Downtown Engagement in the rain

When Katie & Ryan flew in from New York, the only thing they really really wanted from their engagement session was to be outside. And it was one of those rainy weekends in Austin--rain predicted all weekend! (No matter). They were up for it and so were we! Courtney, a very talented JLW photographer, assisted me, and we met them at Lambert's BBQ on Second Street. The four of us walked the alleys and streets of downtown, armed with umbrellas and good cheer. Katie was a little chilly and we all got a little damp, but not even challenging weather could interfere with the palpable love you could feel between Katie & Ryan. And, if not for the rain, we couldn't have these kinds of images in this gorgeous light, nor would we have finished up in a parking lot of all places!
