Last weekend's wedding with Mike and Mariah was lots of fun. The summer heat hasn't completely set in yet so the temperatures were just right and the weather opted to ignore the 40% chance of rain and remain mostly sunny for their outdoor celebration. Family and friends gathered on the lawn of Old Main for the beautiful outdoor ceremony which was officiated by Mike's grandmother. Special props to the flower girl who decided to just "get it done" with the flower petals. Then, it was off to an intimate, laid back reception at the home of Mike's father. There's something to be said about backyard receptions. Everyone feels more at home. The conversation and laughter seems a little louder, the kids are more entertained and more people than normal offer to "get the photographers a drink". And even though we drink water during weddings, the gesture is always welcome. Here's a few images from the day. Enjoy.

Read MoreSay hello to Ben and Joy. They both work full time in the hotel industry and with hectic schedules, it's a constant battle for them to get time to just hang out with each other. But when they do, they love to go to Eureka Springs. The restaurants, the scenery, the much slower pace of life and the fact that it's quite close to Northwest Arkansas and yet, nothing like Northwest Arkansas are the main reasons why this couple simply adores the town and its people. So naturally, we ended up there for their engagement photos. And after we finished shooting, they invited me to their favorite bar/pizza joint for dinner and darts. And of course, I obliged because I like hanging out with the people I work with, I absolutely love pizza and I know nothing about darts :) Here's a few images from our fun-filled afternoon. Cheers.
Read MoreLast week, we traveled to Memphis for what turned out to be one of our favorite photography assignments ever. Saddle Creek Orthodontics hired us to create some images of their space and also, for their space. The first part of our job was a typical commercial shoot for us; documenting the details of a space and the routines of the people who use it. The second part of the shoot however, was definitely something out of the ordinary.
