Don’t Fear the Forecast:
How to Handle Rain on Your Wedding Day
I have a wedding coming up next weekend, and after checking the forecast, I saw rain might be in the mix. It instantly took me back to my own wedding day when the looming chance of rain brought its fair share of stress so I thought I'd share some thoughts that will hopefully eliminate some of the anxiety associated with unpredictable weather. Planning a wedding in Colorado means embracing breathtaking mountain views, golden aspen groves, and, yes, unpredictable weather. But here’s the thing, nature has its own way of making your day beautiful. If rain is in the forecast, take a deep breath. It’s not a setback; it’s an opportunity for an intimate, romantic, and uniquely stunning celebration. Imagine cozy umbrella kisses, misty backdrops, and those sweet, laughter-filled moments with the people you love most.

My thoughts and actions regarding wedding day rain:
Find Rain-Friendly Locations – I’ll scout covered or indoor spots for stunning portraits.
Provide Umbrellas – I keep two clear umbrellas for couples in my car on wedding days just in case.
With Rain comes Dreamy Light – Cloudy skies provide soft, diffused light that makes for breathtaking, romantic photos.
Keep Spirits High by Staying Positive – Maintaining an upbeat attitude can make all the difference, no matter the weather so I will bring my positive energy.
At the End of the Day…
Your wedding day will be meaningful and unforgettable because it’s a celebration of your love. Whether you’re exchanging vows in the mountains, a rustic setting, or an urban space, rain or shine, you’ll be surrounded by the people who matter most. Embrace the weather and create beautiful memories together!
