Outside or inside venue? What if it rains?

Posted on March 19, 2022March 19, 2022 by Nina Chappel

Weddings can be very stressful. Any chance you get to make your day less stressful, take it.

Sometimes it’s unavoidable: you fall in love with a venue and you have to have it no matter what. I’m not saying to give up on your dream venue if they don’t have a rain plan, definitely think it through and come up with a solution before you book the venue.

If your reception is going to be inside, you can always modify the layout to make room for an altar and a few small rows of chairs for close family, and the guests can still sit at their tables.

A tent can also be a great addition if the venue doesn’t already have a rain plan.

You don’t want to get to the week of your wedding just to be refreshing your weather app every 5 minutes to see if the chance of rain is changing. It’s not worth the stress.

And, if it does happen to rain on your wedding day…I might just take you outside for a few memorable moments.

Not only is Nina an amazing photographer but she’s a fantastic person as well. My family has been so blessed by the fun and gorgeous pictures she has taken for us. She always makes pictures so fun and makes us feel comfortable. From family to Wedding photos she’s my Go-To!Amanda Tornello
Nina is a wizard with a camera! She has been a joy to work with for every occasion from high school graduation to engagement photos. She has a knack for capturing each subject in their natural element, while producing photographs that far exceeded any expectations.Caleb Helsley
My husband and I hate having our picture taken, but Nina set us at ease and made our engagement photo experience fun. She was creative and quickly captured natural, radiant shots that I thought were not within reach for two people typically uncomfortable in front of the lens. It was a given that we would use her again for the wedding - and she over-delivered. We will cherish the photos Nina has done for us for the rest of time!Kaitlin Jones
Stop searching for a photographer RIGHT NOW and hire Nina Chappel. She did an AMAZING job with my elopement and made me feel like the most beautiful bride there ever was. For someone who is a bit insecure about getting their picture taken, Nina made me feel like a supermodel. Also helps that she's a star wars fan like we are 💗Sarah Alter
