The Brides worst Nightmare_realized

It was the Brides worst nightmare coming true. Just when she was supposed to walk down to the awning by the river where nearly 50 guests were already waiting it started to rain. I was asked to go see what her plans might be and by the time I got to the house it was raining much harder. Then it really started to come down and the decision made to move it to the church. Here are a few of the images over the next 45 minutes. Oh just in case you might be wondering, yes this is the same bride that I photographed in the rain last week doing her bridal pictures outside near her home where the wedding was to take place.

The brides father (on the left, the tall one) coming up from the river through a river of falling water.


A guest puddle jumping his way to the car.



Just an idea of how much water fell, there was no puddle an hour earlier when I arrived.



The groom under the blue umbrella heading to the car to go to the church.



The bride (yes the one with the veil in her hair and the dress on her arm) headed to the car as well a few minutes later.


It will always be a wedding to remember.

A cool Chevy

A friend of mine asked me to take pictures of his son's wedding open house. He mainly wanted to have some extra ones taken of his CHEVY. That i must admit was fun. Thanks Spanky

The Rain Effect

So I said I would put some from the rain on the blog. This first one was taken between storms.


Then we went down by the river under the trees and it started to rain. See the drops on the umbrella.


It is hard to focus as you are running backwards and it is raining very hard and you are worried about the brides dress. This wasn't a "Trash the Dress" shoot.


However with rain storms and late evenings you get the beautiful rainbows.


Yes I extended the rainbow, it was a hurried job but could get to be kind of fun with time to work on it a little longer.

Same effects , different bride

So this week I had two brides for bridals and it rained both times. Ya just gotta love this rain we have been getting but it does make taking outside photos a bit of a challenge. Anyway I will put some of those on later but here is one of the images I took while inside. Same four effects as with the last bride yet the pictures are totally different.
