Kaitlin + Nash | Great Gatsby Themed Wedding – Hot Springs, AR

Kaitlin and Nash got married this past October, near Halloween, and instead of a traditional Halloween themed wedding – they had something a little different in mind. Great Gatsby was a reoccurring theme from their day; from the bridesmaids dresses, accessories, and reception decor – everything looked like it was right out of the 1920s.

We loved that they had a unique element to their ceremony – the blessing of their rings by all in attendance. We have been photographing weddings since 2010 and we have never seen this done, and we loved it. The ceremony took place at Anthony Chapel in Garvan Gardens and we headed to The Arlington Hotel in downtown Hot Springs for their reception. The groom’s cake had a topper that Kaitlin handmade with modeling cay for his favorite band, the Grateful Dead. They danced the night away and departed with a sparkler exit. We loved capturing these sweet moments!

Amanda + Zac | North Little Rock, AR Engagements

Amanda and I go way back – but we just didn’t really get the chance to know one another until Jaison and I became her and Zac’s wedding photographers! My dad and Amanda’s uncle have been in the same circle of best friends since high school. I have always grown up with Greg and my dad being friends – and apparently Amanda and I played together a few times when we were little, we just didn’t remember it. Since we have reunited – I can’t tell you how precious I think she is. So sweet and kind, I just love her! I am so glad that we get to experience this journey with her, capturing such special moments for her and Zac. These two are awesome – and I love Zac’s cool socks! 😉

Although it rained on us at the end – I would say this session was still amazing and so much fun! Cheers! We can’t wait to get to know you two even better over the next several months!

Taylor + Alex | Little Rock, AR Wedding

Taylor and Alex tied the knot at the Castle on Stagecoach on October 1, 2016 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Taylor, a writer, who just finished grad school in New York City – knew she wanted to do a medieval themed wedding – complete with historic elements from medieval times.

Her bouquet was complete with a hilt as the “stems” — something only Tanarah Luxe Floral of Little Rock could execute. The florals were so extravagant – in colors that screamed royalty. The ceremony took place in front of a large hanging circular arrangement that made the perfect backdrop for their celebration. The bride entered the ceremony in a horse drawn carriage with her dad, it looked like a true fairytale.

The family crest hung above the custom dance floor that displayed the groom’s last name. The cake was beautifully handcrafted by Natalie Madison Artisan Cakes of Little Rock — the crest on the front was completely done by hand.

The invitations mimicked a vintage scroll invitation – complete with clipart of the castle.
The guest book had a vintage feel and resembled a storybook — the guests signed with a quill and a genuine bottle of ink.

The dress Taylor chose looked like a ballgown fit for a queen and Alex was charming in his navy tux. Everything was wonderful! Capturing this wedding was such a joy!

Leslie + Steven | Conway, AR Engagements

Fall sessions are probably our favorite! Especially when they involve a couple as sweet as Steven and Leslie! Leslie went to school at UCA, where we met her through SOS (student orientation staff  – which we take photos for every August and spend an entire week documenting their welcome week adventures at UCA)  and we loved her automatically! And Steven, he is such an upstanding guy, and just awesome!

Basically we are totally crushing on this couple and we aren’t even afraid to admit it! Their outfits, that emerald green shirt with her hair — perfection! We can’t wait for their wedding next April in NWA! Love you both to the moon! <3

Margo Biggs | Little Rock, AR Bridals

As I was going through my list of things to blog, it blew my mind that I had not blogged these yet! Margo was such a dream to work with! I have said it once, and I will keep saying how thankful I am to have worked with her. And she is such a stunning little thing with a contagious smile, you can’t help but just love her! These are long overdue, but I was blessed with some free time before today’s wedding to catch up on some blogging! We have so much to share – and this winter it is my goal to catch up on sharing our beautiful clients  with the world! <3

DeAnna + Vince | Little Rock, AR Engagements

DeAnna + Vince are celebrating their wedding day today! DeAnna and I went to high school together, and were on the same dance team. I have know her for a very long time & I could not be more happy that she has found Vince. They are a perfect match! I can’t wait to celebrate with them today at Noah’s in Little Rock! Here are a few of their engagement photos to start our day off on the blog celebrating this precious couple!

PS- Aren’t their fun mugs & t-shirts so cute!?

Autumn + Collin | Little Rock, AR Engagements

Today Autumn and Collin are tying the knot! So we thought today would be a perfect day to show off their engagement session from this summer! These two grew up together and it was so obvious how in love they were when I was clicking away! Collin was dying from the heat, poor guy, but he was such a trooper.

