Renee & Gary's Wedding at the Padua Hills Theatre


As a wedding photographer, each wedding presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. But when I had the chance to photograph a this night wedding at the Padua Hills Theatre in Claremont, California, I knew this would be an unforgettable experience. The stunning venue, the fun couple, combined with a bit of rain, created a romantic and magical atmosphere that made every single one of their wedding photos feel like a work of art.


On Renee and Gary's wedding day, a light drizzle turned into a steady rainfall. As any wedding photographer will tell you, rain on your wedding day may be considered good luck, but can be challenging to photograph, especially if the couple doesn't want to get wet. We were all lucky that Gary and Renee were not only up for any photo opportunities, they didn't complain once and had an absolute blast out in the rain. We were rewarded with gorgeous photos, and the most incredible sunset.


The rain didn’t stop the fun; in fact, it added an unexpected element of charm to the evening. The ceremony was cold, but completely gorgeous under the twinkle lights. We set up two lights in addition to our flashes to make sure that the ceremony was lit enough for their photos. It turned out absolutely perfect and the night wedding was so unique and surreal. I was able to capture some truly unique outdoor shots under the soft glow of the venue’s lighting, with the couple playfully embracing the rain.


One of my favorite moments was when the couple decided to venture outside for a few more photos after the ceremony. The rain-soaked environment created a reflective surface on the ground, which turned out to be perfect for capturing the couple's romantic, intimate moments.


Thank you to the team at Padua Hills Theatre and the amazing team of vendors who helped make this wedding perfect!
