Prepare for the weather but DO NOT let it define your wedding day. Make it a part of your wedding day story. If it rains... heck, go out and dance in the rain. It'll make for beautiful photographs but more importantly, beautiful memories.
It may be a little cliche but I grew up around photography. My mother attended night classes at college and when she couldn't find or afford childcare, she would take me along with her. It was here I was introduced to negative film photography and dark room processing. From there, photography became my hobby before it became a profession. I often look at things differently. I have a habit of people watching and seeing how people interact. Elderly couples holding hands on a bus, fathers protecting their newborns on a shopping trip with their significant other. I escaped my reality with photography and thats when I knew it would be a lifelong career for me.
