What a rainy day for engagement pictures!
Alaina and Joe live in North Carolina and were in town for their engagement session. So, despite the rain, we headed out. Afterall, rescheduling their shoot really wasn't an option. Rain or shine...somedays you just have to keep shooting.
So we headed to the South part of town...Funk's Grove. This is a special spot for them...so the location was important. So I PRAYED! I PRAYED that we'd have an hour and a half of no rain. Half way or so through the shoot we started hearing thunder. So I prayed for 20 more minutes...Please God 20 more minutes! I am not kidding....20 minutes to the dot the heavens opened and it started raining. I know God doesn't always answer prayer this way, but for this specific day, He did and I am so thankful! We did stick around a few extra minutes to get some fun shots in the rain...so it worked out after all. And I am thrilled with the outcome.

I had fun you guys...Joe, it was nice meeting you and Alaina, it was good seeing you again. LOTS more to come!

These pics are soooooo cute!!! Cute couple too. :) (My favorites are the one where he's picking you up & the three-image one where he's whispering something to you.) The rain didn't ruin this shoot at all, the umbrella is classic. Can't wait to see more!

Such a good looking couple! They are beautiful!

What beautiful pictures. Funks Grove was a perfect choice and it brings a flood of emotions to me. For Alaina to look so amazingly happy and beautiful is just perfect with this for background. Joe is equally handsome and appears to cherish his wife-to-be.
Congrats to you both and this wonderful time in your lives.
