Brittanie | Taylor {Wedding Day}

Hello everyone!

December is just whizzing by for us, as I'm sure it is for all of you! I'm excited about my two week Christmas Vacation from school so I can get the blog all caught up! I have had several posts brewing on the back burner for several weeks now, and Brittanie and Taylor's wedding is one of them! :)

Brittanie and Taylor just happened to get married during the ice/snowpocalypse that we had in Arkansas a few weekends ago. It was a bumpy ride the few days before their wedding and Lance and I were not sure we were even going to get to make it to their Jacksonville wedding! It all turned out just fine and they even got to have snowy pictures!

Here are a few details about their day:

Wedding Dress: Davids Bridal
Bridesmaid Dresses: David's Bridal
Flowers: Double R Florist
Cakes: Patti Cakes Bakery
Tuxes: Men's Warehouse
Ceremony and Reception Venue: McArthur Assembly of God

Here are a few shots of Brittanie's gorgeous bridals that we shot at The Old State House in Little Rock.






Brittanie and Taylor's day was one of the most relaxing and stress free wedding's we have ever been to. Even with all of the disappointments that came with the snow, the two of them were just so happy to be getting married, and it kinda rubbed off on everyone else. :)





















It's almost sad to be finished taking pictures of them. We get kind of attached to couples that we have several sessions with! Can't wait for one year anniversary pictures! (haha)

Happy, HAPPY Friday!

Katie | Lucas {Brayberry Engagements}

Hello everyone!

I hope every body has had an awesome turkey filled Thanksgiving! :) We're still eating on our delicious turkey and I'm pretty sure it gets even better everyday, haha.
We met up with Katie and Lucas right before Thanksgiving break at the beautiful Brayberry Farm. Obviously, everyone knows that we love Brayberry by now. The possibilities are just endless, and that's why we love it so much! :)

Lucas and Katie are homegrown right here in Arkansas! Katie is a Pottsville, AR native and Lucas is from Mt.Home, AR. They are just totally adorable together and are so sweetly in love. We LOVE hearing how people met and fell in love, so Katie has kindly shared their cute "love story" with us. So now we will share it with you, :)

"In 2008, Lucas and I met through mutual friends. His girlfriend was actually on the UCA cheerleading squad with me. We spent the next year running in the same circles, going to the same mixers, and unintentionally spending a lot of time visiting with one another. As many college relationships do, Lucas's relationship ended, as did mine. We became even closer through these break-ups, by being there for one another. Once I moved back to Conway permanently we ended up spending a ton of time together. We even started working together, going to meet and spend time with each others families, and ultimately dating, but calling it friendship. Eventually I got a new job, and Lucas and I stopped spending much time together, both being so busy with our lives. We stayed connected through Lucas's roommate at the time, who was a mutual friend. I knew I had feelings for Lucas, and knew he had feelings for me, but the timing just couldn't line up. We tried dating once again, but just couldn't get it to work, with my long nights managing a restaurant, and Lucas working a 8-5 office job. In March of 2012, I texted to Lucas to see how he was doing, and things sparked up. We started slowly spending time together, not really doing anything but catching up at my house. Come July, I asked Lucas to go out with me on a double date for my birthday. From that night forth we were inseparable. We spent almost everyday with one another and the relationship naturally bloomed. I had never been happier, and I could tell he felt the same. Things became even easier once I got a new job at the UCA Athletic department, being able to spend more evenings together. We were quick to say "I love you" but it was easy saying it to someone who I had already considered my best friend."

And they lived happily ever after! :) 

So sweet right?? We have been dying to get their session posted this week because it turned out so amazing! 
See for yourself: 























We're so excited about their May 2014 wedding!!! :) 

Happy, Happy Saturday everyone!

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!
