I’m so excited about Gabbi & Eric’s Rainy Woodland Mulberry Wedding! They celebrated their love in the rain at the Wildcat Conservation Club in Mulberry, Indiana! In fact, their venue is where I shot my very first wedding! The coming week, we were on full weather alert, just hoping and hoping that the 100% chance of rain would turn into a drizzle.

That morning, I arrived with rain boots and umbrellas! It was coming down hard. Gabbi considered holding her ceremony under the reception tent, but she always wanted and outdoor ceremony, so an outdoor ceremony is what she got! Rain or shine. But hey, with an outdoor ceremony in April, you’ve got to expect at least a little rain! Lucky for me… and the bridal party… and the guests… and the groom… Gabbi was calm, cool, and collected! She’s so amazing. This rain was not going to put a damper on her wedding!

We’re about 10 minutes away from the ceremony and the bridal party starts lining up for the processional. All the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the isle with their adorable umbrellas, but just as the bride started making her way towards her handsome groom, the rain stopped. It stopped! Severals hours of rain before the ceremony and all of a sudden the sky decided to give it a break for Gabbi & Eric.

We always hear that it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day, but how about THIS luck! It stopped raining for their ceremony! That’s a pretty good sign if you ask me! My favorite part? Beautiful, woodland, fairy-like details were everywhere! A succulent bouquet, an antique floral ring holder, a beautifully intricate laced dress, old books, moss, candles! The list goes on! And how about their ceremony!? It was held in front of the most gorgeous forest ever! AND Gabbi & Eric had no problem getting their shoes (and dress!) a little dirty for their portrait session. We headed into the woods full of cute little purple flowers, overgrown plants, and even a little creek off in the distance! Their wedding truly looks like it jumped right off the page of a fairytale!

Gabbi has a twin!! Abbi came all the way from Oregon for her sisters wedding!
