I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

Journal

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged any weddings, ya’ll. I know. I have about 15 weddings an engagement sessions that I’m dying to share this winter. Gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS days that you guys need to see! (more…)

Ryan and Emily‘s gorgeous Ballroom at I Street wedding was a dreeeeeam to photograph. I knew right away when I met these two last year that their day would be one of my most timeless and classically beautiful weddings of the year, and boy was I right!

(more…)

– Loft At Stone Oak Wedding Photographer –

Honestly I just don’t even know what I could say about being the Loft at Stone Oak wedding photographer for this shoot, beyond that it was PERFECT. (more…)

Guys, I am so excited to share Katie & Andrew‘s Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks wedding with you guys. These two lovebirds are the absolute perfect pair, and their day was everything sweet and beautiful. (more…)

– Loft at Stone Oak Wedding Styled Shoot –

Goodness you guys, I’m just a little bit behind on blogging. Actually right now I can think of four engagement sessions, two styled shoots and two weddings that I’ve delivered but not blogged. Whoops! (more…)

– Brick Ballroom Wedding Photographer –

A couple of months ago I heard about a brand new wedding venue coming to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. It was a Chevy dealership in the 1920s and basically it’s all the stuff of wedding photographer’s dreams.

(more…)

– Missouri Wedding Photographer –

It’s been a good long while since my last vendor spotlight, you guys! Last Fall’s wedding season was just so C-R-A-Z-Y, I had to take a break from finishing this series while I kept up (okay, barely kept up) with client projects and weddings. (more…)

– Goodwin Manor Wedding Shoot –

Holy guacamole, you guys. I know I say this a lot – maybe I’m starting to sound like a broken record (sorry) – but I LOVED THIS SHOOT. Sometimes I can’t even believe that this job is mine. I get to create. I get to create SO MUCH! For so many people!! PINCH ME. And this Goodwin Manor wedding shoot was absolutely no exception. (more…)

– Arkansas Weddings 2017: In Review – 

Goodness gracious, you guys. There’s no way we’re already in 2018. Right? Riiiiiight? I feel like I just blinked and the year went by, except that I have so many marvelous memories from the year that had to have come from somewhere. I spent so much time with gorgeous brides and dapper grooms at Arkansas weddings (and Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Oklahoma weddings…), witnessed so much love and joy and commitment to forever that it could fill me for a lifetime. Oh, and sparkly things. So many sparkly things.

Heirloom handkerchiefs and rings and veils, lace gowns and chiffon gowns, princess cut diamonds and cushion cut diamonds.

Bridal sneakers with glitter and the fanciest Jimmy Choos and Louboutin pumps (sometimes also with glitter).

Garden roses and peonies and protea and succulents and baby’s breath (so much baby’s breath).

2017 was an amazing year for this little venture of mine. I did the highest number of weddings so far in my career (about 35 full weddings, and a few elopements and reception-only gigs) and was so exhausted and HAPPY. Nothing makes me more fulfilled than this work I do for my precious clients and friends. In 2018 I’m going to scale back a bit to 25 full weddings so I don’t find myself missing my family SO many weekends in a row during busy season, but I’m so looking forward to each and every amazing day with my amazing clients all over Northwest and Central Arkansas this year. And to be honest, we’ll see if I can even bring myself to turn any sweet brides away once I hit 25. Ha!

So to celebrate the New Year (I know, I’m a week late! But I did my best!) I went through the weddings I shot this year and grabbed my favorites…and I came up with 634 favorites. Yikes!! That would be one super mega long blog post that probably nobody would even read, so I whittled it down farther. But not too far! There are still 99 images, most of which I’ve never blogged before (that was kind of a goal when I was selecting them). This was actually kind of an interesting exercise because it showed me what I’m really really drawn to. It’s not surprising that the obvious answers are JOY, genuine emotion, and moments of tenderness between people that love each other. Scroll and enjoy, and have a Happy New Year!! Nothing like new beginnings, eh?

– Josh and Chelsea’s Ravington Wedding –

Northwest Arkansas is quickly becoming quite the wedding destination, you guys. We have SO many incredible and unique venues in this area now and new ones opening all the time, and The Ravington in Centerton Arkansas is one of the best! Josh and Chelsea’s Ravington wedding last Sunday was the full of the sweetest little moments in this beautiful space, from their first look in the gorgeous bridal suite to their sweet kiss in front of the amazing doors from a castle in India. Chelsea’s dress was SO beautiful and unique (I truly don’t think I’ve seen another one like it in all my career!) and Josh looked so dapper in his blue suit and leather oxfords!

