Gotta love that Virginia weather. Sweet Mandi and Brett were so patient when we had to reschedule their engagement session THREE times due to all this rain we’ve been having! Then we finally found an evening with zero percent chance of rain only to be greeted by a nasty thunderstorm when we arrived! But you know what, it actually worked out for the best and made for some sweet shots in the rain! 

Mandi and I go alllll the way back to our elementary days at OLMC! One of my favorite things about this business is how it reunites me with old friends that I otherwise would have likely  never seen again! Mandi was just as sweet and bubbly as I remember her. And I am so happy to see that she has found a sweet man like Brett! Seeing the way that Brett adores and cares for Mandi just warms my heart! 

One of the best compliments I can receive at the end of an engagement session is that they had fun! And I got just that from Mandi and Brett along with some high fives and hugs! Even through the rain, we never stopped laughing and having fun! Can’t wait to do it again so soon at their wedding in October! 







Then as we thought that the rain was letting up, we stepped out and THIS happened! But it was actually pretty magical and they weren’t phased at all! 
Then the rain actually did let up and the sun came out!! 




It’s not often that you get downpour AND a beautiful sunset in one session!
