Madison & Michael’s Rainy Autumn Wedding at Malachi Meadows
There’s something undeniably magical about a rainy wedding day, and Madison & Michael’s autumn celebration at Malachi Meadows was nothing short of a dream. As a Wilmington, NC wedding photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how a little rain can add the most romantic, storybook-like touch to a couple’s special day—and this one was no exception.
The day started overcast and cool. We made it all the way through the ceremony when a soft drizzle started, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere.
Madison got ready in the venue’s charming bridal suite, surrounded by her bridesmaids and family. She wore a stunning gown that flowed effortlessly as she walked, her bouquet bursting with deep golds, burnt oranges, and soft greenery—perfect for an autumn wedding.

Michael and his groomsmen shared laughs (and a few nerves!) while getting ready, but the moment he saw Madison walking down the aisle, all jitters disappeared. The rain held off just long enough for a few breathtaking portraits under the golden trees, and let me tell you—the misty air and autumn leaves made for the most romantic backdrop.
The reception? A candlelit dream. Twinkle lights, warm drinks, and joyful dancing filled the night, proving that a little rain only makes the celebration shine brighter.
Madison & Michael embraced every moment of their day, rain and all, and it was a reminder that love—just like the weather—can be beautifully unpredictable.
