HOT TOPIC: wedding worries Our experts solve your problems WHATEVER THE WEATHER How can we capture amazing outdoor pictures at our October wedding if the weather turns bad? Couples often say to me, ‘what happens if it rains?’ Even in the height of summer (not that we had much of one this year), rain can land on your wedding day. We always tell our couples not to worry; there are plenty of ways to capture romantic images, even in the rain. In October, we have the lovely colours of autumn coming through, which creates a stunning backdrop. The rain can also provide opportunities you may not get in the summer. For example, we love a good reflection, and often a freshly formed puddle gives the perfect opportunity for this. We also love a bit of off-camera flash twinned with an umbrella; it can give you some stunning photos, such as the one photographed. If, however, you don’t feel like braving the weather, we can often produce some stunning images inside, no matter what the venue. So don’t worry; even if the weather is not on your side, you can still get some amazing photos!
