Beth & Burt: Historic St. Mary’s Wedding Photography

They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck, but to be honest, whenever I hear rain in the forecast for one of my couples, my heart breaks just a little bit. I know at the end of the day, they’ll be married and we’ll have captured beautiful moments — some of which wouldn’t be possible without the weather, like when the bride’s dress billows in the wind! But I also know that it’s not what they envisioned for their day and sometimes letting go of that idea can be hard.

So when Hurricane Joaquin threatened Beth and Burt’s wedding, I packed my umbrellas (all 12 of them) and waited to see how the weather would unfold. The weather, however, never really seemed to be an issue for Beth and Burt. And I think this speaks volumes to the kind of people they are and their commitment to one another. It didn’t matter what was going on outside. What mattered was that they were taking a step to formally begin their lives together and from this day forward, they would face any challenges, or hurricanes, as the case may be, hand in hand!
