Lindsay and Dusty Engagement

Here's a fun engagement session I shot for Dusty and Lindsay the day before their wedding. They are from Louisiana and were not able to make another trip to Arkansas before the wedding so with tight schedules all around we managed to pull this session off just before their rehearsal dinner. They were great to follow me around to some of my favorite spots and in a matter of an hour we came out with some great shots.  Here are just a few of them. Wedding photos will follow soon!

Molly and Terry's wedding ( Newton County Arkansas Wedding Photographer)

Deep in the woods in Newton County, Arkansas lies a little community by the name of Murray. Molly and Terry decided to come here to be married on May 21, 2011 and they invited me to be there to capture their small ceremony in the woods at Beyond Reality Cabin. With their loved ones in attendance Molly and Terry exchanged vows and involved the entire family in the ceremony. I love to work at home in Newton County so it was a very special opportunity for me. Everyone in this family is so kind and caring. Even Terry's twin brother, Thomas, officiated the ceremony.

Molly and Terry enjoy this sneak peek at your images. I have so many to choose from and they are all great!

Part of the ceremony involved a "lemonade unity". Terry placed lemon juice in the mix to represent the sometimes sour times in a marriage and Molly added sugar to the mix to represent the sweet times in a marriage. They served up some lemonade to everyone and shared a toast.

I have always been amazed by the bond between twins and it is so evident here as you can see in the family photo below.

One that I always count as an important photograph to capture, father and daughter sharing a moment following a wedding ceremony.  It's one of my most cherished photos from my own wedding in the woods in Newton County.

What a beautiful day for a beautiful couple. Best wishes to you, both!

Kelly and Colby's Wedding Eureka Springs Wedding Photographer

It was the afternoon of May 14, and Colby knew he was scheduled to have a few photos taken before his wedding, alone and not to see his bride until she walked down the stone path at Thorncrown Chapel. Kelly had other plans.  From the time we first met to plan photography for their wedding months ago, Kelly knew she wanted to surprise Colby before the wedding and have photos taken together out at their lake cabin.  The day was perfect, the lighting was nice and what a sweet couple they make.... cute flower girl, too.  Here is a sneak peek at some of the photos we captured that warm windy day. 

Gerri and Adam's Engagement Session

Here are a dozen more images from our super fun engagement session for Gerri and Adam.

What a great day in a beautiful area, wonderful people.... the photos speak for themselves!

Gerri and Adam

Spring has been crazy busy for me with a good schedule of photography aside from the duties of settling my mother's estate.  On Monday I got to do what I love best.... shoot in my neighborhood.  I live very close to the upper end of the Buffalo National River in northwest Arkansas and I love it when my clients want to hold their photo sessions here.  Gerri and Adam wanted to have their engagement photographs taken on and around the Buffalo River.  Both are outdoor enthusiasts and they couldn't have chosen a better spot. This is one of the last photos I captured of them. I have soooo.... many to work up, but I am so excited about them I couldn't wait to post a bunch.   So here's a start with many more are on the way!

I love my job....
