About Kate Parker @ Kate Parker Weddings

A lot of brides are concerned with the one thing they have no control over -the weather. For outdoor weddings the weather can certainly put a damper on things, but if you plan ahead and have a great “rain scenario” it won't matter what the sky is doing.

I thought it would be a good idea to show some of the images that are captured from rainy day weddings and to ask some of my favorite photographers to give a bit of advice concerning the subject matter.

Photographer Amy Salerno:

On rainy days you get really wonderful light that makes the photos soft and moody, and I think it's really romantic. Besides, what's more romantic than holding your sweetie close while sharing an umbrella?

Photographer Michelle Turner:

So many brides are disappointed when the weather report calls for anything other than sun. However, rainy/overcast days can often produce dramatic skies that look incredible in photographs, and you don't have to worry about harsh shadows or squinting. Many brides are choosing to take their photographs outside in the rain and fog - with an umbrella in a downpour and without if the rain is just spitting. Some of my favorite photographs in my portfolio are from rainy and/or foggy days!

THANK you for this. I was just beginning to pout about the potential for rain. Moral — get a cute umbrella. Cute groomy? CHECK!

Thanks for sharing these. The extended forecast for our wedding keeps changing, but may include rain. Your tips made me feel a little less upset about the prospect…and those photos are dreamy and romantic. :)

What lovely photos! It’s been a rainy week in NJ, and I have a beach wedding later today… the skies have been clear, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for them!

Wow, the florals really seem to photograph more brightly on a rainy/cloudy day than a perfect one!
