Over the years I have asked many of my couples "What was the moment when you knew he/she was the one?" Over the years I have had two different kinds of answers. The first kind is the couples that say there wasn't a moment in particular; their love just happened over time until it was clear that they had found their partner. The second kind of answer is from couples that say "It happened on THIS day," or "it happened the first time she met my family" or "the first time he said I Love You." Eric and Erin are the second kind of couple. For Erin, there was a moment she knew that she would be with Eric forever.
It was just after a few months of dating. Erin had been enjoying a delicious mango when she broke out in hives. She had hives everywhere. Instead of excusing himself, instead of leaving and saying he'd just call her back later, Eric immediately raced to the store to buy the necessary items.
Benadryl: $6.00
Aveeno Oatmeal Bath Powder: $7.99
Knowing you found a man to love you enough to help you when you're covered in hives and completely vulnerable: Priceless.
Erin, a special education teacher and Eric, a finance and insurance kind of guy met in 2002 at an apartment party in college. Eric was wearing a T-Shirt with a big letter "E" on it. Whether he was expecting it to be a conversation piece with a pretty girl at the party or not, in that moment he caught "E"rin's attention.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of this couple is their sense of humor -- they love to laugh at themselves and one another. Witty banter abounds between Eric, Erin and their friends. In the short time I got to spend with them they made each other laugh, they made the wedding party laugh, they made ME laugh...and most importantly, they made it clear what marrying your best friend looks like.
Priceless.
After eight years together, Erin and Eric are husband and wife. It was a pleasure to capture this couple on their wedding day. They were so laid back and not worried in the least that something would go wrong. They simply wanted to enjoy this day, and remember it as another "priceless moment" in their life together.
The entire wedding day took place at Firesky Resort in Scottsdale and I had the pleasure of working with a great team that included Regina Osgood of Meant 2 Be Events -- the coordinator -- and God's Garden Treasures -- the florist. The day started with girl time:

We spent some time around the Firesky property capturing some fun portraits of the cute couple:
The bridal party was a ton of fun:
Erin's room was right by the ceremony sight so she relaxed there and watched the guests arrive in the moments before the ceremony was to begin.
