Ashely Avra // Northwest Arkansas Bridals

July 19, 2010

I couldn’t wait to post these, but now since Ashley and Jim are finally The Clarks I get to share!!! What a wedding last night! (You’ll hear all about it later I promise) For now I’m going to share how beautiful Mrs. Ashley is. Now these are just bridal portraits (taken at The Inn at Carnall Hall) long before the wedding day, and as gorgeous as she is in these photos she unbelievably was far more stunning last night……..must be all those giddy love emotions oh and Jim (that probably had a little bit to do with it!) ;) Enough blabbing let’s see those photos!

Is she not just gorgeous? I love the smile here!!!!

Can you believe her mother made this bouquet for her bridal portraits!?!?!? Well done Mrs. Avra!

I think this one is my favorite!

I love how the lighting captures her beautiful dress!

Adorable shoes!

Great job Jim! This ring is magnificent!

Enjoy!

Claire // Arkansas Bridal Portraits

June 20, 2010

Claire and Aaron are getting married in Jamaica today! I hope the weather there is beautiful! Tanja our associate photographer is capturing their special day over there! What fun! Claire, Tanja, and I went out with Claire’s mom about a month ago to get these beautiful images that I’ve been dying to show you! Congratulations you two!!!

I just love the light in this image!

Isn’t she gorgeous? She got these parasails for Jamaica, I can’t wait to see what Tanja does with them!

Once again I’m in love with that lighting! She looks so beautiful here! I think this is one of her favorites.

Ummmm blue shoes……YES PLEASE! This is too stinkin cute!

I love how playful this image is!

Awwww this reminds me of an old time picture.

Just loving that parasail again!

As if you couldn’t tell by now this image should tell you how laid back and easy going this little lady is. I was freaking out when someone mentioned taking the dress in the creek (since she isn’t married just yet) but Claire just hiked up her dress and walked around. This image is lit so beautifully and shows off Claire’s gorgeousness!!!

Enjoy!

Beautiful Sally // NWA Bridal Portraits

June 1, 2010

Sally and Cole were married on May 22nd so I feel like it’s a good time to get some bridals up of the beautiful Sally! We took these bridals a few weeks before her wedding day and I just couldn’t wait to share them with all of you, but obviously I had too since no one had seen her in her dress yet and we definitely wouldn’t want to risk the chance of the groom to see them either!!! We started shooting in a field of yellow flowers then headed down to Lake Fayetteville to capture some stunning shots there as well! Sally is such a beautiful lady! She recently graduated from grad school(GO SALLY!) and planned a wedding the following weekend…..brave girl! Oh and I’m pretty sure she’s already secured a job as well and started today! CONGRATS!

Keep posted for their wedding images soon!

Enjoy!
