Everyone dreams of a perfect wedding day. Clear blue skies, bright sun, good temperature, and everything will be perfect. So what do you do if it rains?
In this new blog post we’re gonna talk about some photography tips brides and photographers can use to be prepared if you have a rainy wedding day!
Are you planning on having your wedding ceremony or portraits outside? When choosing an outdoor venue, scope out some sheltered areas that can be used for your wedding party portraits. These can include awnings, gazebos, porches, and even trees!
If you’re not up to get a little wet or if it’s raining too hard, you can also use your reception venue as a back-up. The decor of your reception can create a beautiful backdrop for portraits.
If all else fails, plan for the next day to come back with your photographer for more photos! This is something I’ve done with brides from time to time over the years.
The best thing to do if rain is in the forecast on your wedding day is invest in clear umbrellas! Clear bubble or dome shaped umbrellas allow natural light to come through and doesn’t take away from a bride’s beautiful hair style, makeup, and dress. Umbrellas can also work as lovely props if the rain starts to subside, it can create a romantic and whimsical effect to your photos.
There’s no way you’re going to stay completely dry, so you might as well embrace it! Everyone loved playing in the rain as a child, embrace that feeling! Don’t be afraid of getting wet and having fun in the rain with the love of your life. Having rain on your wedding day shouldn’t get you down, look at it as an opportunity to get some beautiful and unique photos!
The light that is produced on overcast rainy days is some of the best lighting you can get, it’s soft and very romantic; and nothing’s more romantic than rain.
The best tip we can give you is that you just have to embrace it! This is your special day, don’t let rain get your mood down! It doesn’t get more romantic than you and your significant other trading vows in the rain. That scene alone makes your wedding unforgettable. Who doesn’t love a good Nicholas Sparks raining kiss scene?
At the end of the day, you are getting married to the love of your life – rain or shine. Rain might not be ideal, but if planned for correctly, it can offer you beautiful photos and make your special day even greater than you could imagine.
