Congrats Caroline and Sven!
Caroline and I watched the weather all the way up until the morning of her wedding, but the rain was guaranteed.
I have photographed weddings in every weather scenario possible and I always tell clients the weather, rain or shine, is just a part of the day. The same way flowers and an officiant are part of a wedding day, so is the weather. Throughout the service and the posed photos we pushed through some drizzle and several downpours to find many silver linings. To start Central Park was empty.
Never in my 28 years of living in New York City have I seen Central Park empty when photographing a wedding. Being able to photograph a wedding in Central Park or in New York City without a crowd cutting in front of the photographer is an anomaly. We took full advantage of having the park ourselves with not only the service in Wagner Cove, but family photos on Bow Bridge. Caroline, Sven, and I shut down the bridge. Unreal.