It was an overcast and chilly day (as is the usual in Northwest Arkansas this time of year) that made everybody a little bit happy when portrait time outside was over, but it was oh so warm and cozy inside. Josh and Chelsea’s family and friends gathered and enjoyed a beautiful ceremony and reception (all of which Chelsea planned in 3 weeks, because she’s a BOSS) and finished the party off with lines of loved ones cheering them on as they left. What a fun afternoon of love and joy! Josh and Chelsea, thank you so much for allowing me into your wedding day. Now everybody scroll down and take a peek!

– Mississippi Delta Wedding – 

Last weekend was a doozy, you guys. In the best way!!! I spent Friday shooting a wedding with my best photographer friend, then I took her roadtripping with me down to Clarksdale for Taylor Allen and Katie’s sweet Mississippi Delta wedding on Saturday.

Saturday morning, thick grey clouds and a slow drizzle wrapped the town in a damp blanket. We kept an eye on the weather forecast (crossing our fingers that the skies were going to clear in time) and started out our day with breakfast at the delightfully warm and inviting restaurant below the lofts we slept in, Yazoo Pass Bistro + Bakery. It was absolutely delicious (I highly recommend visiting them anytime you’re in Clarksdale; you won’t be disappointed), and they also just so happened to be making the cake for the wedding! 

Around noon we headed out to the Clarksdale White House to track down Katie and her girls. And just a mere couple of hours later Katie was dressed, Taylor Allen was dressed, and they were ready for their first look! And boy was it an adorable first look, ya’ll! Taylor Allen was positively giddy over seeing his incredibly gorgeous bride for the first time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a funny and sweet reaction!

Their ceremony at First United Methodist of Clarksdale was beautiful and personal to them, and their reception in the Norman Brown Commons Building at the Cutrer Mansion was exquisite. They did an incredible job transforming the space into an elegant and luxurious wedding reception. You’ll see what I mean in just a second, just you wait!

Scroll down to see the some of my favorite images and get a glimpse into Taylor Allen and Katie’s gorgeous wedding day. I was so thrilled to be the one to capture it for them!!

– Columbus Indiana Wedding – 

It’s pretty often that my brides and grooms become dear friends. We spend quite a bit of time talking, planning and excitedly waiting for one of the biggest days of their lives, so is it really any wonder? I adore that aspect of my job and I have been blessed with the most incredible people coming into my life through my business. But these kids right here…they are literally family. I always get all teary eyed and feel all joyful and giddy at weddings, but there were so many times throughout Stephen and Hannah’s Columbus Indiana wedding day that I could decide whether I wanted to bawl like a baby or just absolutely beam from ear to ear! There is nothing quite like seeing a person grow up from a 7 year old punk kid (sorry Stephen) into such a fine young man, and then BE THE ONE that gets to document the moments he becomes a husband. And Hannah? Our family hit the jackpot when we got this girl! Hannah is quite literally perfect for Stephen in every way: she’s an absolute knockout (duh), she’s so very kind hearted, smart, classy and spunky, and so much FUN to be around! 

Their wedding day at The Commons in Columbus, Indiana was so dreamy and beautiful (and okay, a little bit HOT…note the sweet bride standing in front of the freezer in that one photo…I couldn’t help but include that one!). I’m pretty sure I audibly squealed when I saw the vast expanse of sweeping floor to ceiling windows, and Hannah’s vision to use greenery and white and gold accents dressed the space up to absolute perfection. You’re going to see! Scroll down and enjoy (and be sure to check out the awesome vendors list at the bottom)!

– Stephen and Gina’s Pratt Place Wedding – 

Stephen and Gina’s gorgeous Pratt Place wedding is up next on the blog today! I just adore shooting out at the beautiful Pratt Place Inn and Barn – the inn is gorgeous, the barn is gorgeous, the grounds are gorgeous…I mean what’s not to love?! 

This sweet couple’s first look was one of my favorites ever. She cried, he cried, but they both did their fair share of laughing too! It was the sweetest thing to watch them feel so overwhelmed with each other that they almost didn’t know what to do. That’s the kind of love they write stories about!

Their families were just the best, they were surrounded by so much support and tender care and it was so delightful to be a part of. I was thankful to be asked to be there on their special day, and shooting with my best girl Christy is always such a joy!!

As usual, Pratt Place and Weddings by Karie did a great job creating a stunning day for Gina and Stephen (along with some other fabulous vendors – scroll to the bottom of the post for links). Enjoy my favorite images from their day, and be sure to visit those other vendors’ websites too!

