Hey there ladies and gents! :) Claire and Aaron were also married on Father’s Day just like another one of my latest wedding couples! How in the world did we manage that? Well in case you didn’t know we’ve got ourselves a little staff over here at Erika Dotson Photography and even if your wedding day is already booked with us we can still accommodate you! :) That makes us all happy right?!?!!?
I met Claire and Aaron for the first time at Panera Bread where her Father slipped in and paid for everyone’s meal right under my nose! Thanks Claire’s dad! When we originally met it was known that they were going to get married at Sandals and that a photographer came with their wedding package, well apparently Claire and Aaron didn’t like the idea of not hiring their own photographer…….we bent the rules just a bit. It was made known that if you had a friend that also happened to take pictures they would be allowed to shoot during the wedding as well. So that’s just what we decided to do become “Best Friends”!!! Well later down the road we found out we would be having a baby and that I wouldn’t be able to travel to Jamaica….. 
as you can imagine I was bummed! But Tanja was lucky enough to get to go and capture some amazing photos for them! Claire and Aaron are such a sweet couple and it’s been really fun to get to know them as a couple and as individuals! We wish you the best together for many happy years!
This will be part one of Claire and Aaron’s wedding photos……
See what she had to say (she’s already gotten to see all these Jamaica ones!):
“I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE our pictures!! I am so excited to get them. Thank you so much! I cant wait to see more… let me know what all i need to do!!” - Claire Williams
We’ll start as always with some getting ready shots! I love these!
“Something Old”
I love this dress shot!
These monogrammed robes are a super cute idea for your bridesmaids! SPA time!!!!
What a beautiful day!!!!
Yes they brought this sand all the way back to Arkansas……how awesome is that!?!!?!?
I love how the officiant is clapping! It makes me happy to see his huge grin while they seal it with a kiss!
LOVE!
She caught this while they were waiting around for the sunset for some beautiful couple portraits coming up!
Love this angle and the coloring!
This may just be my favorite shot of the whole day!
Yummy sunset lighting!
Gorgeous girl!
Adorable…..again.
I just love the simplicity of this cake…….it helps too that orchids are my favorite!
The look on Aaron’s face is priceless to me, he adores her and you can see it here!
Claire and her Father have a pretty close relationship I’ve learned, that’s why I love this image!
Keep posted for more images from Claire and Aaron’s ceremony here in Fayetteville!
Enjoy!
