When I think about joyful and colorful events I think of this wedding at Deer Park Villa in Fairfax, Ca!
Sam + Priya said I do amongst the redwoods which is the main draw for this Northern California venue.
And if you are looking for inspo on how to have an amazing wedding day despite rain or bad weather look no further.





Concerned rain on your wedding day will make the photos look dull or grey? Oddly, the opposite occurs. Colors and tones are more rich and vibrant, especially mid day which you can see in their photos.
And rain itself can add an interesting atmospheric look.











What struck me most was how personal and unique their celebration felt. They honored tradition while bending it in beautiful ways: instead of the classic groom processional (baraat), they orchestrated it with the bride — a fresh, meaningful twist that turned expectations on their head — and you could see the pure joy on Priya’s face. So fun to capture!





Another tip for rainy weddings – Have a clear roof to your tent. It let in so much light!
