Chelsey and Eric hail from Pittsburgh, PA just like us! They’re getting married at the college where they met in Pittsburgh (St. Vincent’s) and where the Steelers practice. I’m fairly certain most of their wedding pictures should be them on top of a grassy field gazing lovingly at one another with a bunch of linebackers pummeling each other in the background, but I think they might disagree. They also recently found out that they’ll be getting married on Homecoming weekend, so we could also throw them into a parade wearing a few sashes and crowns. I have all sorts of good ideas! Thankfully I know everyone will stop me from carrying out my good ideas and I’ll be left with less-awesome crownless ones, but I have to do what the people want. Chelsey and Eric came down here a few years ago and have since been recruiting family members and aren’t missing the southwestern PA weather or traffic. Eric teaches and Chelsey plans events. They are two super sweet and super adorable people whom we think are pretty great, and we’re looking forward to spending their wedding day with them next year!

Meet Leslie and Mark! They are two fun and adorable people planning their wedding in VA next year at Leslie’s grandmother’s farm (which sounds totally sweet). We shot their engagement session in Raleigh near Hayes Barton Cafe where they went on their first date, and the night he proposed, and probably again after our engagement session since it seems like they’re kind of addicted to cake. We walked around and talked about their upcoming wedding and honeymoon (to Ireland where they can avoid getting sunburned). They’re the goofy, fun, upbeat kind of people and we had a great time wandering around parking lots and alleyways with them while they did handstands and threw leaves at each other. We know their wedding in Virginia next year will be awesome, much like them. :)
Erika and Emmanuel are like our celebrity clients. Most people who read our blog know who they are and frequently ask us about them like they’re unicorns, or pass along creepy compliments to them through us. Example: “That one couple is really cute. You know… the Emmerika couple. The guy has the dreadlocks? Yeah, they seem super cool.”… then they just leave it at that and I’m not sure what to say (besides the obvious which is yes, they are quite cool). Well now we’ll see where your loyalty truly lies because Emmanuel has since cut off his dreadlocks! BUT he gained a cool faux hawk… and a puppy. So I’m pretty sure the numbers are still well in their favor. Plus their house has a tree house in the backyard. Family facts:
Emmanuel: loves video games and pizza and not sleeping
Erika: loves baked goods and movies and kittens
Lobo[gray cat, not terribly pictured because…]: loves everybody leaving him the hell alone
Mango[calico cat]: love being derpy and chittering at birds and the bird-like toy
Habanero[tuxedo cat]: loves EVERYONE OMG PET ME RIGHT NOW
Bino[puppy]: loves chew toys made of gross parts of bulls that we won’t put in the blog or else our blog will start coming up for search results we do not want
Look at how cute they are.