Barn at the Springs Wedding

– Jason + Chloe’s Barn at the Springs Wedding – 

Jason and Chloe’s beautiful Barn at the Springs wedding is up today! It was a great day to be a Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photographer at Barn at the Springs that beautiful September day, for sure. I had the pleasure of joining Christy as her second shooter and boy did we have a blast (as we always do)!

It was a Sunday full of Fall sunshine and the mood in the air was just as bright. These two are SO in love and it’s just so evident to anybody who’s around them! It’s so inspiring to spend time with a couple that love each other without exception and have such a strong connection. They belong together! Chloe looked stunning in her lace gown and all the girls with their bouquets from 17th Design just shone so bright. Jason looked super dapper in his khaki suit and tie, and how about those unique boutineers??

I’ve picked out a few of my very favorite of their portraits and details from their wedding day and I’d love to share them with you. Some of them feature the Barn at the Spring’s gorgeous old farm truck and some of them feature their gorgeous golden hour light (okay, basically all of them do)! So grab yourself a cup of coffee, scroll down, and enjoy these images!

– Lindsay + Cody’s Hazel Valley Ranch Wedding – 

You guys, I’m here to admit I’m a little behind on blogging. It’s actually surprisingly difficult to keep up with shooting and delivering galleries, and then social media and blogging on top of everything else! So in my down-time while it’s hot this summer and nobody wants to get married (ha!) I’m going to be playing a little bit of catch-up on my blog. I’ll start with Lindsay and Cody’s gorgeous Hazel Valley Ranch wedding. It was a great day to be a Northwest Arkansas wedding photographer!

Cody was definitely the most dapper fella around in his navy blue suit and bowtie. He was also the luckiest fella around, with his gorgeous bride dressed to the nines in an incredible lace mermaid gown and white, blush and soft green bouquet! Their outdoor ceremony overlooked the pond and was surrounded by huge old trees and rolling pastures.

The forecast had been calling for thunderstorms, but the weather cleared and everything about their day was absolute perfection. There were so many smiles, happy tears, laughs, hugs and kisses…it was easy to see that Lindsay and Cody are meant to be together and so obvious that they are very dearly loved. Thank you so much to Christy for having me out to help photograph the day!

Scroll down to see my favorite images from the wedding. Enjoy!

– Vasica Piscis Chapel – 

Tucked right outside the suburbs of Tulsa, Oklahoma sits the beautiful Vesica Piscis Chapel, an old-world style European wedding and reception venue with so much charm, I was thrilled to get to be an Oklahoma wedding photographer here for a day! I get to shoot at a lot of great venues that include space for the ceremony as well as the reception, but rarely do they accomplish that as flawlessly as the Vesica Piscis Chapel does. It is a venue that was obviously created to be the complete package for their brides and grooms, and they are kicking butt at that goal for sure!

I was tickled to be the second photographer for the beautiful and talented Melodie Maynard at Marco and Becca’s Oklahoma wedding in April, and boy was it gorgeous. Becca looked stunning in her gown with a sweetheart neckline and Marco so sharp in his suit. They even had custom socks made, Marco’s saying “Becca Loves Marco” and Becca’s saying “Mrs. Maturino” and their sweet wedding date. So cute!! They had a tear-filled (okay Marco, we’ll let you blame your allergies) first look in front of the chapel’s gorgeous gardens and soaring windows, and their sweet love for each other was just so evident throughout the day. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen were vibrant and full of love and ready to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. Maturino, and their energy and excitement was contagious! 

The night ended with a heartfelt first dance, a delicious supper, and a PARTY! The music was perfectly loud enough, the mood was one of joy and celebration, and everybody danced the night away with the wonderful new husband and wife. Since you’re here, take a minute and scroll down and enjoy my favorite images from Becca and Marco’s sweet day at Vesica Piscis Chapel!

One beautiful (but frigid) January day this year, Julie (who happens to be a successful blogger) and Ryan met at the altar to say their vows and become man and wife, and I was so thrilled to be their Springdale Arkansas Wedding Photographer! It had been so cold that we had every reason to hope for snow, but it turned out to be just the non-precipitation kind of incredibly cold (so Julie brought her own snow)! But the sun came out, hearts were warm and the love between Ryan and Julie and their families was just so palpable. Ryan looked super sharp in his khaki suit and Julie took everybody’s breath away in her gorgeous white strapless sweetheart gown. They wrote each other the cutest letters that they got to exchange before their first look in front of the spot where they’d later be married. Their song played softly over the sound system in the sanctuary, and together they slow danced like they were the only people on Earth.

