddings—especially if your venue has grass or gravel paths. Don’t worry, they’ll be hidden under your dress, and you’ll be so glad you’re not slipping around in heels.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you’re marrying your person. Rain can’t change that. And years from now, when you’re telling the story of your wedding day, you’ll remember how you embraced the weather, laughed through the raindrops, and still ended up with the most magical photos.

So if it rains? We’ve got you. 💛
