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!

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!



Enjoy!

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!

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!

I was so excited for this wedding because I got to be there from start to finish. I remember the day Erika and I met with them and I looked at Erika and was like she’s going to look gorgeous. She just had this cute outfit on and a little feather head band and I’m a sucker for feathers.
You know those couples where you look at them and you can just tell how in love they are? That is how I would describe Emily and Tim. How Tim looks at Emily is the way every girl dreams to have their prince charming to look at her. You can just tell his heart belongs to Emily and it’s so cute to see how he makes Emily smile her adorable smile.
Their wedding ceremony was held at Chapel on the Creeks in Rogers and reception in the Garden Room off Dickson in Fayetteville.
Such a gorgeous and memorable wedding.
A few of her bridals to start……

See? I told you!

I want a chair like this.
Their first look inside Chapel on the Creeks and the outside photo is below. First look sessions are heavily encouraged when planning a ceremony at sunset so you’ll have time to get some beautiful couples shots!


Her flowers were amazing! I think they may just have earned my favorite wedding day boquets!!!! They were created by ZuZu’s Petals (they never cease to amaze me by their creativity)! They had peacock feathers in them!
I will be posting more tomorrow so be watching out for those!!!! A little suspense never killed anyone!
-enjoy!