The contrast of Cross Church Springdale’s modern lighted drape design overhead and the classically simple wooden backdrop with twinkly candles was the perfect blend of decor for their ceremony, and before we knew it, they were married! Ryan and Julie have amazing friends and family that came from all over to witness the joining of these two hearts, and I was truly blessed to be a part of their Springdale Arkansas Wedding. Enjoy these photos of their special day (and pssst…check out their engagement photos from last Fall)!

– Arkansas Wedding Photographer –

Gosh, I don’t even know where to start on the wild last-minute story that brought me as an Arkansas Wedding Photographer to Kristina and Jacob’s beautiful day at Stone Creek Ranch in Mountain Home, Arkansas. One thing is for sure though – I was so blessed to have been able to step in and be there to witness this seriously gorgeous and impossibly kind couple begin their lives together as husband and wife. What a day!

Stone Creek Ranch is a sprawling rustic venue in the hills of Arkansas with tons of space for loved ones to gather and celebrate the joining of hearts and families. Kristina looked stunning in her white lace and nude sheath gown and huge bouquet of white and pale pink roses and soft greenery, and the sweet navy bridesmaids dresses complemented Jacob and the guys’ grey suits and navy ties. It was the perfect weather, especially for mid-November, for Jacob and Kristina’s ceremony outside on the lawn and we even had time for some golden, back-lit, hazy portrait goodness before we headed inside to the reception. Inside the charming 2-story wide open and spacious barn, Jacob and Kristina decorated with personal touches and sweet driftwood, hydrangea, baby’s breath and greenery centerpieces on each table. After a delicious BBQ dinner, they danced the night away with their family and friends to the awesome beats of DJ Peace from Peace Productions.

Today is Thanksgiving and I’m reflecting a little bit on the things in my life that I’m thankful for. I know that sometimes I might sound like a broken record, but with each and every single wedding I swear I find my new favorite couple and new favorite wedding day. I am so fortunate to have the chance to work with the loveliest people, and so fortunate to be the one that gets to share the photo recap of their amazing wedding days with you, their family and friends. Enjoy these, and please feel free to share!

– Little Rock Wedding Photographer –

Sarah Beth and Josh chose the beautiful and luxurious Capital Hotel in Downtown Little Rock for their special day, and it quickly rose to the top of my list of favorite places as a Little Rock wedding photographer. From the ornate lobby with marble walls and red and gold accents to the double staircases and stained glass windows, everywhere you look is a stunning display of classic-but-updated 1870’s style and grace.

And of course, Sarah Beth’s classically gorgeous features fit in beautifully in these spaces! The white and coral florals with little accents of yellow complimented the Sarah Beth’s dark hair and Josh’s light grey suit and navy tie. They had a short and sweet ceremony and a seated dinner reception in the historic Brooks and Baxter rooms where they ate, drank and laughed the night away. They absolutely radiated happiness and love and Sarah Beth, Josh and all their family and friends were the epitome of kindness and grace.

I was so thrilled to be able to travel to Little Rock and be there for Josh and Sarah Beth to witness and capture their special moments as they became husband and wife. It’s my pleasure to share these images now with you, their family and friends! Enjoy!

– St. Catherine’s Fayetteville Wedding Photographer –

St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable remains one of my tippy top favorite places to photograph as a Fayetteville wedding photographer. Everybody I’ve ever seen lay eyes on this chapel for the first time reacts the same way – a barely audible gasp, a breathless “oh…” and a remark about how they feel as if they just walked into a fairytale. And it’s true, this venue is like stepping into a fairytale!

Bob and Harriet’s beautiful October wedding day was no exception. The beautiful vine-wrapped stone chapel was the perfect backdrop for this precious new husband and wife! Harriet chose a beautiful tailored black dress and topped it off with a soft and luxurious black fur shawl and incredible white hydrangea and rose bouquet with sweet dusty miller greenery. And Bob looked so sharp in his black tux and white rose boutonniere!

Bob escorted Harriet into the chapel and down the aisle where their friends and family waited to witness their nuptials in the glow of candles and chandeliers. Their intimate ceremony was personal and meaningful as the officiant read a poem they chose just for those special moments that started their marriage. They exited through a chorus of ringing bells and were whisked down to the gorgeous creekside reception area under a canopy of trees for a champagne toast and cake by Rick’s Bakery. Many smiles and hugs later, the group reconvened for a reception dinner at Mermaid’s in a beautiful private dining room with a stunning glass drop chandelier.

