Gorgeous right?? I can't say enough good things about her, she is just so, so lovely.

Her husband Eric, a Networking Sales Specialist in the NY/NJ area is a great husband and dad, at every photo session he has always been very gracious and kind to his sweet wife, adorable children... and bossy photographer. :-).

Eric & Nicole #ISTILLDOLOVE Story

1. HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?
We’ve been married 11 years that have gone by in a flash!

2. HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?
Eric and I met through his brother who was a good friend of mine and now my brother-in-law. We met at Boat Basin which we now have a view of from the top of our street.

3. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE YOU WANTED TO MARRY HIM?
There were so things especially because everything always felt so easy and natural between us. There was one day in particular that comes to mind. He came with me to volunteer at the Humane Society and was so amazing with an unruly dog. He helped by being patient, calm and strong and it made me see how he would be a wonderful husband and father.

4. SHARE YOUR LOVE STORY
Eric and I had a long distance relationship between NYC and DC. After a couple of years he sold most of his belongings, quit his job and moved to NY to be with me. During that time we had a blast taking advantage of our everything NYC had to offer. He proposed in 2006 just after sunrise in Miami and were married the next year on the cliffs of Jamaica. We are blessed with 2 beautiful children that will always be our best accomplishment.

5. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER MOST ABOUT YOUR SPOUSE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
While everyone was celebrating, he took me aside so we could share a moment by ourselves. He wanted us to always remember this special day surrounded by our friends and family.

6. IN 3 WORDS DESCRIBE WHAT YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR SPOUSE TODAY
Caring, Strong, Genuine!

7. WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
Partnership – Being lucky enough to share the ups and downs in life with your best friend by your side.

8.WHAT IS THE HARDEST THING ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
Partnership – remembering that everything you do is for the family “team”.
