Alli & Mitchell | Intimate Rainy-Day Wedding | Middletown, Virginia

Have you ever seen so many big laughs on a wedding day?
So many silly family photos?
This amount of JOY.

I love these two so much. Their wedding day was the sweetest ever, and the weather was WILD, going through everything possible from downpour to bright sun, back and forth.

Rainy wedding days are my favorite - it’s almost forcing you to just let go and make the absolute best of the day.


They got ready in their parents’ homes - their ceremony was in a tiny small-town church, and their reception location (which was changed 2 weeks before the wedding?) had an incredible view for watching the rain storm ebb and flow. The dance party was lively, the food was delicious, and AGAIN the smiles were huge.

So, if you’re worried about rain on your wedding day, I promise that it doesn’t ruin anything. Your wedding dress will show signs that you wore it and had a BLAST, you’ll have gorgeous even lighting for photos, and you get to snuggle together even more.

Mairi & Jude also had thunderstorms on their wedding day - except their reception was all outside in her parent’s backyard and the mud was real.
