You can’t predict the weather. Or so they tell me.

Vanessa and Marc won their sweetheart shoot in a competition I held on Facebook. We scheduled their shoot, chose a location and… it rained. The same thing happened with my other sweetheart shoot winners, and we rescheduled their shoots, but on Van and Marc’s session day the weather tricked us – it was a lovely day up until about half an hour before our session, when some massive storm clouds started rolling in. Having lived in London, it didn’t really phase Van and Marc, so we ploughed ahead and made the trek to the Fingal lighthouse for their shoot.

I do a pretty mean anti-rain dance, but it has its limits. We shot for twenty minutes before the rain started, and thanks to this gorgeous couple’s super-easygoing nature, we managed to get a bunch of really awesome shots in that time. Here are my favourites.
