After weeks of dry weather the day we were going to photograph a wedding on, and beside the river Thames, it rained! One saving grace was that it was warm. The bridal couple and their guests arrived at the venue in a Dutch barge - so romantic! Champagne and canape were supposed to be consumed enjoying the beautiful views of the river and the Windsor countryside, but unfortunately we were all confined to inside as it poured with rain.

However, rain invariably does not show in pictures (unless it's really heavy) and if pictures avoid showing the bland grey sky then the eye can easily be fooled into thinking it was a nice day. We managed to get outside and take some pictures when the rain stopped and so we could make the most of the lovely surroundings
