If I should think of love 
I’d think of you, your arms uplifted, 
Tying your hair in plaits above, 
The lyre shape of your arms and shoulders, 
The soft curve of your winding head. 
No melody is sweeter, nor could Orpheus 
So have bewitched. I think of this, 
And all my universe becomes perfection. 
But were you in my arms, dear love, 
The happiness would take my breath away, 
No thought could match that ecstasy, 
No song encompass it, no other worlds. 
If I should think of love, 

I’d think of you.

-Shakespeare

Erin and Chris flew from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for their engagement session along with a consultation with Kaleb Norman James and myself for their big day coming up in July. They are both such kind souls, and their proposal story is the cutest (see below)! Their destination wedding will be held in Seattle at Sodo Park, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

A little about them: They met at work, Erin is a nurse, and Chris is in sales for a medical device company. Erin found out that he was in a band and didn’t have a girl singer. He invited her to a practice, and 3 months later they started dating. Fast forward 4 years, and he proposed to her on stage in front of all their friends and family! (So sweet.) Erin and Chris currently reside in Philadelphia, where they continue to play music and enjoy life with their puppy named Taco.

They always knew they wanted a destination wedding, and settled on the Pacific Northwest due to the musical history of Seattle. I couldn’t be more happy and excited for them, and am so glad we could meet and and that I have the privilege to photograph such an important time in their lives.
