Sarah and Daniel

A wet knot is harder to untie than a dry knot... that's what they say when it rains on your wedding day- it's good luck!  Sarah and Daniel sure made the best of a chilly wet Saturday.  The guys were up to dodging raindrops with me outside, and the girls braved the cold wind inside the doorway.  Everything about this day seemed perfect- from Sarah in her gorgeous lace- to Daniel looking dapper in gray- we were ahead of schedule (what?!?!?!)- to those beautiful purple lilies.  Inside Trinity Baptist Church was an escape from the dreary December weather outside, with it's candlelight and peacock feathers.  Daniel kept us all in stitches as he recited his 'vowels' (you had to be there :) ) And we took the warmth with us to Sunset Ridge where guests cut the chill with hot cocoa.  All in all- perfect- just like you two are.  
Sarah and Daniel, thank you so much for choosing me to be there with you on your wedding day, I feel so honored!!! 

And a huge thank you to my wonderful husband for shooting with me!  I couldn't have done it without you, David!!! :)

Jacqueline and Jake

This couple chose a March wedding date with hopes of beautiful spring blooms and some perfect Arkansas spring weather.  Well, beautiful blooms they got, but no one expected this unseasonably warm spring!  It was a surprisingly warm day, but Jacqueline looked gorgeous in her strapless gown.  And Jake and the guys were more than happy to lose their suit jackets for most of the day. 

When I met with these two for the first time, they specifically said they did not want to see each other before the ceremony, and I supported their decision- I love tradition :) But, about a week before the wedding Jacqueline convinced Jake to do a first look- which I love even more than tradition! I love the extra time it gives the couple to just be together, such an intimate moment that I am always excited to capture.

I am so thankful that this amazing couple chose me to photograph their day, they are so full of joy and laughter.  And because of that- they are so much fun to photograph!  I had such a good time with them and their families, and believe me- there was lots of laughing!  I chose many laughing pictures to share with you, because I love how Jake can make Jacqueline (and the rest of us) laugh.  I hope that you enjoy this peek at their happy day! :)

 



I am so thankful to Kim Boyd and my husband David for shooting with me- we sure had a great day. :)
