There is the worry every bride has. Even if her wedding is an indoor occasion, everybody wants blue skies, and 80 degrees and a few of those gorgeous puffy white clouds giving just enough cover for memorable wedding day pictures. Let’s face it, every girl dreams about what her wedding day is going to be like and it does not call for rain, thunderstorms and a chance of hail. Well about two years ago that was exactly the forecast at a beautiful outdoor wedding planned for one bride. Her wedding was at the Piedmont Garden Room and Piedmont Garden Tent in downtown Atlanta on the edge of Piedmont Park. It is a great location and like you should plan with every wedding there is a backup plan. If the wedding is outdoors often a reception tent can double as a quick shelter from rain.
As a photographer for many years I have learned to see rain as an opportunity for some very unique images of the day. After all rain can be a beautiful thing in photography. I look for opportunities to use reflections of water pooling on the ground or the soft overcast light for beautiful images. I even bring a colorful umbrella for those kissing under the umbrella shots.
So if rain is in the forecast for your wedding day, don’t sweat it. First relax, there Is nothing you can do to stop the rain, just make sure you have a very experienced photographer that day and just enjoy it!
