Some weddings are picture-perfect blue skies, but others? Others are an absolute muddy, wet, and joy-filled adventure—and I LOVE THEM!
This Dorset farm wedding was hands-down the wettest wedding of the year… and honestly, it made it even more incredible. When people ask me, “What happens if it rains?” my answer is simple:
WE GET WET! ☔🌧️
And that’s exactly what we did.
The Perfect Outdoor Wedding… Rain or Shine
From the very start, this couple embraced the wild and wonderful outdoors. A beautiful farm setting, surrounded by rolling countryside, with a relaxed, festival-style vibe—the perfect setup for an epic celebration.
And then came the rain. Not a light drizzle. Not a passing shower. Proper, full-on, soak-you-to-the-bone RAIN. But did it stop the fun? Absolutely not.
Out came the wellies, coats, extra socks, and a whole lot of laughter. There were moments of sheltering under umbrellas, spontaneous muddy dance-offs, and some of the most joyful, care-free, and real wedding moments I’ve ever had the pleasure of capturing.
Why Rainy Weddings Are The Best
Here’s the thing about outdoor weddings—they’re unpredictable, and that’s what makes them magical. You can plan every detail, but sometimes Mother Nature has her own ideas.
But let me tell you something: some of the best wedding photos happen in the rain. The romance of dancing under stormy skies, the reflections in puddles, the way couples cling to each other, laughing as they embrace the weather—it’s the kind of magic you just can’t plan for.
This wedding was proof that rain doesn’t ruin a wedding—it makes it even more unforgettable.
Top Tips for a Rainy Wedding Day
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding and worried about the weather, here’s my advice:
✔ Pack wellies & warm layers – Wet feet? No problem! A good pair of boots means you can stomp through the mud and still enjoy every second.
✔ Embrace it – The best thing you can do is laugh, dance, and enjoy the moment. Rainy wedding photos? They’re next-level stunning.
✔ Have a stash of dry socks – Trust me, your feet will thank you later.
✔ Think about cover – A marquee, tipi, or even just a stash of big umbrellas can keep guests comfy during downpours.
✔ Remember the vitamins – You might not think of this one, but a boost of Vitamin C helps when you’ve been running around in the rain all day!
Would I Do It Again?
In a heartbeat.
This couple didn’t just roll with the punches, they embraced the chaos, danced in the rain, and made their wedding truly unforgettable. That’s what it’s all about—real moments, real love, and making the absolute most of every second.
