Rain on your wedding day is awesome storytime
Del Sol Photography is known for epic rain photographs, so much so that we even had a bride who told us she wished for rain on her wedding day! She got her wish, and we took some of our favorite rain pictures. You can see Holly and Matthew’s amazing rainy wedding at el Taj here.
What happens when it is going to rain and you have an oncoming crazy storm or potentially a hurricane. You are then told by the goverment will need to evacuate all 40+ of your guests off the island and escape the storm the day before it arrives: The awesome adventure who had a theme Mission Mexico 007
I love how you guys stated, “We love to shoot in the rain.” This statement represents how confident the photographers are. Nothing, not even rain, gets in the middle of the dedication and excellence of work. – Alex + Rick
“Del Sol Photography literally turned our rainy day wedding into a rainbow and captured the fiery sunset in images that still leave me speechless. Laura + Andres – Now Jade Wedding
“I have also seen some of your albums where it was raining and you made the absolute best of it… it almost looked as though diamonds were falling from the sky! I like the confidence in knowing that even rain can’t stop you guys from doing awesome work.” – Stephanie + Matt
We must mention Elisa, who is also the author of the most hilariously charming “what happens if it rains” emails ever! She told us “it’s going to rain…. on your wedding day” is the ultimate doomsday phrase to a bride.
“The word “RAIN” is a forbidden word for a bride… I was getting ready for work one morning when Corey dropped the bomb on me: “It’s going to RAIN on our wedding day.” He casually said the forbidden word “RAIN” as if he were saying “GOOD MORNING.” My panic ultimately led to the conclusion that I was going to send Corey to the lumber yard because he is going to build his future wife an ark to save the wedding day. THANK GOD the team at Del Sol calmed my “BRIDE BRAIN” and sent me pictures of what they can do to turn a rainy wedding day blunder into something fabulous.
Mexico does have a rainy season which brings advantages like missing both high season prices and crowds. We cannot predict if the season will be rainy or not, some years see only a few showers while others include wet weeks. We had a couple plan their wedding day for the weather almanac’s driest day of the year… it rained! What’s for sure is that there can always be a backup plan: don’t be afraid to ask hotels and vendors how they deal with rainy weather.