I just loved their hearts and has a blast hanging out with them! Today we are so excited that they chose Sterling Imageworks to capture their wedding in Roland, AR – we know it will be perfect!

Andddd, these two do CrossFit, so that pretty much won us over from the start! We are hoping they come workout with us soon! Congrats you two! So much love!

-Callie and Jaison

JB + Carsyn | Little Rock, AR Engagements

Oh my gosh – these two! JB and Carsyn’s fall session may have been warmer than a typical fall engagement session, but that didn’t stop them from looking absolutely adorable. JB and I went to college together; but I met Carsyn for the first time at this session, and I can totally see why she won JB’s heart – she is darling! I instantly clicked with her and it made me even that more excited for their wedding next summer! So excited for these two!

PS – and they have the cutest hashtag ever #makeitrainwater

Kendra + Steven James | Mayflower, AR Wedding

Kendra and Steven are two of the kindest souls. This was a bride that started out as a friend, but we grew even closer as we worked together. She is fun, always laughing and has the sweetest spirit. Steven matches her just the same! From eating ice cream during their engagement photos all the way to the big day – we had a blast. We couldn’t be more blessed to call these two our friends! Cheers!

XO!

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!

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!

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!

Basic Invite | www.basicinvite.com

We are thrilled to reveal a special little project we have been working on! We wanted to bring some invites to our blog to help our brides and grooms with selecting the perfect invite! Basic Invite, located in Utah, is one of our favorite invitation companies. They offer almost an unlimited number of opportunities to customize their invite templates, from every little element on each invite – they are FULLY customizable! And they offer over 200 wedding invitation sets! The sets can be purchased along with save-the-dates, bridal shower invitations, thank you cards, direction cards, RSVP cards, and more!

You can find everything from save the dates to wedding invitations and enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs and even matching thank you cards to finish it off!

As I was ordering samples, I was thinking to myself, gosh I wish I would have known about this three years ago when Jaison and I got married. Although the wedding ship has sailed for me, I will be placing an order through Basic Invite for holiday cards later this year! And for our brides and grooms, we want to share the love and tell you about this amazing company!

Like I said earlier, the website offers almost 100% customization for any of their invites – this amazed me. Not only could I change fonts, but the color options on their color palette were ENDLESS! There are over 160 color choices to choose from that can be used for the invite itself, the ink for the names of the couple, design elements and more. For someone who has a background in design, this was a dream come true. AND as a visual person, the option to view the customization that I added to each piece of stationery, really helped me visualize exactly what it would look like before I ordered my samples. The changes I made were available immediately, so I could preview them with just a click of a button. We love the Gold Scrolls Foil Wedding Invitation set, (this is the blue set you will see in the photos below). The gold foil accents are so beautiful and really add a little something extra to this set of stationery. We also chose the Illustrated Corner Wreath Foil Wedding Invitation, that we customized; as well as the Floral Celebration Wedding Invitation – which we loved the look of this so much already, we didn’t customize a thing for this one!

When ordering wedding invitations in large quantities, it can be scary to commit to an invitation without seeing it in person. Personally, I like to hold it, and I enjoy checking out the details from the paper all the way down to the foil stamping. Basic Invite allows you to order samples! The samples I ordered arrived promptly and were in the cutest packaging (you can see their cute folder that they package with their samples in the first photo below). There was a lot of great literature and additional samples including some of their color option samples as well as types of cardstock that is available.

Basic Invite is also just as colorful with their envelope choices as they are with their color options for their invitations! The envelopes are eye catching and thankfully, they are peel and seal; meaning that you don’t have to lick 500 envelopes! (yuck!)

Now go check out them out at Basic Invite.com and get started customizing your perfect wedding invitation today (or baby shower invitation, thank you cards or even Christmas cards!)

(Feel free to follow them on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!)

Sayre Upton | Scott, AR Bridals

I know, I know….I say it A LOT — but, I think THESE little photos are up there with my favorite photos of all time. Sayre is STUNNING, right?! And the venue at Marlsgate was pretty amazing.  To top it off her bouquet, hair and makeup were perfect. The only drawback was the swarm of misquotes — but hey, we can live with that in exchange for this amazing session! Sayre and Trevor were married last Friday and we could’t wait to get this gorgeous girl up on our blog! I love that Greek Life and SOS at UCA brought us together. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter bride. She was constantly telling us how thankful she was for Jaison and I; and we feel the same about her and Trevor. We are so excited to see where life takes these two and we genuinely loved every single minute of working with them. Check out her lovely session!

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!
