Jessa and Donald

Every once in a while I get an opportunity to work in some very unique and beautiful places. On August the 7th I had that opportunity, and to top it all off that special location was close to my home. My good friends and neighbors Newt and Amy asked me to photograph their daughter's wedding ceremony and reception. The entire event was held on the grounds around their pottery shop, Osage Clayworks, which is located inside a fantastic old stone store that is on the National Register of Historic places. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful afternoon. So many people turned out for the wedding and afterward... Amy's BBQ..wow. Congratulations to Jessa and Donald! Here are a few of my favs from the day. Enjoy this sneak peek and I will be in touch when I get all the images ready for viewing.

Mallory and Jordan/ Eureka Springs Wedding Photographer

Some people make wedding photography very easy for me. Mallory and Jordan were that kind of couple. It was obvious that they love each other very much. We had a great time with some beautiful weather and fantastic locations. We began photographs at the historic Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The bride and bridesmaids got dressed in the bridal salon at the New Moon Spa. Mallory and Jordan shared a first look out on the lawn and we took off from there with all the wedding party and family photographs. Afterward, Mallory and Jordan were married at the Thorncrown Chapel. A reception was held at the Valley View Baptist Church following the ceremony.
Enjoy your sneak peek ! The rest of the images will be available shortly.

Austin and Hailey's Wedding

OK, now it's our turn. On Monday 8.9.10, our son, Austin married his love, Hailey Mills here at our home at 8:00 am. It was a small ceremony for just the immediate family and a few close friends. Hailey's brother in law photographed the ceremony so that I could be present as "Mom". Afterward I took these photos. We are all so happy for them. Looking forward to many happy years of family life and love. Congratulations kids! I love you.... Mom.

Heather and Jason/ Eureka Springs Wedding Photographer

I just love a nice, quiet little elopement ceremony. Heather and Jason had been planning this for months and finally settled on the right spot, a little B&B in Eureka Springs called the Hideaway. It was a perfect day for them and you can tell they are ready to share a great life together!
