Jenna + Joe | Little Rock Proposal

When Joe e-mailed us about his plans to propose we were thrilled! We LOVE proposals and anything involving sweet couples. So we got setup in downtown Little Rock and I pretended to be reading a magazine on a bench by myself with my camera hidden and Jaison was pretending to be taking photos of random things downtown. In the meantime we waited for Jenna and Joe to arrive on their specified bench that Joe picked out earlier that week. He started out with a sweet letter and then popped the question! Everything about this proposal was so sweet and perfect! Then we had some fun and took some fun pictures on top of the parking garage afterward. It was the best day!

Will & Katie | Engaged

So I am pretty obsessed with this session! It couldn’t have went more perfectly. This was the aftermath of all the snow and ice we had and it made for some of the coolest photos that I think we have ever taken. The ones of the ice-cycles hanging under the bridge on the vines – oh.my.word.

Katie and Will are super easy to work with and photograph – so that was a huge plus! We met Katie through the NLR Athletic Club and we have known Will since high school. We are blessed to be able to photograph their wedding this fall and can’t wait to share more of their magic!

Lots of love,

Callie

Paula & Andy | Little Rock Engagements

Paula and Andy are just the coolest couple. I love being around them! From hearing the story on how they started dating to them getting engaged – I just think they’re such neat people! When I met with them the first time I was shocked to hear that Paula knew my childhood friend, Cassie. We were close friends in Virginia, when we both lived there because we were military brats. However, Cassie is from Arizona originally and Paula and her went to college together in AZ. SUCH A SMALL WORLD! It made me feel just a little closer to Cassie when taking Paula’s engagements, which was such an awesome feeling!

These two are going to have amazingly beautiful tall babies (ha, I may be jumping the gun a little) but seriously I love this couple’s height. Something Jaison and I do not possess, haha.

I can’t wait for this wedding – I know it will be wonderful! I just love Paula & Andy so much already, we can’t wait to get to know you even better!

p.s. the snow was just the right touch!

Ashliegh + Cody | Hot Springs Wedding

Ashliegh and Cody probably have one of the sweetest most heartfelt love stories I have ever heard. I feel confident they wouldn’t mind me sharing with you. Shortly after they started dating, both of Cody’s parents passed away in a car accident. Ashliegh never got the chance to meet them. But God knew exactly what Cody would need to get him through the most difficult time in his life – Ashliegh. The wedding was emotional to say the least. I cried when Cody placed the bouquet of flowers on the front pew in the chapel in representation of his parents. Actually I more than cried, along with everyone in the chapel. Which I cry at most things, but this was seriously the most emotional moment I have ever witnessed at a wedding. I am so happy we got to capture this amazing couple’s story from proposal, to bridals and engagements and now wedding day. And I am so excited to be telling their story through these photographs. I know Cody’s parents were smiling down the entire day on these two. It was supposed to rain all day but miraculously a few hours before the ceremony, the sun was shining beautifully. Or should I say the Goffs were shining down on their son and new daughter, because I am confident that is exactly where that sunshine came from. We hope you enjoy looking through this eventful emotional wedding day, these are some of our favorites! Thankful for these new friends of ours!

p.s. – the seashells at the end of the blog post were in Cody’s dad’s pocket when he was found after the wreck, they were returning from the beach. I know those shells will be cherished forever. We were honored to snap a few photos of them!

Lots of love,

Callie

Molly + Clay Parker | Hot Springs Wedding

I usually don’t get so emotional when I write blog posts but this is a wedding that was very near and dear to my heart. Molly is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and I have 110% loved getting to capture her journey with Clay! I have known Molly since 2009 when we were ‘pledge buddies’ in Alpha Tau. I believe I mentioned this in a previous blog post, but every new member (pledge) gets a pledge buddy. Your PB is basically your partner for the pledging semester. I am fairly certain we were paired together because we were both redheads, good choice on our pledge mom’s part. I can say Molly and I got even closer our senior year when we were on the AST Executive board. I am forever thankful for that experience and our friendship.

