The Downtown Madison Engagement of Brittany & Alex

Brittany and Alex opted for their engagement session to take place Downtown Madison, Wisconsin. With the stunning combination of The Edgewater for lake front shots and The Capitol for their more urban photos. Leading up to their session I was very excited and just knew we were going to have a great evening together. On Thursday morning (the day of) I checked the weather and was feeling pretty good. Those feel good vibes became a little shaky as the day continued on. Since Brittany & Alex live in Green Bay, Wisconsin they hit the road earlier so I prepped myself for potentially working a little faster than I normally would.

As Brittany walked up to me she said, “Alex went back for an umbrella just in case” and I’m glad he did. Within minutes, the clouds started to drizzle. Combine that with 40 degree temperatures and I knew that for everyone this was less than ideal.

Then the SUN came out. I honestly couldn’t believe it. The wind also seemed to die down a little and we were rocking our time at The Capitol downtown Madison together. We wrapped up our time there and made our way to the lakefront at The Edgewater. As we started down the stairs, you could see the next rain front moving across the lake. I expressed that we would get a handful and then likely have to call it quits. I was bummed and I know that while these two remained positive, they likely were a little bit too.

We snapped a handful of photos and then took cover. I’m so glad we waited for a little bit as within a handful of minutes, the skies quit raining and we were able to finish our time together.

This is easily one of my favorite engagement sessions I’ve had the chance of photographing. I can not WAIT for their wedding next September!
