One of the biggest worries couples share while planning their wedding day? What if it rains.
Rain can feel like the ultimate wildcard — the thing you can’t plan for, can’t control and can’t reschedule. But Morgan and Cameron’s wedding day at The Haven at Tomales is proof that rain doesn’t ruin a wedding — your mindset does.

It poured on their wedding day. Not a drizzle. Not a light mist. A full-on, all-day, Northern California downpour. And somehow? It made the day even more magical.

From the moment Morgan slipped into her dress, the focus wasn’t on the weather, it was on the moment. The sound of rain hitting the barn roof, the soft glow of candlelight and the warmth of being surrounded by people who mattered most created an atmosphere that felt intimate, cozy and incredibly romantic. Rain has a way of slowing everything down and instead of fighting it, Morgan and Cameron leaned into it.

One of the most important things to remember when planning a rainy wedding day is that photos don’t suffer — they change. Umbrellas, misty hills, reflections on gravel and soft overcast light create images that feel cinematic and timeless. Overcast skies are actually a photographer’s dreeeeaam, offering even light and rich colors that bring emotion to the forefront. Some of the most joyful moments from this wedding happened in the rain: laughter under clear umbrellas, quiet embraces by the barn and stolen kisses with rain-soaked landscapes behind them.

The Haven at Tomales is an incredible venue for unpredictable weather. Its beautiful indoor spaces, covered walkways, and rustic barn allowed the day to flow seamlessly, even with rain pouring outside. Guests stayed dry, the ceremony remained intimate, and the reception glowed with warmth thanks to thoughtful draping, candlelight, and lush florals.

If you’re planning a wedding in California — especially in coastal or Northern California locations — here’s the truth: you can’t control the weather but you can control how you experience your day. When you let go of perfection and focus on what truly matters, rain becomes just another part of your story.

Morgan and Cameron had a joy-filled, love-first, best-day-ever wedding. And that’s exactly what your wedding day should be — no matter the forecast.
