Rainy Wedding at Maritime Parc | Kristen & Tyler

Ah, October 2023. The month that never stopped raining on every wedding weekend. Having never photographed a wedding at Maritime Parc, we were worried about options to photograph indoors for Kristen and Tyler’s big day. Thankfully, we made it to the local train station with about 20 minutes to spare before closing. We have never worked so fast to do a first look, portraits and wedding party photos. Shout out to the employee that gave us an extra 5 minutes!

With a clear umbrella (must haves for a rainy wedding day), we got to take a couple more outside before heading to the venue for the rest of the day. Kristen and Tyler exchanged emotional vows with a city view before partying the night away with their friends and family. The weather may not have been what we all had hoped for but the day turned into absolute perfection.
