erika & ross | santa cruz wedding photographer | Holy Cross church

I can’t think of a better couple for my very first blog post. Erika is one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and both of my kids were lucky enough to experience that sweetness when she was their preschool teacher.  Whenever I’m beyond frustrated and about to lose my cool, I still say to myself, “channel your inner Erika.”  She is so down to earth and takes care of those around her with a graceful ease. Ross is an amazing father with a passion for cars. He possesses a kind heart and a sense of depth beneath his beautifully tattooed exterior. After crushing on Erika in the classroom, he soon realized that she was his soul mate, and while he may be a good couple of feet taller in height, they seem to fit perfectly together. They share a real love for their family and their great friends, they both know how to have a good time, and they definitely know how to rip up a dance floor. I was honored to document their big and beautiful day….and here’s one massive blog post to match.
