Rain on your wedding day. It’s supposed to be considered serendipitous, right? Oh, how I remember a wedding day based on the weather. Perhaps it’s true, I’m secretly an 80 year old in a 30ish year old body worrying about the weather every minute – at least on a wedding day. Amy + Charlie’s big day did start perfectly at the Chase Park Plaza, where both the ceremony and reception were held. That made it easy for a Plan B. Luckily, because Amy + Charlie did a “First Look” near the Chase, we were able to get portraits in before the deluge and winds began. There was a moment when one of the bridesmaids asked if we should take cover or worry because the weather.com app tornado warning beeping on her phone. I nervously made that EEEEeeee face where you suck in air. …but I think we kept shooting. Later, I heard all the customers at Whole Foods had to take cover in the storage freezers (or something like that!) Right as the ceremony began, the rain drops vanished and a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. Pretty surreal for guests to experience this on the rooftop of the Starlight Room!
Katie Saeger with Simply & Forever, the planner + designer, always puts on a well-organized, detail-filled day. I’m sure you will agree when you see the photos! This couple is really super cute together. 🙂 We enjoy couples who are fun, kind and have the ability to just roll with it, including the weather. My favorite part of the evening – a choreographed diddy! I smiled the entire time as I was culling (photog term: sorting through photos).
Enjoy the photos!
