Maria & Eric | Engagement

I had a really great engagement shoot last night with Maria & Eric. Somehow, we apparently picked the one place in Pennsylvania where it wasn't raining all evening and got some great shots. Good times along the way... I hiked a cliff, hung of the edge and took a spill on my way back down... and all for a shot that you'll probably never see. Let this be a lesson to all of you: If you're going to dangle your body over a 30 foot cliff, make sure its worth your while.

Anyway, Maria and Eric are really cool. We had a great time hanging out and I'm very happy with how these turned out. We left on a pretty good note, as you'll see with the last shot :)... Enjoy... Big thanks to Maria + Eric for their patience while their photographer dissected how to incorporate a wedding cake into this pic... There's a funny outtake from this shot... but I'm afraid Eric would get arrested if it got out... It didn't rain the whole time we were there.... but we wanted one more shot with some rain in it. So as we were discussing how we wished it would just start raining, it started. I hate playing favorites, but this is probably my favorite shot of the year, and among my favorites ever. Of course, it's only existed for a few hours, but I think that's how I feel about it...
