A Rain-Kissed Romance

Nikki and Lorint’s Ponce City Market Engagement Session

Some moments feel like they’re straight out of a love story—and for Nikki and Lorint, their engagement session was just that. Their original location shifted when Atlanta’s skies open up with steady rain, but what could have been a challenge became a gift. Instead of canceling, they embraced the unexpected, and we found shelter and inspiration at Ponce City Market, one of Atlanta’s most vibrant and architecturally striking landmarks.

Under the warm glow of brick facades and industrial-chic details, we captured their effortless chemistry. Nikki’s laughter echoed through the covered walkways, and Lorint’s hand never left hers. Each frame felt intimate and authentic—moments of love unshaken by the weather outside.

Historic Elegance at Oakland Cemetery

When the rain eased, we moved to Oakland Cemetery, a location steeped in history and quiet beauty. Its winding paths and stately architecture offered a serene contrast to the modern energy of Ponce City Market and nearby Atlanta Beltline.

A soft drizzle returned as we arrived, but rather than retreating, Nikki and Lorint leaned in closer, wrapped in the cozy shelter of a clear umbrella. The result was pure romance—timeless portraits kissed by raindrops, with a softness and mood that no sunny day could replicate. It was one of those moments when everything slows down, leaving only two people and their love for each other.

Rain can add a cinematic, romantic quality to engagement photography that’s impossible to recreate on a clear day.

Nikki and Lorint’s session is proof that love shines brightest when it embraces the moment, whatever it brings.
