Thoughts on a Rainy Day Wedding- YAY or NAY?

Dohm_0311_MMPAlthough we don’t see it often, this year it seems May has been a bit… well damp.  For couples (and their photographers) who are in love with an outdoor wedding, hearing the chance of rain on your wedding day can spur some depressing thoughts, dohn_0003j_mmphowever major kudos to our couples who experience this minor occurrence as all have shrugged off a little shower or major downpour and simply enjoyed their celebrations.  The best way to offer thoughts and tips if rain is on the radar for your wedding can only be expressed by recapping Brianna & Travis’s wedding at the Lancaster Eden Resort.

Dohm_0526_MMPThe fun and carefree couple had planned for an outdoor, courtyard ceremony with a short jaunt to a local Lancaster park for beautiful outdoor creative portraits, yet mother nature decided differently.  Bri & Travis were definitely prepared (as everyone planning an outdoor wedding should) and snatched up beautiful matching umbrellas for their bridal party and a large black golf for themselves which from what I heard were a steal at 5 Below.  Brianna and Travis’s attendants also took a page from the “How to be a gold star member of the bridal party” and made the best of it.. no complaints, no smugness, just happy and hilarious as the sky dropped huge buckets of rain during the bridal party shots.  We even got a break in the rain just in time for the couple portraits!

Most photographers actually love shooting on a rainy day as not everyone can capture gorgeous images when the elements are against them with lighting and how the subject will react.  Rain also makes the surroundings glisten.. but enough on my opinion and YAY vote.. you be the judge:)

Randi & Brian November 9, 2013

We say it often and words cannot express how blessed we are for such amazing clients and practicing our passion turned profession.  One person who always counts her blessings and passes along good cheer, our bride Randi, celebrated her gorgeous day marrying the love of her life, Brian on a gorgeous late fall afternoon.  I loved the personal touches from beginning to end that the couple added to their day, including horns for their exit from the church, a parade of classic vehicles, and a massive sweet treats favor bar!  One of my favorite moments was capturing the first dance.  The couple had practiced over a year, even polished off a few steps during their engagement session, yet mastered a gorgeous moment to share with each other and their guests.  Wishing warmest congratulations to Randi and Brian and many years of deserved happiness!
