Erica & Jered are freaking awesome…
When I chat with folks about engagement or “pre-wedding” photos, most people are hesitant. They see them as silly, or something to be skipped. I get it, I do. I personally hate being in-front of the camera and wield one for a living. But as I have said many time I encourage all of my couples to do them if only to get used to being in-front of the camera. These sessions help get that awkwardness out of the way, so when the wedding rolls around we are all on the same page.
One thing I tell all my clients is that these images are 100% bonus. Have fun with them! We can do them formal, traditional, or completely off the wall. We can pick a location special to you, like the site of your first date. We can shoot on a mountain top, beach, woods or even at home. What ever strikes your fancy. I always encourage people to be creative.
This summer many have gone creative, (remember the grocery store!) but Erica & Jered win. They took creative, and smashed a pie into it’s face, literally…
Take a look…
Check out their puppy June, such a sweet baby.
“Hey Erica, do something with your foot to change positions…” Yeah she cracks me up.
OK HERE, here is where things get creative.
Jered & Erica: “hey emily we are thinking of doing a food fight during our session, is that cool”
Me: “Uhm heck yeah!”
For reals this was the most fun thing I have shot all summer…
Erica & Jered THANK YOU, for being so fun, so creative, and just so cool to capture. You are setting the bar high friends. I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek. I will have the whole set done shortly. For now I would love to throw down a blog post challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post, I will throw in an 11×14 wall print on the house. So leave some comment love folks…

These are so fun!! I love this idea! Great job making your engagement photos bring out your personalities and all the love. Sweet!
These are AMAZING! I am so glad I know this couple, and this photo shoot is perfect for them. Totally rad.
You guys look terrific. Having so much fun and so much in love. Love all the pictures especially the one holding hands and food all over you. Of course, love the pictures with June. May you guys always be this happy and this much in love! All my love always!
The b&w of Jered flinching WINS! Great capture!
Amazing!!!! Love you guys!!!
These pictures are awesome! Such a fun idea and it looks like everyone had a fun time. Can’t wait for the wedding pics.
I LOVE the one in BW and it looks like Erica just threw something at Jered and maybe he’s ducking, maybe she bombed him. Hard to tell. But it is AWESOME. So I have to ask – wedding cake? Seems like there could be a theme here.
Congrats you guys! Such fun photos. Sad to be missing the wedding but Adam will make it up for the both of us.
These are super cool!
These are amazing! Hope June got to help with the clean up!!
Woot woot! Two Toots for Love!
So freaking awesome! I love the food fight pics, Erica looks particularly mischievous in one. Can’t wait to celebrate your wedding!!
Great pics! Congratulations!
Super fun!!
Super cute! I love the one where Jered has a whole chunk of cake embedded in his hair while seriously considering the piece of cake he is chowing down on.
Congrats!!! Your pictures are so awesome! Best wishes always!
I absolutely loved these photos. So original. Loved the food fight photos the best.
We love these uninhibited expressions of love and fun! Marriage requires you be able to have s great deal of fun together, if your engagement pictures are any indication of what is ahead, you are well on your way to a long and wonderful Union together
you look great…. Having fun …. Especially that food fight. You look Like an amazing couple! Best wishesand lots of love to you!
Loved the photos. It is great to see just how loving and goofy
you guys are. June photographed very nicely too. See you soon.
Erica and Jered, So beautiful and so fun, and what beautiful ruby red lips! I just love the photos, they’re wonderful! So much better than the John and Yoko I imagined. I love you so much and hope all your days together are fabulous and messy and filled with love.
Comment love, comment love, comment love. 🙂
I think we have to be shaking up and spraying some bottles of bubbly at the wedding!
Gonna be fun.
Hope the puppy’s coming!
