Album Story – Erin-David Technique Records Engagement Photos 

To start off this story, it has to be said that all of this was all made possible by David’s cousin, Kayla. If not for her pushing to get us to hang out, David never would’ve had the courage to speak to Erin.

It was a few months in the making, they worked in the same building but never said more than just a hello! Kayla worked her magic and created the story what will forever be known as the start of Erin and Davids fairytale romance.

After a romantic meal under fairy lights in their apartment David proposed to Erin on their couch!

She said yes and the rest, as they say, is history.

That is why we started the photoshoot at their apartment because it is a special place for them both for many reasons. Doing a shoot in the couples own space is also great because it is easier for them to relax into the photoshoot. They are in a familiar place surrounded by familiar things, and in this case, it also where their fur babies are. And in my opinion, they definitely need to be included in the shoot!

This was a fun filled shoot. With 3 locations, 3 outfit changes and 2 pets there was lots of inspiration. They chose locations that were special to them and in really shows through in the photos.

David and Erin were so good to shoot! They were constantly smiling, laughing and joking around! It was a joy to photograph them.

Client Questionnaire

Q1: Let’s start at the beginning. How did you two first meet?
A1: Erin and I worked in a shared kitchen. I worked for a company that used the kitchen early in the morning, and she worked for a company that started when I would finish my shift. My cousin worked with me in the morning, then would stay and help out with the other company. My cousin knew that I was single, and knew that Erin was single, and decided to play matchmaker. For weeks, I would try to work up the courage to talk to Erin, but could never manage to say anything to her. Then my cousin started to help out and passed along the message that I thought Erin was cute. That started a game of me telling my cousin something, and my cousin relaying it to Erin, and then back and forth. After a few weeks, everything seemed to come together, and we had a group hangout. Erin, Erin’s best friend, my cousin, her friend, and myself all went out and just hung out and had a great time, and that’s when I figured out I wanted to ask Erin out on a date.

Q4: Give us all the details about the proposal. How and where did it happen? Was it a surprise? What was the planning process?
A4: The proposal went as smoothly as anyone could’ve planned. I decorated our apartment with string lights, and made one of Erin’s favorite meals. After dinner, I asked Erin to join me on the couch, and then I told her how much she meant to me and how much I loved her and then pulled out the ring and asked her to marry me.

Q6: Are you excited to start planning your wedding day? Do you have any ideas in mind yet?
A6: Yes the planning process is fun but stressful. We both settled on the idea of what our wedding is going to look like very quickly. Lots of string lights, pretty flowers, and lots of family and friends.
