Taylor | Nick {Wedding Day - Garvan Woodland Gardens, Hot Springs AR}

Hey Everyone... again!

We usually don't have time to blog two things in one day, but this just couldn't wait one more second! We are sharing with you the wedding of the beautiful Taylor and Nick George! We met Taylor and Nick for the first time at their engagement session and knew right off the bat that these two were going to be a blast! We could tell that they were both SO head over heels in love with each other!

Their wedding day was perfection! Her colors were 'grass green' meets lavender and other shades of purple. Her tables scapes had just the slightest touch of blue in the flowers and made things really pop! Her super super elegant gown made a beautiful impact on the more 'industrial' style of the Anthony Chapel within the gardens. Walking down a flagstone path to the chapel tucked deep into the woods made the expectation of this wedding to be nothing more than perfect, and Taylor and Nick delivered.

Kathryn and I have never been to a wedding where one of us didn't cry, and this day surly wasn't an exception. There were a countless number of moments that we were honored to capture and will share a few of them with you in the images below. From Nick getting watery-eyed as he watched his bride walk to him down the isle... to Taylor becoming totally overwhelmed with emotion during the 'big kiss' and walking out with tears streaming down her face... special moments that you just can't make up! These are what makes each wedding special and unique!

Anywho, enough jibber-jabber! Lets get to the photos!


OK, so take it for what it's worth, but its pretty hard to beat a fitted lace gown with a sheer overlay with crystals and rhinestones embroidered on. I mean, come on.


And these shoes are everything... sorry in advance for several shoe pictures. Can't really help myself. 






Purple and burlap was the perfect combination, especially with Taylor's dad's bandanna to wrap the stems of her bouquet! 




She beyond gorg!






Another shoe shot and not even sorry. 


Like I said earlier, the elegance of her dress and the bridal party attire was a perfect contrast for the industrial styling of the Anthony Chapel! 











"OK! Bridal Party! Stand on the ledge of this bridge!" 

LOVE it when the bridal party is willing to do anything... even risk their lives! 





The reception was held under a beautiful pavilion across the garden grounds! 








Ok, this is one of those 'special moments' I was talking about earlier. Taylor didn't know what her dad had up his sleeve for their first dance and it totally took her by surprise. He reminded taylor of when they would dance when she was just a little girl and asked for at least one last dance with his little girl. 

*Que water works* 





Congrats Taylor and Nick! We love you guys and wish the absolute best for y'all! 

Happy Thursday!

Whitney | James {Royal Ridge Barn - Hot Springs, AR}

Hey Everyone!

We have been so excited to share with you Whitney and James Davis' wedding day! One of our favorite things is to post a wedding while the couple is on their honeymoon, in this case MEXICO, before the couple arrives back! It's like a big surprise when their phones get service and they're blowing up with comments and 'likes'! So fun, right?! They were married last weekend at Royal Ridge Barn, a boy was it EVERYTHING! We were so anxious to see the venue and it really was perfection!

Whitney chose a dreamy fall color pallet of burnt oranges, burgundies, greens, mustard yellow and a pop of purple... YES! Purple! (One of our favorite fall colors actually!) ...and to top it all off, her bridesmaids wore navy blue! It sounds like a lot, but it was styled perfectly with mix-matched dresses and shoes! The girls totally rocked it... you'll see! Everything was kept rustic chic all the way down to the brides cowboy boots matching the groom in jeans, vest and tie! Like I keep saying: PERFECTION.

There were so many great moments during their whole day! It was beyond hard to pick our favorite photos, so there's a little more than usual... but thats fine, right?!

Take a look into Whitney and James wedding day:


See! Aren't those colors perfect!? Wait 'til you see it with the bridesmaids dresses! 


"Five little monkey's jumping on the bed... one fell off..."



It was a team effort getting whitney nice and snug into her dress. I don't get to shoot 'getting ready' pictures very often and I will admit that I was surprised at the amount of effort it takes to get a bride ready! Pulling, and tugging, and yanking and tieing... makes me tired just thinking about it!!! 




The first look with Whitney's son was so precious! You can defiantly tell he was so proud to see his mommy all dolled up! That expression on his face melts my heart! 


Equally as precious, the bride and grooms first look! 






Isn't she gorgeous!?




SEE!!!!? The navy blue brought it all together and made a big bowl of perfection soup! And it tasted soooo good though the lens! 


And speaking of team effort... getting James to look a little fiminine with a fun picture with the bridesmaids was an act of congress! 

"Just put your hand on your hip and throw the okay in the air! DO SOMETHING?!"

So. Worth. It. ...and we all got a good laugh.  





This is just one of the ceremony sites at The Royal Ridge Barn, but isn't it to die for?
















Royal Ridge just built a brand-spankin'-new barn! They sure pulled out all the stops on this one! 









And a quick portrait session because the buttery light insisted... I mean, I'm dead. Look. 



Too much butter?! NO! Never! 



Congrats Whitney and James! 

Happy Friday!
