Brisbane Wet Weddings

If you’re feeling a little unsure about how to tackle your Bridal party photos in the rain then fear not !
All you need do is grab some brolly’s and soldier on, you laugh in the face of mother nature and have an awesome time in spite of the bad weather..

Let’s be honest — wet weddings in Brisbane aren’t just part of the job… they’re a bit of an adventure. Nothing quite says “I do” like soggy shoes, misted-up lenses, and a whole lot of romantic chaos. But truthfully? I love it. Give me a bit of drizzle and a couple willing to embrace it, and I’m in my element — somewhere between a wedding photographer and a part-time duck.

Brisbane’s subtropical mood swings mean rain at weddings is practically a rite of passage. But that’s where the magic hides. The rain adds this gorgeous, cinematic softness to everything — raindrops on roses (literally), glistening backdrops, and hair that no longer behaves but still somehow looks incredible. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s way more memorable than a cloudless sky.

There’s a kind of honest beauty in a couple laughing under an umbrella or sharing a kiss in the drizzle while nan’s yelling something about catching pneumonia in the background. These are the moments I live for — unfiltered, messy, wonderful slices of life.

The rain also turns Brisbane into a film set. Parks glow, puddles sparkle, and city landmarks get all moody and broody like they’ve been watching too many French films. It’s the perfect recipe for photos that feel alive — like they’ve got their own heartbeat.

Plus, wet weddings bring out the playful side of people. Whether it’s groomsmen trying to rescue decorations mid-downpour or bridesmaids dancing barefoot in the rain, there’s a spontaneous energy that’s impossible to fake. And that makes for killer photos — the kind you’ll actually want to frame, not just post on your socials.

So yeah, photographing rainy weddings isn’t always dry or easy… but that’s what makes them epic. They’re about embracing the moment, whatever the weather — and turning wet socks into wonderful stories.
