Erica and Joe are like two bright lights in the universe.  When you’re with them, you don’t notice time passing because you are just too busy smiling and laughing.  Erica is just full of joy and energy and Joe is a joker who just keeps everybody doubled over with laughter.  I am sure that together they are the life of every party they ever walk into.  For example, you have to hear the best how-we-met story ever.  Erica and Joe were both attending a fundraiser at the Columbia Yacht Club downtown, and even though Joe had just had neck surgery and was wearing a neck brace he was not letting that slow him down on the dance floor.  Erica saw that energy, saw that guy who would not let a little thing like a neck brace slow him down from enjoying life, and knew that she had to meet him.  So she joined him on the dance floor and said, “I love you!” And of course Joe said, “I love you, too!”

And the rest, as they say, is history.

After meeting at the Columbia Yacht Club, Erica and Joe decided that it would also be the perfect place for the wedding.  We had a blast exploring the area for their unique engagement shoot, and cannot wait for what we know will be an amazing wedding.

Erica and Joe, we feel so lucky to have met you two.  We absolutely cannot wait for your wedding next summer!
