when erica first contacted me to see if we were available on august 1 of THIS year and they booked us in the middle of may, i thought…… wow, this is my kind of couple!!! they decided they wanted to get married, they are both teachers with their summers off and they didn’t want to wait for over a year! so i say….. awesome job pulling off planning a wedding in a couple of months!!! they traveled from south bend, IN to meet us for their engagement session and the weather was looking like it was not going to cooperate!!! but somehow…. i have some serious good luck with rainy days. it always seems to rain right before or right after we have our sessions!!! we hit some new spots downtown that i had been wanting to try and we did a mixture of urban, industrial and “fieldy” (yes, a new mindy word… it’s my blog, i can make up words if i want to)!

steve and erica were completely smitten and happy the whole time we were together. they smiled, laughed, joked and just had fun with each other. it is so evident that they are best friends. they have contagious spirits that make you want to go dance….. or at least something active. we had so much fun with them and can’t wait to shoot their wedding in just a couple of weeks!!! here are some of our favorites from our evening together…….. enjoy!!!!
