When shooting houses and buildings in the rain, what is the best way to
protect the camera and the photographer?

One thing I can think of is a hat umbrella. But it looks kind of
unprofessional, especially most of these are multi-color toy-like.

Is there something else that works and also looks professional?

I'm going to make rain protector for my camera myself.
I will use raincoat and take part of that. You lens goes where
your hand normally goes and so on.
I will probably not look so professional but at least it should
work with longer lenses too.

shooting that protects our equipment and is very professional looking.
