I just love these two! I’ve known Mike for a long time, so I was ecstatic to see him and the beautiful Erica at Nicole and John’s wedding back in November of 2008. I went to high school with Mike and we share an obsession with Star Wars. Anyone that does tends to be vaulted to the top of my awesome list. Erica is so sweet and fun, and her smile will make anyone swoon. Even me. I know, I did. Because their meeting and their engagement is surrounded with Christmas and winter, we decided to do a Christmas/winter shoot downtown. We didn’t plan for the snow, but I can say with a straight face that I’m SO happy it did snow! For anyone who’s afraid to do a winter shoot, you need to take note of the first sneak peek here. Gorgeous! More of this story and more pictures to come! Enjoy these couple teasers!

Sidenote: Just about the coolest thing happened as I was taking the Macy’s shot here. When I turned around, there stood Melanie from my last e-session! First, she lives in Ohio. Second, she was in town that weekend. Third, we happen to be in the third largest city in America. Fourth, we were in one of the busiest stores downtown. Fifth, she was on the same floor as me. And Sixth, it was during Christmas time on a weekend. Seriously. Melanie, you had to be stalking me. There is no other explanation. :)
