Groomsday | Gift Ideas

Many grooms struggle with ideas for their groomsmen gifts — groomsday has a really awesome collection for gift ideas and we are so excited to share this line with you all!

The cooler is such a great idea and something that your guys will continually use! Think a day on the lake, at the beach, pool, or even on a short hike. This cooler is ROOMY! We filled it almost half full with 5 bottles to test it out and look how much room is left! And the coolest part to me – it has its own bottle opener! We really loved the green color. It is also offered in navy! This is something event the ladies can enjoy!

My husband ordered this dopp kit in black – which also comes in multiple colors. It will be perfect and something he will use every time we travel. The monogramming adds a personalized touch that I think adds just a little bit of a unique factor.

To top it off the company was really great to work with, had a very fast shipping turnaround and the items truly are good quality products that will last.

They even have a women’s line! Check out their awesome products – from glasses to overnight bags, we really love this line!

Hannah + Craig | Conway, AR Engagements

We have had more and more high school sweethearts lately and I think that is so sweet! Hannah and Craig have been dating since high school and this winter they will tie the knot officially! They’ll be getting married at St. Joseph in Conway; so it was only fitting to do their engagements in Conway. We had such a great time shoot these for this amazing couple! Can’t wait to work with them throughout their wedding journey!

Kaylee + Dakota Weatherly | Roland, AR Wedding

Kaylee and Dokota’s wedding looked like something out of a southern wedding magazine! She looked like a princess and this was such a special week for her family! This doubled as the week that her niece was born, sweet Charlee made her arrival at the perfect time to take part in the wedding festivities! We got to do sweet Charlee’s newborn photos shortly after this day, getting the opportunity to work with this amazing family once again!

We couldn’t be more happy to have amazing clients live the Harrison & Weatherly families! I love how happy these two were to see one another during their first look — and Jaison captured it perfectly! Check out all of her gorgeous wedding attendants, the bridesmaids dresses are some of my favorites of all time & that color scheme was amazing with the florals! Another favorite thing of ours from this wedding was the CAKE! The cake is a gorgeous strawberry naked cake and it photographed so well! Check out Dakota + Kaylee’s sweet summer wedding on the blog today! We love you two!

Amanda + Hayden | Little Rock, AR Wedding

We didn’t know Amanda and Hayden before booking their wedding but we fell so in love with their personalities along the way. The way they laugh with one another is so touching to watch – you can see exactly what I am talking about in their first look photos; their reactions during the first look are something else!

Amanda is a planner by nature and I knew everything she touched regarding her wedding would turn to gold, everything was so autiful! From her makeup, to her florals – this wedding and the bride were both gorgeous! And their families – we LOVED their families, they made us feel so appreciated and we can’t thank them enough for that. Check out their June wedding! We are in love!

Kelsey + Nelson Ingle | Little Rock, AR Wedding

Kelsey and Nelson’s day was so special and I am thrilled I was able to be a part of it! I remember meeting Kels at a coffee shop last year and instantly just loved her! She is so fun and someone I love to be around! I am so thankful that we have become friends after she chose Jaison and I as her wedding photographers – and I am so glad that she did choose us! This is a reason I love my job so much, making real connections with brides that often become my friends after their big day has come and gone. I love that we often have weekly dates to go eat dinner with one another and couldn’t be more thankful for a bride like this special lady! I loved capturing every second of this day !

(and Nelson is pretty great too, haha)

Maggie Ried + John Teed | Little Rock, AR Wedding

Maggie and John are some of my favorite clients, ever! Maggie was always sending me the sweetest notes and texts when we were in the pre-wedding phase and that girl always just makes my day! I love how these two have such genuine love for one another – and it shows.

I have loved working with them – they even did a Christmas shoot with me BEFORE they were engaged when they got their first puppy, Zeus! I know that we will be photographing these two for years to come (I know because Maggie told me in a sweet note she wrote me!) And that makes me SO EXCITED! I love these two and I am so happy I am able to show them off on the blog this evening!

(p.s.- check out her killer shoes – LOVE!)

XO you two!

Tara Anglin + Daniel Wright | Hot Springs, AR Wedding

Tara and Daniel – oh my gosh THIS DAY! It was even more beautiful looking back than I remembered. I remember thinking as I was shooting this – everything is going so well and how beautiful everything was.

From both getting ready locations – to the ceremony location at the Hamp Williams Building in Hot Springs, everything looked like it was straight out of a magazine!

& These two are gorgeous right?! And I don’t think I am being biased here (Tara is my big from our sorority in college, a dear friend of mine, and she was a bridesmaid in our wedding, XO!) But really, everything was so amazing for their May wedding. I shouldn’t be surprised though, everything Tara does is so well thought out and planned, there was no way it couldn’t have been gorgeous! SO excited to share these images from their big day! Enjoy!

Lots of love for these two!

-Callie

Margo + Christian Biggs | Little Rock, AR Wedding

Margo and Christian are two of the kindest and cutest people ever, y’all! They were the most laid back couple and we loved every second that we got to work with them. Christian is in the military and I loved that Margo wanted to carry the American theme throughout their wedding photos. We incorporated the flag into their engagements, her bridals and even their sweet wedding day (check out this EXIT, swooooon – it was perfect!

Their wedding took place at a beautiful church in Little Rock and their reception was held in downtown Little Rock at the Albert Pike Hotel. It was our first time to take photos at Albert Pike and we really loved the elegance of this historic building. Check out their sweet day!

Braden Vaughn & Julie Paladino | Salus, AR Engagements

I didn’t forget about this session–it is one of my favorites! I am FINALLY catching up on blogging and getting to share some fall engagements! I took these last fall on Julie’s grandfather’s land in Salus, AR – which is located in the Ozark National Forest. We had a great time exploring and we even recreated a few poses of JFK and Jackie Kennedy! I loved that Julie loves black and white photos just as much as we do – so we made sure to give her a good variety of beautiful black and white choices! We have so much love for these two! We can’t wait to share their wedding images, coming soon to the blog!

Payne Harding & Leah Yeager | Little Rock, AR Engagements

When I met with Leah I just loved her! We shot their engagement party back in April and we got to meet all of their friends and family while they celebrated their engagement. She and Payne met when she was working at Cache’ in the River Market. He is the Chef there, and I loved when Leah had the idea to do a few of their photos in the garden on the Harding family farm. We wanted to incorporate a unique element to their photos – and I think that was the perfect touch. The farm was the perfect setting; beautiful greenery, a cute wooden fence, a lake, a dock, and even a precious chapel that we used in the background for a few photos – we were in photographer Heaven with all of the options.

Afterwards we went to an overlook in Little Rock to shoot some images with the city in the background, I am in love with the shots with the Little Rock skyline. This was an early morning session but they didn’t let the early day stop them from rocking each pose and having fun. We love this couple & we can’t wait to capture their wedding day next April! Congrats you two!
