VINTAGE VIBES & SUMMER RAIN
Helen and Rich’s big day was wet—very wet. In fact, it was one of the dampest July weddings I have ever shot. However, rather than letting the weather dampen their spirits, they leaned into it. Helen arrived prepared with blue Hunter wellies, umbrellas, and a rain mac, ensuring the weather was part of the fun rather than an obstacle.
The day had a wonderful vintage feel, from Helen’s dress to the hair and makeup. This classic style perfectly complemented the unique surroundings of Avoncroft Museum, giving the entire celebration a cool, wistful atmosphere. A MUSEUM OF POSSIBILITIES
Avoncroft Museum is an incredible open-air archive featuring 30 rescued buildings, from industrial structures to a fully working windmill. It is a photographer's dream, with something interesting around every corner.
We even managed a few drizzly moments on the miniature trains before the heavens opened again! They say rain on your wedding day is good luck because a wet knot is much harder to untie. If that is true, Helen and Rich have the best luck in the world.
Rainy Day Advice: Don't fight the weather. If it rains, grab some wellies and a brolly. Some of the most memorable and creative shots happen when you just go with the flow and enjoy the moment.
