Leslie Peters Spurgers | Bentonville, AR Bridals

This girl — she is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. And I am not just saying that as a nice thing to say on my blog. She truly has a heart of gold and her love for the Lord radiates every single time I am around her. She is now my good friend Drew’s sister-in-law and I am truly a little jealous of him because of it. I will never have a sister-in-law because Jaison is an only child; but if I were going to pick one – I would want one like Leslie. While we were taking her bridals a few flowers fell from her bouquet and she went completely out of her way to make sure she gave them to a little girl who was in awe of the ‘princess’ in the white gown — so sweet!

She wore not one dress – but two for her bridals! One was hers and the other was a family heirloom. A 137 year-old dress that her mom, grandma, great-grandma (and maybe even further back) wore. It was originally made from drapes and it was the coolest thing! I loved the photos I captured of her and her mom hugging and laughing at the end while she was in the vintage dress- warmed my heart!

I am so thankful she and Steven chosen Jaison and I to photograph their wedding – and thankful to call them friends.

Wedding photos coming soon; for now here are some of her bridals to tide you over!

ps- you may notice a few photos of four-leaf clovers in her hands; her dad has a special talent — he can spot them out of nowhere! It was so neat and a little crazy! We snapped a few to remember the day!

Mary + Chase | Little Rock, AR Engagements

I had the privilege of photographing engagements for Mary and Chase last week and y’all –  it was the windiest session I can ever recall doing. BUT, despite the crazy wind – I am so in love with these! There were large periods of time where we just huddled together and had to wait it out – not even kidding. They both were patient, so understanding, and we stuck it out and I am so glad we did; because I think we got some amazing shots!

I genuinely enjoyed catching up with Mary. I hadn’t seen her since we graduated from UCA and I loved getting to see her & finally meet Chase! These are moments that I am so glad that Jaison and I chose UCA as our university. No matter how long you go without seeing other UCA Alum. – it is always so easy to pick right back up where you left off.

And last but not least – can we talk about her cute outfits?! I love the green dress sh chose, it was such a good complimentary color for her skin tone and hair! AND, she is just DARLING overall and has such a beautiful smile! Basically, I just think Mary is adorable!  And I know the wind was not in her favor but that hair is still so so gorgeous! I am over the moon excited to share these and I can’t wait until their wedding later this year – I know it will be such a fun time working with these two along the way!

Paige + Matt | Bentonville Engagements

 

We decided to change up our scenery a bit and head to Northwest Arkansas for this sweet couple’s engagement session! Paige is from Conway and Matt is from Louisiana – and the two of them together couldn’t be more perfect. I asked them to share their love story with me so I can submit these photos to Arkansas Bride, and this is what Matt said:

​>>>>>>>>>>Four years ago I met a girl who was out of my league. It wasn’t even a question. She had dark hair, deep brown eyes, and a kind heart (Yes, you can get that last part from just looking at her, I promise). She was way too good for me. I introduced myself and thought that would be the end of it, and it was, for the next two years at least. 

​She ended up moving to the same complex I lived in for my senior year of undergrad at the UofA. I hoped I would get achance to know her and at least be friends. In the back of my mind, I started hoping that someday I might even have a chance to date her, but I still thought those odds were slim to none. We had some overlaps in our friend groups and pretty soon I found myself gravitating towards her every chance I got. I didn’t realize I had feelings for her until the night she wore men’s sweatpants from Wal-Mart and trekked through the fresh snow with me to get a bite to eat, and I had the sudden awareness that there was no one I would rather be with. That feeling hasn’t left me. 

​Some time after that she realized she had the same feeling. That someday I was waiting for had finally arrived. I proposed to Paige this January, and I can’t wait to spend my life with her. So here’s to someday, and every day after that.<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Paige – you have one sweet finance. We love it when a GROOM isn’t afraid to show his true feelings out loud. My heart just melts looking back at these images! And I can’t tell you how much I adore Paige, she is has such a kind personality and I feel like I know her so well already.

I can’t wait for these two to get married – August can’t get here soon enough!

xoxo,

Callie
