Sometimes you just have to put on your rain boots, hold an umbrella, and smile for the photographer.

That is what this incredible couple and their fun-loving bridal party did on a rainy June day.

I used to get nervous when it would pour down rain on a wedding day. These days, I don’t mind the rain, I even embrace it. And when the heavens rained down on us on Nicole and Alex’s wedding day, it was quite the adventure.

I loved all the vintage touches throughout this wedding, from Nicole’s adorable shoes to her lace gown with the pretty pink ribbon around her waist. Roses and baby’s breath were everywhere from the bouquets to the romantic creamy cake.

Since both the bride and groom are artists, I loved the artistic touches, which include the wood cufflinks the groom created, his unique wedding band, and an arts and crafts children’s table at the reception.

I absolutely loved the woodsy setting at the C. Barton McCann School of Art, located within the mountains of Central Pennsylvania. My childhood home is not too far from this venue, and always loved running through the tall green ferns. Speaking of ferns, they were all around the venue, and even included the table flower arrangements.

Guests were sent home with bottles of pink champagne and memories of a beautiful day celebrating two people so in love.

Congratulations Nicole and Alex! You both blew me away with your graceful spirits and kind souls. It was a true honor to document your day, even if that meant getting soaking wet. The rain just made everything more beautiful.

Rain is what makes the flowers grow, and perhaps also, love.
