Make the curb-to-building route easy.
Arrange drop-off, know the correct entrance, allow security time, and keep umbrellas accessible rather than packed in a vehicle. Guests who arrive dry and unhurried will experience the building differently from people recovering from a wet parking search.
Use City Hall as the complete portrait plan.
Windows, galleries, corridors, staircases, and the Rotunda create variety without leaving the building. Outdoor photographs can remain optional. This prevents a forecast from turning the day into a location scramble.
Protect clothing and flowers during transfers.
Bring a clean towel, a way to lift a hem, a waterproof layer for bouquets, and shoes that can handle wet pavement. A small kit preserves comfort without making every photograph look like rain avoidance.
Use rain when the couple wants it.
Reflections, umbrellas, street light, and weather can be visually strong, but consent and warmth come first. Make a short plan near the route to the next location rather than sending everyone across the city to prove it rained.
