Chelsey’s Pratt Place Bridal Portraits

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

We, Chelsey’s parents, Chelsey, and I, shot her bridal portraits just days before her and Caleb were wed on January 7th at Pratt Place Inn.  It was a beautiful day outside!  We had a wonderful time roaming all around the venue and taking beautiful photos!  As we went outside we were even greeted by some furry friends!  I guess they just had to come check out Chelsey’s bouquet, I wonder if they’ve ever eaten a bride’s flowers before?!?!!?!  Wouldn’t that be a hoot!  On to some gorgeous bridals!  Isn’t she just stunning!  Check her out!  Congratulations Chelsey!

 

Enjoy!

Jordan // Fayetteville Bridal Portraits

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Jordan and I went out with her darling friend Chelsea all around Fayetteville for her bridal portraits just days before her wedding.  It was quite cold and a bit windy but we made it though and got some pretty great images to prove it!  Jordan is such a sweetheart!  She is completely full of life and one of those people you are just begging at her feet to be friends with!  She’s a creative spirit who loves photography and painting. Her heart is huge!  She loves animals and has a few rescued pups from shelters.  Her career is all about serving those who need comfort and care as an ICU nurse.  Really…..I’m pretty sure there isn’t anything this girl can’t do!  And I forgot to mention she’s completely gorgeous…….the boy Jordan sure got lucky!

I have seen this ivy covered building a million times and always thought it would make a perfect backdrop someday…..today was finally that day!!!!  So so so glad we used it!  I love how it turned out!

Gorgeous!

Ok I’m not going to fib but the first time Jordan whipped these shoes out I seriously thought it was a bit of a joke.  Cute as they are, I thought these boots were similar to the tradition of making a bouquet out of  all the bows from your shower gifts and using it at the rehearsal dinner, but for a bridal session!  Nope Jordan was very serious about her darling shoes and even wore them during the reception! That’s why she’s so cool!

I just love these black and white images of her!  I think this one on the left is my favorite from the entire shoot!


Enjoy!

Jessica // Springdale Bridal Portraits

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

Jessica has been married for 4 months today!  Happy mini anniversary!  :)  We took these bridal portraits on the east side of Springdale a few weeks before their Pratt Place wedding on June 5th.  I was introduced to this lovely spot via Kate from her birthday session and mother’s day session here.  Jessica had so many cute ideas and I just loved that she brought her journal!

Megan Hayes // Creekwood Garden Bridal Portraits

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Ok ok ok so Megan and I didn’t really have a bridal session but she planned and booked us for enough time on her wedding day at Creekwood Gardens that I had the opportunity to take a couple minutes and snap some images of just her before she and Benton saw each other for the first time!  I know I’ve bragged and bragged about how gorgeous this girl is but seriously……just look at this one!

They had such a beautiful day!  I’m a bit behind on my blogging, I’m going to try to get some previews out this week so stay tuned for more images like this!

Thursday Treats // Amber’s Pratt Place Inn Bridal Portraits

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Amber and Alan were married last weekend so I get to post her bridals now!!!  I have to share this with you……ok remember when I shot their engagement pictures and I asked them how many days left until their wedding and Alan blurted out quickly the exact number of days to go?!?!?!?  If that didn’t impress you…..this will melt your heart……..  Bridals are always hidden from the groom until after they are married so when Amber had ordered a big bridal portrait to put on display at their reception, Alan was blown away!  He came up to me and told me I did a good job!  He’s so adorable!  Good luck you two and congrats!

Monday, July 19th, 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!

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!!!

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.

I love how playful this image is!

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

Tuesday, June 1st, 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!
