When the day of the wedding arrived, it was pouring rain. But because we had already taken the formal photos during the "first look" session, we were able to make the most of the weather which led to a calm and happy experience taking photographs of families and friends outside the temple. 

If you're planning a Redlands Temple wedding, I highly recommend considering a "first look" or formal session. It's a great way to get some beautiful photos in a relaxed environment, and it also allows for more flexibility with your wedding day schedule. Plus, you never know when the weather might not cooperate! I also recommend hiring a photographer with experience with LDS weddings, or be sure to educate whoever you choose since they are quite different than typical civil weddings. Enjoy a sampling of photographs from this beautiful rainy wedding at the Redlands, CA LDS temple.
