I was excited to be asked to help Frank Wisneski shoot an engagement session (and next month the wedding). We went out to the LA Arboretum for what turned out to be the last sunny day we would see for awhile. By the afternoon the clouds were moving in for our six day rainstorm. We took advantage of it and had a lot of fun. If the engagement session was any indication the wedding is going to be a blast.

We sat side by side in the morning light and looked out at the future together.

I think one of the things I love most about the rain is the day immediately following. You can walk outside and see the sun slowly making an appearance over the horizon. Not too far away the mountains are covered with fresh snow. The snow looks pink, then gold, and finally white. Those days are few and far between around here… already the snow has started to melt… but when they are here I try very hard to take advantage of them. I’m hoping for a lot more rain this winter.

We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
