Sara and Blake // Camping Themed Engagements from an Arkansas Engagement Photographer

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Sara and Blake were referred to us by the lovely London and Darren who will be getting married in 70 days!!! When I met with Sara and her mother they told me they had already hired another photographer and had engagements (which obviously they didn’t like hence I took new ones), they didn’t like that they weren’t personal to them.  Soooo I had Sara and Blake fill out a questionnaire that I use to get to know my clients a little bit better and provide truly original and personal images.  Sara mentioned a few things to me that we incorporated into their session, but for now we’ll focus on their love for the outdoors.   While we were setting up this shoot (more on that later) Sara mentioned to me that they had plans to actually go camping in a few weeks!  How perfect!!!!

Enjoy! -erika

Oh you gotta have lemonade to make the wedding complete!!!

Lemonade
From Martha Stewart

3 cups lemon or lime juice, about 20 lemons or 25 limes freshly squeezed
2 cups superfine sugar
4 cups cold water
4 cups ice
2 lemons or limes, thinly sliced for garnish

1. Into a large serving container, strain the citrus juice, mix it with sugar, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

2. Add 4 cups cold water and stir again until well combined. Add ice to fill and a few lemon or lime slices.

And of course you gotta have a yellow tie to coordinate!

I’m thinking the tie would look best with a grey tux!

Instead of one big wedding cake you could offer cute little pies or cakes displayed at various heights to add interest!

These would be a good addition to the church doors.
