I'm getting married in 10 days and it shows a decent chance of rain...any ideas for how to handle the photography? I really wanted a few outdoor pictures at least...the rest can be at the church and reception site...Thanks!

Maybe you should change the date.
Call all the guests and tell them that if it does rain, the new date will be ______.

If you get unlucky and don't have at least a few minutes without rain, look for an overhang at the church or something that can serve as a cover for you and the wedding party.
We had a light sprinkle on our wedding day and the photographer put up a tarp high enough that it protected us from the rain and we were still able to get the pictures that we wanted. It looks like we had beautiful weather in every single picture!
Even with the rain, just enjoy yourself! And remember the reason why ou are getting married! It's not for the outdoor pictures but because you are in LOVE!
Congrats!

It poured all day the day I got married. We did our pictures at the bed and breakfast where we spent our wedding night. You really don't want to stand outside in the rain or wet with a white gown on. Is there anywhere near you where you could do cool indoor pictures? Call your photographer, they deal with this stuff all the time and should have some good advice for you. Hopefully the weather will clear up in time for next weekend. Good luck.

It rained on my wedding day and it was WONDERFUL!
We bought 6 HUGE umbrellas (one for each groomsman to hold for a bridesmaid) and then also for us.
When we walked out of the church, we were completely covered the whole way and have the best pictures of us in the center and our bridal party on the sides with all the guys holding up umbrellas. We even stopped for some pictures as our family and friends threw rice. Most of the pictures, we chose to do in black and white and they are our favorite ones.
I've heard it is good luck for it to rain on your wedding day! Don't worry too much about it! It will be perfect.

As the days approached to my wedding it became clear it was going to POUR all day and night. I woke to rain...it rained all day...it rained all night. In fact it rained for 8 days straight afterwards when we were on our honeymoon.
Rain didnt ruin anything. The day was FUN. It felt like night time even though it was in the day. I wanted outside pics but never got them...nothing you can do about it. Just enjoy the whole thing. I loved being surrounded by everyone I loved and we had a blast with all of them. It was memorable.

Are there any waterfront venues with super abode windows and cathedral-style ceilings the place you will get married? Like a convention hall in a intense high quality inn? you are able to desire to have the excellent factor with regard to the open feeling with the convenience of understanding your happy day purely isn't rained out. i became married mid-March in Northern California -- no longer an stunning time to get married. as quickly as we checked the venue out the month in the previous our wedding ceremony, there became a Valentine's Day bride who became having the main outrageous tantrum because of the fact it became pouring rain. In wintry climate. In Northern California. Which rather isn't a marvel, yet she acted as though the worldwide had conspired against her. A sunny Valentine's Day is the rarity, and that she have been given married in the process El Nino became yet another issues she could have seen. you recognize what the climate is like -- you are going to be functional. i could shop the easy cruise for the honeymoon and characteristic the marriage indoors, as much as that's making you unhappy to attain this. evaluate how being rained out could make you sense then plan to that end. That suggested, possibly having the marriage planned for the boat and accepting it is going to in all probability be interior the boat then be fortuitously stunned no rely if it rather is a uncommon, sunny day might desire to be properly well worth the threat for you. I had 2 exterior weddings which went off superbly -- as we went to the reception for the two, it began to rain. It purely did no longer rain on my wedding ceremony days, even with the incontrovertible fact that. And, ultimately, I truthfully have by no ability seen happier marriages than those that have loopy or humorous wedding ceremony memories. each and every now and then dancing barefoot interior the rain with the guy of your objectives is greater advantageous than you think of. additionally, I strongly recommend you become a Jehovah's Witness like your husband; whilst little ones get here, how a determine worships God will become a controversy, and while you're no longer committed on your early existence faith yet, you would be whilst it is composed of progeny. in case you share God, then you extremely will finally end up in an exceedingly sturdy place over the subsequent 50 years.

This happened to me. the day i got married there was a monsoon. roads were closed we had to actually push the whole thing back an hour. I just had to deal with it. no matter how much i wanted the whole outdoor thing. i knew it wasn't going to happen. you have to prepare yourself for it and try your best to be okay with it. For me it actually turned out to be great because i got to spend more time at the reception rather than having to take all the pictures, and as many people will tell you it goes by soo fast.

It rained on our wedding too - actually, it poured. We were fortunate that the reception hall was attached to the church so people didn't have to leave once there.
Rain is actually a symbol of good luck on wedding days - contrary to popular belief. If you tie a knot and pour water on it, the knot is actually harder to pull apart. Anyway, it rained on our first date so we looked at it as meant to be :)

Not going to rain on your wedding day. Don't fret. Think positive!
Rent a fancy white umbrella from a bridal shop and you and your groom can snuggle under it. Makes for great outdoor pictures if it showers!

I say if it is raining you will probably have to forget the outdoor pics. Or hope for a break at least to get a few in. Good luck!

If it is raining, find a place that is covered, like a porch nearby or something. Otherwise...if it were me...(it rained on my wedding day) Just run out pose real quick and have the photog take the pic and then run back....they will turn out great and will be a fun memory!
