Erin and Luke | Chartier’s Country Club Wedding

“I realize that Luke and I have yet to become engaged, but we already know that we want you to photograph our wedding. Save the date of 4-3-2-1!” Erin says to me at a neighborhood get together. I smiled, took out my phone, and stamped that date solid in my calendar.
I remember the first time that I met Erin, we were at a Garden Club spring plant sale in our little borough of Rosslyn Farms. Erin grew up in Rosslyn Farms, and recently moved back after living some time in California. Now, she lives up the street from her parents and is my neighbor! Erin and I share an affinity for rescuing animals; at any point, she can have upwards of 3, 4, or 5 rescues in her home, in addition to her own pets (her dog, Naara, is an Instagram sensation! Check her out @naara.thehusky.)

Luke and Erin complement each other so perfectly. I honestly can’t think of a better match in a couple. They are both laid-back, intelligent, kind, and helpful to name a few. Erin has a heart of gold, case in point, the number of animals that she saves each year. Luke is the perfect balance of friendly, polite, and polished. The first time that I met him, I was impressed at how genuinely interested he is in getting to know somebody, and also that he is a great conversationalist.

From the vibrant florals at their ceremony at Phipps Conservatory, to the casual and intimate dinner reception at Chartier’s Country Club, Erin and Luke’s wedding day was the perfect way to celebrate their marriage. Take a look to see what I mean…
