While I sit here in my studio this morning looking over the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside I am reminded of the one thing we can't predict when it comes to a wedding.  The weather!

I am always reminded of a conversation I had with a client when preparing to film their day.  They mentioned that they had originally chosen a wonderful venue on the river near henley.  I filmed an amazing day there only the year before.  On my wedding anniversary as it happened.  Anyway it was a wonderful day when I was there and the weather really helped to make the day.  The client a year later however said that they were concerned that if it was not beautifully sunny that the venue could not cope easiily with bad weather.

And so it was that I was driving up to their home on their actual wedding day, in the rain!  Reminded that there always needs to be a contingency plan.  Thankfully the venue they ended up with was ideally suited to both sunshine or rain.

Do talk to your venue - they will be able to advise what options there are if the weather is not perfect.  In any case many of my photography collegues tell me that bright sunshine is not as good as cloud for their shots.

Happy Planning!
