It was just a few hours before the wedding when I got her call, “I have good news and bad news,” Erica said. After a derecho struck the MidAtlantic the night before, her ceremony and reception venues were both without electricity and her wedding was being moved to a new venue. But rather than being sad or stressed, Erica was perfectly calm. “I get to marry my best friend tomorrow… and that’s all that matters,” she said.
For Erica and Andrew, their love for one another far outweighs the troubles and tribulations they will face together. They are a inseparable pair with a shared passion for music and a love of making one another laugh. And they do it all with incredible kindness and grace – a true reminder of what love is all about!
There is nothing that Erica and Andrew cannot face together… They are soul mates in every sense of the word!

These turned out so beautifully!! And this may be an odd thing to notice, but I really like the way you photographed their framed photos on each table. I always have such a hard time with knowing how to compose shots like that, and yours looks wonderful! Thanks again for having me along to shoot with you- I had such a good time!
