What if it Rains on your wedding day?

So what really happens if it rains on your wedding day? Will your wedding pictures be ruined, will your guests have a terrible time, or will you have good luck and be blessed with many years of happiness? This past season I have had the misfortune or perhaps good fortune, depending on your artistic point of view, of having shot several outdoor weddings that had more than their fair share of stormy weather on the wedding day! So what really happens and does everything really work out in the end?


Carmel Indiana: The outdoor ceremony was finished and the cocktails had just begun on the back patio when this monster storm rolled in. Everyone ran for cover under the tent and watched as an inch of rain and nickle sized hail poured down on us. The skies cleared though and by the end of the night the storm had become just one more part of this fairy tale wedding!


Oval Beach, Saugatuck Michigan: Wind whipped rain drenched people during the vows but the bride, groom, and their guests simply laughed it off. After the vows everyone ran for cover and by the time we got to the reception site the rain had cleared, the dress had dried and everyone had a story to tell!


Chicago Illinois: Torrential downpours kept this couple from San Francisco from completing their vows on Wrigley field but it didn't stop them from going out on the town for some amazing portraits in the rain!

As you can see by the pictures here, not only did the rain not ruin a single wedding day but it actually provided an amazing backdrop for what turned out to be 3 spectacularly beautiful and unique weddings! Now I wouldn't wish rain on anyone's wedding day but if some should happen to come your way I'd suggest just going with the flow, at the end of the day you'll be married to the love of your life, have an incredible story, and probably have some pretty amazing pictures to help you remember it all by!
