I just realized I missed a blog post!!! Well as they say “better late than never”!
McKinzie and Alex were married at the beautiful outdoor reception location also known as the Botanical Gardens. They had such a gorgeous elegant wedding!!! I just loved all their colors!!!
These guys planned their wedding to end during the sunset so they opted to do a first look. I can’t stress enough how excited I get when my clients go this route!!! Honestly it just makes for a much smoother day! You get everything done and over with (except family portraits usually those are after), you can get to your guests more quickly, you don’t feel pressed for time, as well as you get yummy lighting.
Did I mention how beautiful Botanical Gardens is yet?!?!?!
What about how gorgeous McKinzie and Alex are? Did I mention that yet!?!?!?!?
I think this is my favorite image from their wedding!!! It’s so sunny and fun!
Mostly showing this image for the result……
I LOVE it!!!! :) He’s super stoked to get that garter!!!
I love how unscripted this image is!!! They were really into that “get low” song. I’m pretty sure McKinzie’s reaction is that of surprise that Alex could “get low”!!!!
What a precious moment. I love his grin!!!! I love the motion! I love the black and white! LOVE IT!
And finally how could you have an Arkansas wedding without callin those hogs?!?!!? Woooo Pig Suey!!!! Thanks to MS SoundWorks for keeping the party alive! Another must have at a wedding if you plan on having dancing is a DJ or even a live band, but they sure to make your reception run much more smoothly!!!

Hey, Erika! I checked it out, and I gotta say you are a truly, totally awesome photographer. I love that you don’t just take the pictures of the people. You use a photographer’s best friends: light, space, movement, etc. You’re great! I think my faves are the two dancings. They’re so entertaining! They’re a good looking couple, and you bring that out even more. Good job.
