What if it rains?

Rain on the wedding day is one of the biggest concerns for couples. It doesn’t happen very often for us, but when it does, we come fully prepared. We can’t control the weather, but we can help get the best possible outcome. Jen and Mark had a beautiful ceremony location and reception venue. The reception venue is known for it’s gorgeous landscaping and beautiful gardens. The problem was that it rained. No, it poured from after the ceremony until dark, eliminating any possibility of outside shots.
What the photographers can do in this situation can make all the difference. Most of the venue was taken up by guests of the couple, limiting what we could do inside. I decided to shoot them on the staircase, but it wasn’t particularly ornate. Great lighting can make the ordinary extraordinary and really transform any situation into something amazing.
Be sure to take a look at Jen & Mark’s preview slideshow to see how the day went.
