Eric and Cristina are getting married in October 2018 at the Irvine Estate. When they were selecting their venue, they wanted mountains and when they saw the Irvine Estate....they knew that was it! These two have been together for 13 years and were friends before they even started dating! Cristina and Eric met through a mutual friend.  Cristina invited Eric to a get together she was having but he didn't show up!! A few weeks later, however, they met again and instantly became friends! They hung out as friends for a few months and then started dating.

From my observations, Eric and Cristina are basically the same person! They are both fun-loving, happy, and absolutely adore each other...and that my friends is so obvious the minute you meet them! Cristina confirmed my observation when she said, "We have tons in common... truthfully after all these years I think we have grown into being more alike one another in so many ways its hard to tell who's character trait or idea it was first!".....see.... I was spot on right! 

Cristina tells me that on their 12th anniversary they spent the weekend at a cabin in Luray... one of their favorite places to visit...... 

"We had a beautiful cabin... it was on the river... we had a picnic lunch packed.  He set up the camera and acted like he was trying to get our picture and as he ran over he dropped down on his knee just in time for a quick pic of the moment." 

Oh my word I love this man for not only surprising Cristina with the ring but for his plan to capture the moment on camera!!  

Eric and Cristina, I am so, so thrilled and honored that you selected me to photograph your wedding! You both are so fun and I feel like we became instant friends! I can't wait for October!!
