Rain or Shine: Capturing Your Pacific Northwest Love Story

If there's one thing I've learned from photographing countless love stories in this enchanting region, it's that the Pacific Northwest doesn't let a little rain dampen its magic. In fact, it often adds a touch of whimsy to your special day. So, let's dive into some practical advice and inspiration to ensure your wedding is as unforgettable as your love, regardless of the weather.

Venue Wisdom: Finding Your Perfect Blend of In and Out

First things first, choose a venue that embraces the great outdoors but also has a cozy indoor space to escape the raindrops if needed. Think enchanting gardens, rustic barns, or stylish urban spaces that offer both the magic of nature and the comfort of shelter. This dual-natured venue will provide the flexibility needed to dance in the rain or toast indoors.

Weather-Proofing Your Decor

Now, let's talk decor. Think weather-resistant, not weather-averse. Opt for decor that plays well with raindrops or sunshine. Tents, umbrellas, and clear vinyl coverings can become part of the aesthetic, and trust me, they make for fantastic photo opportunities. It's all about embracing the elements and turning them into elements of your love story.

Seeing Beauty in Raindrops

I'm here to let you in on a little secret – rainy weddings can be incredibly romantic.

Let me capture the unique beauty that only the Pacific Northwest rain can bring to your wedding album.

Cozy Comfort for All

Your guests' comfort is a top priority, rain or shine. Provide stylish umbrellas, blankets, and perhaps a hot cocoa station. These thoughtful touches not only keep everyone snug but also add an extra layer of charm to your photos.

A Flexible Timeline
