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.
Describe how you got into photography.
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.
