Duke Gardens Wedding: Rain or Shine, Photos Shine!

Share

I love doing outdoor weddings but, occasionally, you have to sometimes make lemonade from light rain that falls during the ceremony.  This lovely Duke Gardens Wedding was held at the Amphitheater and, just as the ceremony was to begin, a light rain began to fall.  While many people think this is terrible, it actually gives the most incredible light to work with.  The ceremony went beautifully and the heavy rain held off until well after we were done.  We managed to get outside afterward and use this incredibly gorgeous light to capture some beautiful wedding day photos of the happy couple.  I hope you enjoy a few of their photos!
