This couple stole my heart in the first 10 minutes of sitting on the couch at the studio, holding hands & sharing the details they have planned for their fall wedding. The happiness was written all over their faces, and I found myself tearing up as they talked about their plans. We’re all fighting a battle of some sort & after spending time with Heather & Eric I can tell you the battle they’re winning with Eric’s health is one that has made them hold on a little tighter, smile a little bigger, laugh a little louder, and celebrate every….single….day. They won’t officially be husband & wife until October, but even a quick glimpse into their life together & its so obvious what a strong team they make. I love that they chose to use the backyard of Eric’s house ( their new home together ) as a backdrop for half of the session, and the front porch swing at Heather’s house for a few cozy shots. The old blue chevy was sitting in a neighbors driveway….and turned out to be a spot I couldn’t pass up ;)

Thanks to Heather & Eric for the inspiration..and for sharing their beautiful connection with me. And thanks to my cousin Alisha for trusting me with her best friend’s memories. Giant hugs to you all…
