Melissa and Steven’s moody rain elopement in Inlet, NY is the perfect reminder that a little rain doesn’t have to ruin a day—in fact, it can make it even better. These two are outdoorsy, easygoing, and totally “go with the flow,” so when the weather decided to add its own mood to the day, they leaned right into it.

They started with a mountaintop ceremony, and somehow the rain held off just long enough for them to share their vows with a quiet view behind them.

Afterward, we headed down to the lake where the drizzle finally joined us. Instead of fighting it, Melissa and Steven embraced it completely. The soft rain, fall colors, and low clouds gave everything a moody vibe that fit their vision perfectly!

Rain or shine, these two made the most of it. And honestly? It turned into one of those days that proves elopements don’t have to go according to plan to be unforgettable.

Here’s a peek into their rain-kissed celebration.
