Rain, Rain, Go A—No, Wait. Stay!

Rain on your special day? Don’t worry; it’s going to be gorgeous! We like to think of it as nature providing a gorgeous backdrop, subtly shifting colors and leaving the air feeling cool and refreshing. According to mythology, rain on a wedding day signifies many promising things—a clean start, a celebration, a renewal. Whether it’s a slight drizzle or a full-on downpour, we’ve got the perfect twists to keep your photo sessions spectacular!

• Make your utilities your accessories Umbrellas don’t have to ruin all the fun. Prepare for inclement weather by having a few umbrellas on hand that have unusual patterns and shapes or that go with your overall color palate.

Using umbrellas to add a pop of color is the perfect way to combat and complement misty surroundings. This bright yellow umbrella is like a burst of sunshine shining down on these two!

We love how this bride made her bridal party’s umbrellas the perfect accompaniments to their dresses. Extra love for the beautiful ‘parasol’ look, keeping it feminine and simple. These parasols work great for sunny or rainy days!

This bride chose a beautifully simple lace-patterned parasol for a stroll with her husband. Not only is it a great complement to her dress, it adds a little somethin’ to the shot as a whole.

• Leave the lighting to Mother Nature Rain exquisitely enhances natural lighting. Take it from us, your wedding photography will capture some great shadows and reflections that no one but nature could’ve pulled off.

See what we mean? The stunning reflection of light on the damp wood creates a subtle halo effect around the couple that we can’t get enough of!

• Step inside Even if you’ve chosen an outdoor venue for your celebrations, never underestimate how striking indoor shots can be.

If a picture speaks a thousand words, this one says it all. The bride is radiant in this indoor setting with simple lighting.

There you have it—anticipate for the possibility of rain and leave the rest to nature (and us)!
