Alison | Will {Arkansas Engagement}

Hey Everyone!

We have been absolutely swamped, and trying to keep our neck above water has a whole new meaning! Hours and hours and HOURS everyday are spent sitting at this computer knocking out sessions and mailing them out to clients! We appreciate you patience and understanding!

BUT, as for today, we have the GORGEOUS Alison and her Fiance, Will! They were incredible during their shoot! I don't know if i have every laughed as much or as HARD as I did with these two! I think we did more laughing than we did shooting! Their precious puppy's joined us during there shoot, and the newest little baby puppy is absolutely everything! Soooo precious!

Alison and Will are getting married in Cozumel! Destination weddings are so fun and we are so happy for them! We wish these two the absolute best! They're so stinkin' cute!

Here's a look into their outdoorsy engagement shoot... complete with bonfire, smores, flannel, antlers, and of course TRUE LOVE! *SWOON*

Enjoy!

Happy Friday! 

Marisa | Forrest {Mt. Nebo Engagements}

Hello everyone,

Ahh, the weekend. Saturdays are for sleeping late, staying in your PJs, and eating breakfast that doesn't come in a package.   OH, and blogging! :) We haven't blogged in a few weeks because we've been swamped with family photography, and we typically only blog wedding stuff.

Speaking of wedding stuff, Marisa and Forrest are GETTING MARRIED! :) We are so excited about their 2014 wedding, and we are so excited about their adorable e-sesh from last Sunday on Mt. Nebo. We previously had to cancel their session because of rain, and all of the forecasts called for horrible weather last Sunday. It turned out to be one of the prettiest days of the year! I'm so glad they had perfect weather, they deserved it.

They brought along their furry babies for the shoot! Animals are always interesting to photograph but these were SUPER interesting! The two dogs easily weighed over 200 lbs put together, but they were both so lovable and adorable! Take a look for yourself:

Marisa and Forrest are just as cute without their sweet animals too :) 

Can anyone say "ring envy"??? Ahh!!! 

I'm sure 8-30-14 can't get here soon enough for these love birds! :) 

Happy, Happy Saturday everyone! 

Miranda | Brandon {Engagements}

Happy rainy Saturday everyone!

I love all of these summer thunderstorms that have been floating through this week, although they did kind of mess up some of our plans. (While writing this it started to pour, and I suddenly realized my bathing suit that I've been trying to drip dry since Wednesday was still out on the porch. Needless to say I am now soaked and cold and my bathing suit's in the dryer. :/ )
BUT, it is always nice to have rain in the summer, and it is always so cozy. :) Makes me want to cuddle up and edit 500 photos (haha).

Some photos that we recently have had the privilege to edit are those of Miranda and Brandon's. This past Tuesday we had a BLAST hanging out with these two old friends. Miranda, Lance and I all went to Pottsville High School together and we all hung out with the same group of friends. Mandy (as we call her) has always been a great friend, and it was so much fun meeting her new fiancé and catching up a bit. Those of you who know Mandy know that she is such an incredible person with an incredible story.

We started their engagement shoot at good ol' Potts Inn, and from there we visited an AMAZING historic house on Front Street in Dardanelle, AR. Dr.Worley, who owns the house, from ATU is a family friend of Mandy's and was kind enough to let us shoot in his amazing backyard. We finally ended the shoot at the Arkansas River sand bar. :)

Enjoy!

AHHHH! Mandy you are so GORGEOUS!!!!!! :) 

So sweet! :)

Happy, Happy Saturday everyone!

Taylor | Dalton {Engagements}

Hello everyone and HAPPY WEEKEND!

Engagement sessions are absolutely one of the best things about being a wedding photographer! If you are considering having wedding photos taken and are not sure about having engagement photos, let me encourage you...HAVE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS! (haha) Engagement photos are a great way to get comfortable with your photographer which eliminates added stress on your BIG day! :)

We were so happy when Taylor and Dalton contacted us about their wedding photography. They are both from our hometown (Pottsville) and we have kept up with them through social media for several years. They met when they were in 9th grade and then became high school sweethearts. They are very down to earth and laid back. We had such a great time with this sweet, sweet couple, and the amazing Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch made a beautiful backdrop for their love story.

 I don't know why, but I absolutely LOVE ring shots (and Lance is always so good at them) 

 An antique cooler calls for antique effects :) 

 Taylor you are so gorgeous!! 

We cannot wait for Taylor and Dalton's wedding on Petit Jean this fall!! :) 

Happy, Happy Saturday!
