ROB + ERIN

A Romantic Spring Wedding with a choir of angels | Southern Pines, NC

The forecast for this Friday's wedding day was 100% chance of rain...ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!! Along with April, we all know, comes showers...and boy were there showers for Rob & Erin's wedding day. This cheerful couple took it all in stride. Erin texted me and stated she would like to try outdoor portraits as long as it wasn't too bad.

I’ve been looking forward to capturing their day since their engagement session last fall when I realized just how sweet and giddy they both are! Their love was apparent from the first moment I saw them...just adorable.

I absolutely loved their story. Rob and Erin were actually set up by one of her students. She had her for four years in high school and he worked with her at youth group at Brownson Presbyterian. For a year and a half she went back and forth telling them both that they should really meet. This persistent student finally talked her into friending him on Facebook...Erin's first thought "he's cute!". As a good student does, She brought that information to Rob and he thought, "why not?" So he got in touch and they met a week later for a date. And here they are getting married. This lovely student shared the first toast of the evening and stated she wrote her speech the night she decided to set them up!

The day did rain...and it rained...but there were breaks in all of the right places and we were able to enjoy some beautiful weather for portraits. It was amazing being surrounded by their family and friends. One of my favorite moments of the day was when Erin's students sang a sweet song in four part harmony. Their voices filled the church and tugged right on my heart string, triggering my tear ducts to produce even more rain for the day. This moment was followed by all of her students surrounding the couple to give them some love (She must be a wonderful teacher!).

During the reception, their family and friends all surrounded them on the dance floor and sang at the top of their lungs, one of my favorite Billy Joel tunes, "Piano Man". Everyone was cheering them on while they danced in the middle of this large circle. It was a joyful celebration of a wonderful couple!! Rob & Erin, congratulations on this new season of life! We hope your honeymoon is amazing...the best is yet to come.

Enjoy my favorites from their day!
