Wedding Weather: How to Create Beautiful Images Even in the Rain

Rain is one of the most common worries before an outdoor wedding. It's not always the enemy people imagine, though. Here's how we prepare for it, and what it can actually bring to your images.

A backup plan, without the stress

A backup spot — a veranda, a hall, a covered porch — changes everything. It's best to talk it through with your venue ahead of time, so no one has to improvise under pressure.

Staying flexible with timing

Rain rarely lasts an entire day. By staying flexible with the order of events, you can often catch a clear spell and step outside for a few minutes.

A particular kind of light

An overcast sky gives soft, even light, without harsh shadows or squinting. It's actually a light many photographers appreciate for portraits.

What rain can add visually

An umbrella, puddles reflecting the light, a fogged-up window: rain also creates images a clear sky simply can't. A few simple accessories, planned ahead, are enough to make the most of it without any hassle.

Protecting the equipment

On our side, we always bring protective covers for cameras and video gear, so the weather never has to interrupt coverage of your day.

A rainy wedding is still a beautiful wedding. If the forecast is worrying you, get in touch well ahead of your date.
