Engagement | Alicia + Erik

Ahhh! My first engagement session! I have to admit -- I was nervous. Like, really nervous. But Alicia and Erik were amazing and definitely made me feel at ease. I'm sure it helps that we've been friends for nearly six years :) I was so honored when they asked me to take their engagement photos.

These two met while in college and have already shared 12 beautiful years together. They're tying the knot in Hawai'i on February 29, 2016. Love it! What I love even more is the thought and care they put into their engagement session. Even though this was their day, this incredible couple chose to honor their families through their photos. 
We started out at the Library of Congress where members of Erik's family have worked for years. I loved the location, but more importantly, enjoyed capturing my friends in a place that is so meaningful to them. We then moved onto the Northeast Neighborhood Library, where Alicia and Erik totally geeked out. Cue the throwback to their academic years!

We rounded out the evening by making our way to the National WWII Memorial. This is where things get sentimental. Like most members of our generation, Alicia and Erik both have grandparents who sacrificed for and fought bravely in the War. Although Alicia and Erik's grandparents are no longer with us, I found it so special that that these two took the time to reflect upon and think about their ancestors as they prepare for their big day ahead. 

I don't think I've ever met a couple that's more kind and caring. Alicia and Erik's generosity never ceases to amaze me.  They radiate love in everything they do and that's what I truly admire about them.
