This is the final part of the series “Rainy Day Weddings.”

Photographer Kim Chapman

Don't be afraid of the rain! They can be some of the most spectacular shots! Do be prepared with several matching umbrellas for the wedding party! Be daring! Run out into the rain! Catch the rainbow if you can!!

Photographer John Santerre

For many brides, talking about rain on their wedding day is tantamount to heresy, and it is something that photographers and wedding planners do only with great trepidation. But my best story came from an urban, sophisticated NYC bride. Concerned how she might respond I gingerly said, “You know, we really should make some plans in case the predicted rains come in.” To my surprise her face lit up, and she beamed. Her response (and I quote) was, “Oh don't you worry. I just bought the most fabulous pair of pink galoshes!”(Hence the name of my blog.)

Umbrellas are beautiful. The light as it breaks through clouds is spectacular. Think of bright white umbrellas over your bridal party. Rainy wedding photography almost always has a unique and distinct quality that will make you photos stand out.

Just remember to protect your shoes.
