Kristy & Frank

There's nothing quite like a day covered by constant rain to put you in the mood for a wedding, right? Right! Well... maybe not to everyone but we've said it once and we'll say it a thousand more times: photographers love the rain. You get some really cool shots, the colors are brighter, no one is squinting because of the sun. In short: we love the rain. We know not every bride feels the same way, and we know that Kristy wished for better weather for her special day, but she definitely prepared for the rain.
Kristy and her bridesmaids rushed to Target when it looked like the weather just wasn't going to take a turn towards the sunny side and bought really cute see-through umbrellas. In fact, umbrellas were sort of a theme of the day: umbrellas for the bride and groom, umbrellas overhead to keep the camera dry.... monstrous winds utterly destroying one of the Heyn Photo golf umbrellas. Even the gazebo we took pictures in had the vague shape and design of an umbrella!
Despite the weather Kristy and Frank managed to get some really amazing shots. There were also some pretty important life lessons such as the strength of an umbrella is in its wind resistance, not its width, and if the groom must get wet to keep the bride dry...then the groom just has to get wet.
These were two special people and we're happy we got to share their day with them!
