It is an honor to have another photographer entrust you with photographing their wedding…

Nick & Jessica's Wedding was a memorable for a number of reasons. The first reason that comes to mind is how many shirts I sweated through on their wedding day. (4, which is a new record for me.) Combine that with the location for their wedding...a beautiful home in South Fayetteville, designed by an understudy of local architect, Fay Jones and the fact that they left their wedding reception on a jet plane and you have a pretty memorable day. 

But the biggest reason weddings continue to be memorable for me is because of the people I get to work with. And Nick and Jessica are two of the kindest, most adventurous souls my 12 years of working in this industry and have led me to celebrate with. Congratulations and Best Wishes, you two....thanks for having me. 

I hung out with Troy and Marian all day and I honestly loved every minute I spent with them. They are thoughtful, genuine and madly in love with each other. Plus, they do some pretty awesome serious faces. (See above photograph for example). Thanks for allowing me to photograph your celebration you two, it was an honor. Enjoy this (rather lengthy) sneak peek of images. 

Cheers.

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Paxton and Laura who were married recently on a beautiful Saturday that also happened to be Cinco De Mayo. In accordance with the holiday, there was a Sombrero and a couple of fake mustaches on hand and the photographers (Thanks to my good friend Jared Sorrells for spending the day with me) as well as the groomsmen put them to good use during picture time. The weather was nice and the family and friends were even nicer and it was in fact, one of my favorite weddings ever. 

But this was without a doubt, the hardest wedding I've ever been a part of as well…

Even with the the rain, Ben and Julie's Wedding was a beautiful start to the year. Congratulations and Best Wishes, you two. Thanks for having me be a part of your beautiful celebration!

As photographers, we can't change the weather so we have to roll with the punches. No rain is ideal, but a best case scenario would be a little bit of rain on at the end of engagement photos. That's exactly what happened with Paxton and Laura a couple months back. We made it through 98% of the photoshoot before it started pouring down rain. I enjoyed hanging out with these two immensely and I can't wait to celebrate with them in a couple of months!

Congratulations to Hunter and Lesley. These two recently celebrated their wedding in Downtown Rogers. Their celebration was spread out over the course of two days, beginning with a small, intimate ceremony held in a beautiful and historic old church. After a few pictures together, the couple joined their wedding guests at Levi's Gastrolounge and Low Bar for dinner and dancing. The celebration continued Saturday night with a larger celebration for extended family friends held at Ozark Beer Company. The original plan was to setup outside but due to cold temperatures, the kind folks at Ozark Beer decided to rearrange their entire space to accommodate everyone indoors. This was of course no small task, but the results were incredible. This was my last wedding for the year and definitely one of my all-time favorites. 

Thanks to everyone for another wonderful year of weddings and enjoy the photos. 

Today on the blog, I'm happy to share some of my favorite images from Anna and Macy's Wedding. They are dear, dear friends of mine and fellow creatives as well. I am very honored that they entrusted me to creatively capture their best day ever. Congratulations & Best Wishes, you two!
