Jessika Christine Hill, a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Kansas City, Missouri, was hired by a couple who look, by this photo, like they were getting married when, in fact, they had been married for a year already. They didn’t get wedding photos taken on their wedding day, so when their one-year anniversary approached, they decided to finally get some portraits.

Earlier in the day it had begun to rain, which might have deterred some couples, but not these guys, Hill says. “They decided to continue with the session, which I absolutely loved!”

Hill came prepared with two clear umbrellas that could keep them dry and could be used as interesting elements in the shoot. “It felt like we were in the Pacific Northwest,” Hill reflects. “They loved the moody look, so the rain was perfect!”

The photographer already knew she wanted to photograph the couple near this wall of stacked logs—a sort of cozy cabin motif that reflected that “PNW look,” she says. “Originally, they each had an umbrella, but I loved the idea of them closer and snuggling together so we switched to one.”

(Shot on a Canon 5D Mark IV and 35mm f/1.4 lens at f/2 and 1/400 sec.)