And now that I’ve talked your ears off, enjoy looking through these images of Bob and Harriet’s day!

– Central Arkansas Wedding Photographer –

First off, Christy and George are simply the awesomest. That’s a word, right? Oh well, just go with it. Christy has that quintessential southern girl charm with a little bit of a wild streak, so you just never know what fun or funny thing she’s going to pull out next! It’s easy to see how her personality and George’s sweet and calm demeanor compliment each other just perfectly. Despite the intense Central Arkansas heat and buckets of sweat that were shed that day between all of us, they were still the most chill and relaxed couple, willing to push onward to enjoy their guests and get some stunning portraits at The Old Mill and it made the whole process just so enjoyable to be a part of. Their ceremony and reception at Calvary Baptist in Little Rock went off without a hitch and the next day they left for a two week tour of Europe. I asked if I could sneak along in their suitcases, but they said no. Sigh. 🙂 Scroll down and enjoy a bunch of my favorite images from their wonderful day!

– Northwest Arkansas Bridal Photographer –

Christy and George finally tied the knot this passed weekend so I can share her stunning Arkansas Bridal Photographer portraits! We wandered around some of the hot spots of Bentonville all dressed up, and Christy heard ‘congratulations!’ more times than she can count (and had her photo snapped by a very excited little old lady too, haha)! Bridal portraits are some of my favorite sessions, and hugely beneficial for my brides when they choose to do them. Not only does it allow us a chance to work together before the wedding, but it also gives them a chance to do a hair and makeup test run, to see how it photographs and what they might want to adjust for their wedding day. It also means they can display a big, beautiful bridal photo print or canvas at the reception! Enjoy these images of Christy, and be sure to watch for the sneak peek blog post of their wedding day! Now scroll on and enjoy these images from around Compton Gardens and Crystal Bridges.

– Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography –

Caitlin is one of the sweetest and most gracious souls you’ll ever meet, and that part of her came out in every part of their wedding day. From her beautiful navy and emerald wedding party attire to her soft and delicately colored bouquet from Bloom Floral, this was a beautiful wedding (at St Stephen in Bentonville) and reception. I had a 4 person Arkansas wedding photography team with me that day and together we captured all the photos and video of the fabulous event, and I’m so excited to share these beautiful wedding photos! Caitlin and her dashing groom partied the night away with all their guests and with the help of DJ Frankie from Dancenhance and the awesome crew from Pink House Alchemy at The Grand at 117.

Other Vendors:

Bridal Gown: Low’s Bridal

Bridemaid’s Dresses: David’s Bridal

– Missouri Wedding Photographer –

We had to watch the weather so closely for rain and had a plan B just in case, but the rain held off and we had a beautifully cool, cloudy day for their outdoor ceremony on the patio at Amadeus Ranch! They had the loveliest first look and the best little moments with each other and their parents (which I, of course, cried like a baby over in my usual fashion). Alyssa’s sweet feminine style with her floral crown and barefoot sandals made her the most beautiful bride! Chase is the youth pastor at the very nearby Racine Christian Church in Seneca, MO and it was so obvious how well-loved he and Alyssa are. It was a true pleasure to watch these two families and all their friends and loved ones come together to celebrate, encourage and love on this incredible couple as they start such a new chapter of their lives. Thank you, Chase and Alyssa, for inviting me to witness and tell the story of your wedding. Now, scroll down and enjoy these favorites of mine from your big day!

– Mount Magazine Wedding Photographer –

As an Arkansas wedding photographer, I’ve seen a ton of beautiful wedding venues. But what an incredible change of pace it was to be in a Mount Magazine wedding photographer atop the highest mountain in Arkansas witnessing this special couple’s vows to each other with the sweeping vistas of the Ouachita mountains as their backdrop. They smartly chose the Cameron’s Bluff overlook for their sweet and perfect ceremony, and partied the evening away with their families and loved ones in a nearby pavilion in the park. The day was bright and sunny and gorgeous and just couldn’t have been better weather for an outdoor celebration! Mandy’s simply beautiful lace dress and the navy and blush wedding party colors fit so wonderfully into the spirit of the day and into the colors of nature around them. I left this mountain wedding so happily exhausted and thrilled for these two and their new life together. Thank you so much for having me there, Mandy and Brandon! I had such a great time and can’t wait for you guys to re-live your day through pictures. Now get to scrolling!
