As a back-up for bad weather we usually make arrangement for the bridal party and the family to go back into the church after the guests have left, where we do our formals. A couple of off-camera flashes with umbrellas, soft boxes or Lite-Scoops will do a great job. Extra flash units would be helpful if you wish to light the background for depth and interest. That set-up is a separate subject that I don't believe could be taught here.

Here is one that answers you question.
But if they know that the weather is going to be awful wouldn't they want to hold it indoors?

Very helpful information for solving the rainy day shoot. If you don't have some constructive advice . . . why bother? I believe the OP was asking for help . . not a lecture on why he/she shouldn't get some advice on doing it better.

Indoor wedding use a fast lens since flash isn't going to be permitted in most cases. Outside use an off camera flash and possibly a good slave flash too boot.

what studio?
For outside shots, if that turns out to be the situation, hopefully for short spells, set white balance to shade, (6500-8000 Kelvin) for warmer images.

Have been doing beach weddings for about ten years. Always, always tell your clients to have a secondary plan if it rains or snows.
No photographer is going to risk very expensive equipment to photograph one single wedding. Have a backup plan and watch the weather ahead of time.

I did one and was doing a park setting with a gazebo. It was nice day but kind of brisk. After a while the party felt it. Made a mental note to have a plan B for indoors. well I did have a plan but in my ignorance I did not think it was that cold. Consider your party!!
