Local photographer, Lucy Smith, from Smith Imaging gives her top tips on how to deal with bad weather on your big day.

"My mum always used to say there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. Keep this in mind, and remember that as long as you're prepared for the possibility of rain and snow, then nothing can ruin your big day.

"Buy white umbrellas. These act as natural defusers and create a lovely glow. Avoid coloured versions, as these will have the opposite effect, creating dark shadows.

"Invest in some wellies. They will look great in your photographs and ensure your shoes won't get ruined.

"Talk to your photographer and check they have the necessary equipment to capture gorgeous images in all conditions. Ask to see samples of their previous work before making any decisions!"
