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!

Melissa and Seth

June 26, 2010 was a hot steamy day in northwest Arkansas. Melissa Foster and Seth Mosley were married at the Blue Spring Heritage Center in Eureka Springs. It was a beautiful setting under a bluff shelter just downstream from one of the largest springs in Arkansas. Family and friends gathered for the ceremony. Afterward a cloudburst chased us back up under the bluff shelter, but once the rain stopped the fog settled in to give us an excellent opportunity for photographs. Thank you Melissa and Seth for sticking it out in the heat. We got some great shots.

Lisa and Matt

I had the pleasure of photographing Lisa and Matt's wedding ceremony on May 28. They shared a quiet ceremony with family and a few friends at Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs. We captured a few images before the wedding at the Heartstone Inn. Lisa and Matt are so friendly and easy to work with. It was a beautiful evening and I was so happy to be there.

Kathryn and Daniel

Daniel and Kathryn were married on June 13 in Eureka Springs, AR. The couple shared a "first look" at the historic Crescent Hotel so that we were able to capture some family pictures prior to the ceremony. Their ceremony was held at the Thorncrown Chapel. Afterward everyone traveled to some beautiful cabins on a bluff overlooking the White River for an outdoor reception at sunset. Here are a few images to view until the entire album is ready. Enjoy!
