Cannot believe these two are getting MARRIED next month! I’m sure by the time they get married, the temperatures will have cooled down and the leaves will have changed color. It happens so quickly! They were hoping for fall engagement portraits but we ended up with summer weather. Fortunately, they didn’t sweat it! It was a mid-September day with temperatures in the 90s … WHEW. We embraced the weather and sunshine. 🙂 They are absolutely adorable together! Between the smiles and laughs, they know how to love one another full heartedly. The funny part was when they both admitted to me that they dislike having their photos taken. I promised them that I will change their mind about taking photos and create an experience they will enjoy together! After our session was done, I received an email from Ashley telling me her and Eric had so much fun and could not wait to see more photos. YAY! Totally made my week! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Cannot WAIT for their wedding day!
