Erik & Jacquie: November 2011

Engagement Photo Session

We just finished taking engagement photos at the Duke Gardens today. More photos to follow soon, but here's one of the preview shots Joe sent us. You can check out his work here and on Facebook.

Our Story

Erik and Jacquie are both graduate students in the Department of Immunology at Duke University, which is how they met. Though they had known each other for over a year, they didn't really begin to spend time together until the semester that they were both teaching assistants for an introductory immunology course. Finally, Erik worked up the courage to ask Jacquie out, and they have been inseparable ever since.

After only a few months, Erik started thinking about the ring. He was so excited upon receiving it that he proposed while they were making dinner. Fortunately, Jacquie thought it was adorable and said Yes!
