Sasha and Nick came all the way from Oregon for their engagement session on Whidbey Island, and so because of their travel, we weren't going to let a little rain get in the way! However, right before the shoot began, the clouds parted and made way for the most beautiful, rich and dynamic sky.

Being surrounded by the beauty of the PNW is therapeutic enough by itself, but paired with a day like yesterday....ahh, heaven.
