As weddings often dictate the timeline of all the things, Kelly + Eric met up with me for an early round 1 of quick engagement photos for Save the Date’s. With an early bout of Winter that fell within hours of our session, we met up at this perfect little winter park outside of Littleton, Colorado. Fluffy snow fell perfectly, dusting the pines and leaving a winter scene so perfect for snowy winter engagement photos. Kelly, Eric, and their sweet little Finley were complete troopers through the chill and the snow.
These three are the most adorable little family, and even with the snowy weather and a last minute change of plans, I had a blast with Kelly + Eric and sweet Finny!! If these two can make a last minute shoot in a wintery park look this great, I am even more excited for our mountain shoot this spring! Scroll down for Kelly + Eric’s adorable story and planning tips!!
How did you meet? Who made the first move?
“We met through a mutual friend. Eric made the first move, he reached out for my number via Facebook!”
Kelly, What was your first impression of Eric?
“Tall, cute and we had a lot in common!”
Eric, What was your first impression of Kelly?
“She’s not that into me…”
From Kelly – “We were only friends for over 2 years before we started dating, so we still have debates about those first 2 years of friendship and what took us so long!”
How long have you been together?
4 and a half years!!
How did he pop the question?
At sunset, in Maui!
[ note – HOLY COW TALK ABOUT WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! ]
Did you choose your ring together, or did he pick it out himself?
Kelly : He picked it out by himself and did SO good!!
What is your favorite thing about him/her?
Eric : Her sense of humor.
Kelly : His insanely cheesy dad jokes.
[ okay that’s cute… ]
What is your favorite thing to do to relax together?
Drinking cocktails on a beach!
Tell us about the best date you’ve ever been on together:
A few years ago we took a spontaneous one day trip to Minneapolis to go to a Timberwolves game (and they won!). The night we started dating we had went to a Timberwolves/Nuggets game, so we try to make a Timberwolves game every year.
What are you most excited for on your wedding day?
Having all our favorite people together, putting a ring on his finger, and to see what Finley (our daughter) is going to look like!
Any advice for brides currently planning their wedding out there?
The advice I’ve gotten that I’m trying to follow myself is to focus on the reason for the planning and not on the details, if we end up married at the end of that day – it went perfect!
