Aaaand this day was like no other. Usually I’m obsessing about the weather (clearly I do, I mention it in every post!) but this June day only predicted a 10% chance of rain. I’m pretty optimistic, so that means a 90% chance… it’s not gonna rain! (!) During the ceremony held at Graham Chapel, we heard rumblings of thunder and I looked at Ryan, eyelids stretched, thinking noooo, it’s not supposed to rain! The Wash U Campus is just so pretty and what better place to be? So I was maybe just in a wee bit of a whirlwind to try and get all the portraits wrapped-up before it poured down on us. Which thank goodness we did! In the distance, dark grey, ominous clouds + lighting lingered. So we figured if we stayed put and knocked everything out around the church, we’d be good. Sure enough, this giddy pair worked their magical love in front of the camera and made it so easy. 🙂

After we finished up on campus, we made our way downtown. That’s when we hit the deluge of rain. So we sat outside the Civil Courts Building, a special request from the lawyer-Groom, and took cover in the car until things died down a bit. We all agreed it might be a while, so we got out and captured a few anyway! I always love a lucky umbrella shot, and a couple willing to do anything on their wedding day. 🙂

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Enjoy the photos!
