Erin & Nick : Engaged

I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover, but when Erin sat down at our first meeting and I noticed our matching watches…I knew we were going to get along great.  Throw in some good conversation and a love for great shoes…and you’ve got friends for life.  Last weekend I got the chance to hang out with Erin again…but this time with her fiance, Nick.  Once again…Erin showed up wearing our watch and sporting some wedges that were to die for.   And I loved it.  Just like I love them.  Being around Erin and Nick makes your cheeks hurt.  Their laughter is infectious and you can instantly tell what makes them so great together.  Erin’s smile lights up the room and is the perfect compliment to her strong yet sweet personality.  And Nick is a man of few words…but the way he looks at Erin says it all.

 

I left their session feeling inspired, excited and incredibly pumped for their wedding in a few weeks.  Erin and Nick, thank you so much for letting me spend the afternoon with you…and reminding me of all the reasons why I love what I do.

    dearest nick and nadia…the photos are beautiful not only because you chose a gifted photographer but because her subject is a couple made up of two good, dear people who clearly love each other very much…i will have to join your mother in a box, no, make that a truckload of kleenex…especially because of the one that really struck my heart and nearly broke it: the one of just your hands together, showing the beautiful ring…but what i saw is that, baby girl, you have your mama’s hands…how i have loved her as my sister all these years, and have watched her hold, support, cajole and caress with those beautiful hands, and i would know them anywhere…lucky you, dear one, you get to have them with you always……ReplyCancel
