The Proposal

i recently had the pleasure of photographing gabriel and heather at the cotton mill in mckinney. gabriel is my brother in law and we are more like brothers. this shoot however was a once in a lifetime for him. he proposed to his girlfriend, heather, during the shoot. it was an extremely special moment for me, one that i will not soon forget. God bless both of you in your lifelong sojourn together. im always here for you if you need anything! i will post quite a few images more than i usually do, but oh well…..there are just too many to leave some out…..

this first batch was just before the proposal….

  2. I cannot think of a more perfect moment and perfect couple to capture as you have. The pictures speak for themselves. Simply OUTSTANDING work Erik, and what a “moment” to add to your portfolio. THOSE are few and far between. Your natural talent is ASTOUNDING. Best, Matthew

  3. Oh my gosh, I tear up EVERY time I look at these. Since I talked to Gabriel the morning of his birthday, I got to hear about the proposal ahead of time and that it wasn’t going to be just “any” photo shoot. I’m so excited and happy for you both. Heather, welcome to the family!
    Erik, what can I say? – you’re amazing.
