"I agree with David - umbrellas are a must for UK weddings, no matter what time of year! But I think that brides need to be realistic when planning the wedding, especially in temperate climates - there's always the chance that it'll rain a…"

"We all have an expectation that the weather will be fine on our wedding day particularly if our wedding day is in mid summer. In many cultures rain on your wedding day is in fact a lucky omen. The Italians have a saying “Sposa bagnata, sposa…"

Deluxe Holiday Gift Shop from a Boutique Wedding Photo Studio!

Take advantage of this exclusive special and give a portrait session as a holiday gift!As a wedding photographer, I know that the images of one's big day are some of the most important they'll ever have. But the rest of our lives is worth documenting, too. Beautiful, natural portraiture isn’t just a momentary gift; like your wedding photos, the images from a portrait session with Luminous will become future heirlooms for whomever you give them to.Should you give Luminous sessions this year?…See More

What are you doing to rain-proof your wedding photos?

Portland's rains have started up in earnest, and it's got me thinking back to the weddings I photographed all summer. Every one of my wedding couples this year got lucky with the weather, but in most cases the forecast made things look pretty uncertain in the weeks leading up to the weddings.

Portland Wedding Photography: Rain, Rain, Go Away!

The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful place. Green and lush year-round, it lends itself to beautiful, sweeping vistas and incredible natural settings for weddings, engagement and portrait shoots, etc. But the pitfall of living in such a lush place is the rain that falls for many months of the year. Most brides planning a Portland or Seattle wedding know they've got to have an "inclement weather contingency plan". What a downer, right? Naturally, you…See More