When she got engaged I prayed we would do her wedding photography and I am SO thankful we got the opportunity. From engagements, bridals to the wedding day this has been an incredible experience. I am not sure I have ever had a bride TRUST us so much with her wedding photography. For that, I am eternally grateful and appreciative. Every step of the way, Molly was encouraging me and constantly telling me how she was so glad she didn’t have to worry about her photos and that she knew they would be perfect. I may be bias, but I think they certainly are PERFECT. Not because of their photographers though, but because this couple has a love so deep it radiates in everything they touch and everything they do. So this may be my longest blog post ever but I literally could not limit this loveliness to a certain number of photos. I didn’t include all the photos that we gave to her and Clay, but I did include over 200 of my favorites. I hope they also become your favorites. With much love I hope you enjoy! Hugs and kisses to my Rwandan friends!

Dustin + Tori | Little Rock Engagements

Dustin has been in my life a looooong time! We grew up with one another and he is probably my longest lasting friend. We will go months without talking but it is the type of friendship where you don’t have to talk everyday but you still have each other’s backs no matter what. He is more like a brother honestly. When I heard he was engaged I was so excited for him! And now that I know Tori, I love her too (maybe more than I like Dustin – just kidding). She is the perfect balance to Dustin, exactly what he needed. And she keeps him in line, which he can be a mess sometimes. Plus she is gorgeous, talk about blonde bombshell!

I am super sad we were booked on their wedding day, not just to photograph it, but just to attend. Dustin was an usher at my wedding a few years back and now I wanted to be there to see him tie the knot! Although I will be photographing another wedding, I will definitely be there in spirit. (I can’t wait to see pics!) I wish you two the best and cheers to many more years of friendship with you both!

ps: aren’t these firefighter shots the cutest?!

Love,

Callie

Leeson Wedding | Little Rock

Kasey and Brent are married at last! These two have the cutest little family. I am in love with Braylon’s sweet faces he made throughout the day (soon cute). Remind’s me of Will Smith’s little boy in the Pursuit of Happiness. I have known Kasey since middle school and it is so rewarding to photograph friend’s weddings. I loved seeing so many faces from high school & even middle school. It was one of the happiest days of their lives and I was honored to capture it for them. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos from their day as much as we enjoyed taking them. Cutest kid award goes to Braylon! 😉

Lots of love!

Kayla Britton | Little Rock Bridals

Now that their wedding has passed we can share Kayla’s bridals! We took these in early January and love the wintery feel they have! Kayla is so easy to work with. She and Bo are seriously two peas in a pod. They’re so kind and caring and want everyone to feel special around them. I am so excited to post their wedding photos in the next few weeks! Enjoy this winter princess!

p.s. It is just a bonus that she is one of my dearest friends! Love you Kayla!

Brandi + John Keith | Conway, AR Wedding

The Keiths are finally on the blog! We have been patiently waiting to finish editing this wedding and we may have even taken a break from our Disney vacation to complete these because we didn’t want to keep them waiting! We didn’t mind at all though because this couple is adorable! Brandi and John tied the knot on October 25th at the Hendrix chapel in Conway. Their reception was held at the Old Gin, also in Conway. Their “first dance” was probably our favorite of all time. It was super fun and cute! Enjoy this sweet couple’s wedding photos, these are our favorites from their big day!

Lots of love for these two!

Ryan & Tiffanee | Little Rock Wedding

We first met Tiffanee and Ryan in Panama City during spring Break a few years back. We became even closer when I was on SOS (Student Orientation Staff) at UCA with Tiff. She is so lively & so much fun! Btw- I am loving shooting my SOS friends lately! If you missed Josh and Kayla’s session you are missing out. But back to Tiff and Ryan… Their wedding at Loft 1023 in Little Rock was so much fun! We loved getting to spend the day with you guys & love you both to pieces!

Congrats to the Millers! #millerinmay

Kayla & Josh | Conway Engagement

I am so thankful to have met Kayla and Josh through SOS (Student Orientation Staff) at UCA. They are two peas in a pod. They’re just so cool to be around and so full of energy! Their shoot down by the Arkansas River could not have been more original. They brought their hammocks, Greek Shirts and SOS shirts because they wanted their shoot to be completely unique and personalized, and it truly was one of a kind. Their hammock shots are some of my favorite photographs that we have ever taken. To top off the day Kayla and Josh knew how cool we thought their hammocks were that they later surprised us with one of our own. Now Jaison and I have a new favorite past-time. We are so bummed that we will be crusin’ (to Jamaica) during their wedding but luckily they have some awesome photographers shooting their big day, who happen to be some of our dearest friends, Kayla and Chris of KB McElmurry. We are so happy for Josh and Kayla and wish these two all the best in their marriage! We love you guys!
