When Erica first reached out to me about photographing her wedding and I asked her if there was anything I should know about her special day she wrote back – “Best Day Ever! :o)”. A girl who uses adorable smiley faces in emails is my kind of girl and I immediately took to liking her. When planning her engagement shoot Erica mentioned she wanted a snowy, Christmas themed session and I fell in love with her as a bride in that moment. Unfortunately because of the mild winter we’ve had so far, we couldn’t really deliver on the snow, but Worthington, Ohio definitely delivered on the “Christmas” part.
Erica and Mark met me Sunday afternoon in Worthington to take advantage of the decorated town square and quintessential small town vibe for the perfect Christmas themed engagement shoot.
(Let’s take a quick time out to address Erica’s man and his name which have been quite the hot topic on Facebook from the sneak peeks I’ve been posting- he goes by both the name Mark and Wes, I’m calling him Mark because that’s the name Erica called him in her first email to me, but if you’re out there going, “his name is Wes!” please do not worry! Erica has not dumped Wes for an eerily similar looking man named Mark. They are one and the same!)
We started out the shoot beside the gorgeous, huge Christmas tree Worthington decorates every year and then headed over to some nearby park benches to get cozy with a blanket and hot chocolate.
Excuse me for the pun, but how cute is this coffee thermos? “Let’s Merry”? Come on! Too stinking cute!
After we finished up at the Christmas tree and benches, we headed across the street to commandeer the side of a building that was full of Christmas spirit.
If it looks like this session was nothing but cuddles, snuggles, and Eskimo kisses it’s because these two look so good doing it! And I was in heaven getting to capture it all!
Erica and Mark, Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so amazing! You two are absolutely adorable together and I could not have asked for a better couple to spend the day with! I am so excited for your wedding in May and cannot wait to capture your big day, A.K.A. the best day ever! =o)
Keep smiling!
