 Make rainy-day plans for your formal photos.  We hope you get a gorgeous day, but sometimes Mother Nature does not cooperate.

If possible, leave a little "fudge factor" in the scheduling of events.  Delays can and often do happen!


Consider having your formal photos taken before the ceremony.  Many couples are choosing this option in order to attend the cocktail hour, allowing more time to be spent with their guests.
