After months, or maybe even years of planning, there’s always one thing we can’t plan ourselves; the weather. But!! We can prepare ourselves for rain on your wedding day. My biggest wish as a wedding photographer in Kansas City is that I could have magical powers to control the weather.

Do you know rain on your wedding day is actually good luck?? 🌧

You know the saying “tying the knot” well, rain on a knot is only going to make it tighter and harder to undo. Rain on your wedding day symbolizes adding strength to your marriage. 

This saying might have only come around to help keep couples calm when the weather isn’t ideal on their day, but the sentiment is cute☔️ 

And as a Kansas City wedding photographer, I have a few real tips to actually help you if it rains on your day:

1. Have a back up plan

If you’re planning for an outdoor ceremony have a way to prevent your guests from getting soaked. This could be moving your ceremony indoors or a big tent on hand you can set up if needed. 

2. Buy some clear umbrellas

Clear umbrellas are great for your wedding party to use during photos, this will add to the aesthetic of the day and you’ll still be able to have photos outside! Check these out from amazon.

3. Embrace it!!

I know rain on your wedding probably isn’t what you were dreaming about since you were little, but remember when you were a kid and you begged your parents to let you go play in the rain? Bring that energy into your wedding day! 

And besides; who doesn’t love a romantic kiss in the rain? Your whole wedding day will be like a movie.

Always remember; even on the rainiest of days the storm will always clear. You might even get a few precious moments of you and your love outside with the cloudy skies or maybe even a little sunshine.
