A rainy day with magical moments

Would you believe me if I told you it rained ALL day—except for 10 minutes here and there?

Kayleigh and Jay’s wedding reception took place in a marquee in Bidford, North Devon, right next to the river that winds through the village. It’s rare for it to rain all day, but this was one of those rare occasions.


Despite the unpredictable weather, Kayleigh and Jay embraced the day with smiles and laughter, proving that nothing could dampen their joy.





The Bride's Look

Kayleigh’s bridal was absolutely stunning - Her hair was the centerpiece that brought it all together with Hollywood platinum waves, chic jewelry from Indie Grace Bridal, and shoes from Harlo, an Australian bridal brand she adored. Her stunning gown from Indie Grace Bridal was complemented by a pearl-embellished veil by Mariana Hardwick. She carried a lush green and white bouquet by Church Park Flowers, which perfectly blended elegance with the rustic marquee reception.

Capturing Moments Between the Rain

Just as Kayleigh arrived at the church, the rain miraculously paused, allowing her to make her entrance to the church without a single drop falling. Another small break came right when confetti was thrown outside, giving us just enough time to capture those family group shots before the rain returned.





It rained relentlessly all day, the longest stretch without rain came after the ceremony when we seized the opportunity to step outside the marquee and head to a Manor House. The grounds provided the perfect backdrop for romantic, intimate portraits, elegant, Italian villa vibes - pure magic.

Kayleigh and Jay completely trusted me, relaxed in front of my camera, and the results? Absolutely breathtaking.


Despite the rain, this wedding was a testament to the fact that love and joy shine through in every moment. Their trust, relaxed energy, and those little pockets of golden opportunity created a wedding gallery filled with elegance, emotion, and unforgettable moments.










 


What If It Rains on Your Wedding Day?

A common question couples ask: What happens if it rains and we want outdoor photos? Here's how I handle it:


I keep an eye on the weather and adjust the timeline if needed. If the rain pauses and you're happy to slip outside for 20 minutes, we’ll make it happen!


Many venues have beautiful interiors, and we can find hidden gems inside your venue to create stunning, intimate photos.


If it truly pours all day and the outdoors is a no-go, we can always schedule a post-wedding shoot at a location of your choice (though, truthfully, that’s never been needed!).


Rain or shine, your photos will be nothing short of magical.
