It was a rainy day in Happy Valley...

... when my friend Angela and her fiance James had planned to get some engagement pictures taken. Not just rain - but the ickiest wettest coldest rainiest muddiest day we've had in awhile! :( Unfortunately, James doesn't live here in town so this was our only opportunity to get together for pictures and... we tried our best!

Instead of my usual preference of shooting primarily outside in natural light, we found a few indoor spots to try instead. And luckily, James and Angela were two brave lovebirds and were great sports about venturing outside a few times in the downpour to grab some shots at some Penn State spots that are special to them! :) They were their usual hilarious and beautiful selves, despite the rain!

Look below for a sneak peek of a few cute pictures from their rainy-day session; THANKS you two for being flexible and I promise that someday, we'll take pictures again when it's sunny and dry and we have more options! :)

The Beautiful Engagement Ring!

Sorry there's kind of a leaf in your face, James - but it's such a cute picture of Angela! :)

The Beautiful Bride!

Real Smile from Mr. Groom-to-Be :)

(Let's just say he doesn't love photo shoots!)

THIS IS WHERE THEY MET! (more or less!)

Angela and James were in the same Ph.D program at Penn State and wanted a few shots outside "their" building on campus!

Where it all began...

Old School :)

By then we were all drenched... but I still *LOVE* these cute pictures of J & A at the "Lion Shrine" - they're true Penn Staters so we had to take at least a few with The Nittany Lion!!
