Erika & Matt

FINALLY! SUNSHINE! Faithful blog readers I never thought I would see the day! Luckily my couples are so wonderful rain doesn’t phase them but ya’ll know some sunshine makes everyone smile just a bit more.  It had seriously felt like an eternity since I had seen Erika and Matt.  Their engagement session left me so excited for their nuptials.  The kindest souls and the sweetest personalities – you can’t help by love being around these two. As soon as I walked into the Spy Hill House, I gave Erika a hug and I just knew the day would be perfect.  Threats of rain right at the time of their portraits was hanging over our heads but it never happened.  The sun beamed during their ceremony and the coolest temperature fell over the Stevenson Ridge property right at portrait time. It was the definition of picture perfect.  The loveliest of families and the best of friends was the icing on the cake as Mr. and Mrs. Davis began their life as a married couple! Congratulations, Erika and Matt! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness… you both truly deserve it.  HUGE thank you to Sara of Wolfcrest Photography. She was my amazing second shooter and right hand!  Enjoy my many favorites below! 1A-Stevenson-Ridge-Wedding-Mint-Peach-Erika-Matt-10092A-Stevenson-Ridge-Wedding-Mint-Peach-Erika-Matt-10223A-Stevenson-Ridge-Wedding-Mint-Peach-Erika-Matt-1025
