Lilit and Stephen....in the rain. :)

I'm always up for an adventure, so when Lilit and Stephen called to ask about rescheduling their engagement session to a when it wasn't monsooning outside I told 'em no way! :) They were SUCH troopers to go out in the pouring rain, I couldn't believe it! They really wanted to do beach shots and while these weren't your "typical" Santa Barbara at the beach shots they turned out so well and I'm certain it's a day non of us will ever forget!

The funny thing was that I JUST got my Canon Mark II N back from Canon for some service and so of course literally just hours after I got it back all tuned up from the factory I go out and trash it in the rain! :) Of course, that's what these cameras were made for (I guess it's the equivalent of "off roading" for photography). :) It performed beautifully though, and we got some amazing shots.

Check 'em out. :)

Beautiful stuff. Just wonderful emotion in all the shots. Glad to see the gear hold up in some non-ideal weather.

Awesome! I always tend to push my clients off from shooting on a rainy day. You've inspired me to rethink that notion! LOVE these! So beutiful and romantic. My faves are the first and the second. Luscious.
