One of my favorite elements of an engagement session is getting to see a couple interact with one another. And what struck me about Michele and Eric was what an easy rapport they have with one another. Both were naturals in front of the camera and made my job SUPER easy! 
Michele joked that she’d been prepping Eric for days, making sure he knew how important these photos were to her. And when Eric showed up in Chucks, well, I instantly knew I liked the guy. When he talked about having a love affair with guitars, I thought, “Even better!”
But enough small talk, let’s get started with the good stuff, shall we? And if you want to see the full set of images, check out their SLIDESHOW!
I love the way the light is hitting Michele here. It’s that warm kind of glow I like to call sunkissed and I think it’s VERY becoming on her 
Adorable with a capital “A”
You can totally see what I’m talking about when I say they’re an easy-going couple here, huh? LOVE IT!
So no exaggeration, it might have reached 100 degrees during the night of our shoot. These two were TROOPERS! I remember at a certain point, asking Eric if he could sit a certain way and he gave me this look and I was all, “Your jeans are sticking to your legs aren’t they?” and he was like, “Ummm… yeah.” This might have been the point where Michele promised him he’d get that new guitar for putting up with my shenanigans!
FAVORITE!
SO sweet!
I love this one too!
Michele and Eric aren’t getting married until next spring, but if these next two are ANY indicator, Michele is going to be one b-e-a-u-t–i-f-u-l bride and Eric one h-a-n-d-s-o-m-e groom!
One more … I couldn’t resist the cute factor of this one
Michele and Eric, thank you so much for spending a hot but beautiful summer evening with yours truly. And on a random note, we’ll always be able to say we knew where we were when we heard Michael Jackson died, huh? Funny how stuff like that happens sometimes I guess!
