St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable // Fayetteville Wedding Photographer

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

I met Amanda, her makeup artist, close friend, mother, and brother at the hotel to snap some getting ready shots.  It was simple and laid back the entire time which would lay the foundation for the remainder of the day.  Amanda looked absolutely stunning!  Her gown was altered to create a custom look that complimented her personality quite well.  We did have a rain threat for the ceremony but it always seems that the big guy upstairs is always looking down on our wedding couples.  After the preparations were ready we headed to the adorable Bell Gable Chapel located in Fayetteville, Arkansas where Amanda and Steven saw each other for the first time.  The first look always makes for the best first sight pictures!  I just love that one of Steven’s first sight of Amanda!  Too sweet!  The two walked hand in hand down the aisle past a select group of close family and friends.  Unfortunately Steven’s parents were unable to attend due to health issues but that didn’t stop them from enjoying the ceremony from Little Rock, as Amanda’s brother set up a streaming video that played during the ceremony.  He played a big roll for them that day by sealing them together as husband and wife.  Amanda and Steven both wrote their own vows, it was so intimate that she got a little choked up and they turned together to read her vows to him.  I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd, and I’ll bet in Little Rock too!  Amanda and Steven are such great people and in the short time that I’ve got to know them I can tell they are meant for each other.

Evelyn // Fayetteville High School Senior Portraits

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Evelyn is a very creative and inspired gal.  I met Evelyn about a year ago while working at Forever 21.  She was the girl who introduces herself really quickly to you and just welcomes you as part of the family.  She was my go to girl if I didn’t know where something went or how to do something, she seriously knew everything.  I’ve learned a lot about Evelyn and the amazing young lady that she is.  She can be pretty feisty at times and then turn around the next moment and be the most gorgeous soul that ever walked the Earth.  She really is a doll and has some big dreams that I hope to see happen in her life.  She wants to open a restaurant/coffee shop/art gallery one day.  I hope that day happens soon, it sounds like a really cool place to hang out!  Evelyn and I have become pen pals at work and we like to exchange little love notes.  Most of her notes include how pregnant I am and that she loves it, but most of mine include comments about how beautiful she is.  She has just a lovely face and a wonderful smile.  She’s always happy and lightens up the store when she arrives, she’s one of those girls that you just love to be around.

Congratulations Evelyn on making it to this point in your life.  This is a big new step in the direction of better things to come.  I hope that you document your feelings and everything about graduation, you’ll love to look back at this time later in your life and enjoy recounting these times!  Best wishes and Good Luck!

Meet Jamie and Miller…

Jamie and Miller will be getting married on December 31st!  I had the pleasure of shooting their engagement session last week!  They are so cute together and we had a blast noticing anything that had to do with a heart!  They really were up for anything and it was so fun to watch them interact and embark on a new step in their relationship.  Jamie definitely finds comfort in Miller’s arms….which makes for some great photos!!!  We met up at a little gas station in Goshen and then sorta wandered around town and hopped in the car to stop off at an old tree farm to finish up the session with some awesome fall foliage!

I can’t take credit for this shot, but Jamie’s idea was awesome!  Check her ring out….isn’t it gorgeous!
