Rainy engagement session

Last weekend Jenny and I photographed an engagement session for an awesome couple Jessy and Paul. We are shooting their wedding in December and are super excited, especially after witnessing how photogenic they are! We went out early Saturday morning to the Sarasota marina hoping the weather would cooperate, but alas, it did not. It had been raining the entire week before and certainly wasn't going to stop now. But we went through with the shoot anyway, and it turned out really nice. The rain eventually turned to drizzle and the drizzle to just an overcast sky, and even that began clearing up a bit toward the end of the session. But one thing I learned (or re-learned, anyway) is there's nothing quite like rain to set a nice mood for your photographs, and there is nothing like an overcast sky to provide perfectly diffused light for your subjects. So really, the weather worked out quite well. I would still have loved a little morning sunshine, but we worked with what we had and it was a lot of fun!
