Don’t let clouds rain on your wedding parade?

Modern Wedding Posted: December 1, 2011

There are lots of brides out there lying awake at night hoping and praying that rain doesn’t threaten their wedding (aka perfect) day. And there are lots of photographers out there hoping for just the opposite, that the sky provides a dramatic backdrop to their wedding shots. Yes, of course you would hate to be drenched in your expensive silk gown and your hair that took hours to do, but don’t let clouds bump you off cloud nine – they will dramatize your photos and have you wowing over them.

Wedding weather

The wedding of Cassie and Chris is one just wedding where mother-nature added some drama to an elegant beach wedding. Being water lovers, the couple both agreed that their ceremony would be on the beach… rain, hail or shine. With the massive clouds rolling in and they happily said their I-do’s and their photographer captured some incredible shots. The couple couldn’t have hoped for a better day!
