Engagement | Johan & Elrina

When you look at photos and don't need to add words to it.. I like to call it "talking pictures".. :-)   And these photos of  Johan and Elrina are truly "talking pictures".  We did this shoot exactly 1 week after they got engaged and their feelings toward each other are SO visible.  When we arrived we only took a couple of photos, then the heavens opened and and it started pouring rain !  We hid under a tree and waited for the rain to stop..  and it did!  So, after the rain it was still overcast, but as a photographer, I just love the soft soft light that comes with overcast weather.. I once heard some one called it "God's big soft box" :-) 
 
And then we got a big surprise as we were leaving... a beautifully RAINBOW appeared in the sky !  I asked Johan & Elrina if they could climb up this little hill, so we could take some photos ! {see the last photo of this post}    This kind of opportunity one don't get that often..  I got goose bumps as they were standing up there with the rainbow up in the sky.. and I though again about the promise that God made to Noah years ago and what a rainbow symbolises.. It felt like Johan & Elrina got a special blessing.. :-)
