Erica’s grandfather got her a summer job during college where she met Bryan working for the Drain Commission. She learned to cut grass, paint, and use tools. And on the days she was lucky enough to work side by side with Bryan he not only made everything fun but let her off the hook on a thing or two. They were friends that summer and held off their courtship until Erica finished with school. One summer Bryan asked Erica to come over and his dog. And everyone around here knows we’re all big ole’ suckers for our fur babies! That was seven years ago and Erica would tell you that Bryan still makes everything fun.

Bryan wanted to propose before the Christmas holiday after Erica returned from a ladies-only trip to Ireland. A wrench was thrown in his plans after Erica returned from Ireland quite ill. He wanted to be able to share their exciting news with family and friends during the holidays and couldn’t wait any longer. So, he canceled his big proposal plans and asked Erica in the comfort of their kitchen with their fur baby present. Erica said yes. They both cried. They celebrated, puffy eyes and all, with a meal out together before popping in to surprise their parents at their homes.

You can see they have added a puppy to the mix and after sharing a gorgeous fall evening with them I am so excited for their June wedding at Glen Oaks!!

You’ll feel calm on one of the most overwhelming days of your life. You’ll forget the camera was there. And later, you’ll hold photographs of moments you didn’t know were happening.

That’s because of who’s in the room. Kari has been photographing weddings since 2012. She’s the calm presence, the one your mom will find herself talking to. Karli is the one making your bridesmaids laugh and keeping the day on time.

We don’t divide and conquer. We’re in the same moment, Kari wide and Karli close, catching each other’s eye across the room when we see something worth keeping.

A mother and daughter. Both five feet even. Among your people.
