We started the day at the beautiful Joule Hotel in downtown Dallas – I cannot believe that I have never been there before! As soon as Vivian and I arrived, we took a stroll around the hotel and found some really fun areas to photograph Erica’s shoes and dress. Then we  hopped on a elevator to head to Erica’s room, just to figure out that wasn’t going anywhere without a keycard! So off to the front desk we went and that began the adventures of the day …

Erica’s parents – Aren’t they the sweetest?

We met Joe at the Arboretum and I went straight from “Hello, nice to meet you!” straight to “Ok, it’s time for the first look!”. Joe’s reaction to seeing Erica was AMAZING. It’s impossible not to smile as you look at the following images. Go ahead, I dare you not to smile!
