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!?

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!

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 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! Â I loved capturing every second of this day !
(and Nelson is pretty great too, haha)

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 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 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!

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!

Kaylee was a stunning southern belle! We have been out of town so much I haven’t had a chance to blog her beautiful bridals since her wedding in late May. I loved this setting for her bridal portraits – the house, the greenery and flowers were all amazing & made a great backdrop for my shots. Just look at that greenery! GORGEOUS!
More to come from their wedding soon! XO!
-Callie
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!

 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!

When Brighton booked her senior session we were SO flattered – this girl and her sweet mom drove 6 hours from Oklahoma to have us take them! We couldn’t believe that she wanted to use us so badly, but we couldn’t be more thankful! A huge thank you to both D1 in Little Rock and the Sherwood Sports Complex for letting us use their facilities. We couldn’t have done this shoot without both of them being so kind to us! We hope your senior year is amazing, Brighton! Thank you for making our whole year by driving so far for this session! We hope you love them as much as we do!

This was such a dreamy bridal session! We went to St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable in Fayetteville for an early sunrise bridal shoot & it couldn’t have been more perfect. We beat the heat and had the dreamiest lighting. This also happens to be my best friend, Abbey. When she wanted to do her bridals with me, I knew the pressure was on! She is now the bride that I am showing off on the blog, this time I am showing off HER photos. She always sits and listens to me showing her photos I have taken of other brides when I am so excited about a recent shoot. This time it was HER in those photos and I wanted it to be perfect! And with the help of some amazing vendors – it was just that! I can’t thank Hayley Roberts enough for perfecting Abbey’s hair and makeup (they woke up at 4 AM to start)! And Anna Rogers with Magnolia Belle Floral in Conway made the most vivid, stunning bouquets and even a flower crown. We all had so much fun with this! Just wait for their upcoming wedding photos that we took in St. Lucia — our first international wedding! We are excited!
XO!

Maggie is a bride that has completely stolen my heart. I first met her before she was engaged to John when I did a shoot for them around Christmas time a few years ago. When they got engaged I PRAYED I would get to work with them again. They are just the sweetest couple and so much fun every time we take their photos. Basically I just love them both so much and their pup, Zeus.
Lets fast forward to her bridals….oh my gosh. Maggie is STUNNING!! And that bouquet was the perfect touch to complete her session! We were blessed with amazing lighting this day and beautiful greenery…basically everything was PERFECT! I am so very excited to show these off, but truly — I didn’t have to work very hard for these shots, Maggie and her sweet friends that came with us made it so easy on me! These are just a preview of what is to come for her wedding day blog post, which was equally as perfect! <3

Sydney and Matt are precious and this is one of our favorite engagement sessions to date! Jaison shot this all on his own and I am loving his film photos scattered throughout the blog post, he did an amazing job with these (plus they are super adorable, right?!) We can’t wait for their wedding this September at Cold Springs in Little Rock. For now we will be swooning over these engagements!
XOXO!
-Callie
I am gushing over these two & how cute they are! I was so tempted to add in all of their silly images to their blog post. John kept Jessica  and I both laughing the entire shoot with his jokes and goofy faces. It was really such a sweet session with two wonderful individuals.
These two recent medical school graduates are moving out of state soon to St. Louis!! I am so happy for them and excited to see where life takes this amazing duo! It will be November before we know it, and they will be back in Little Rock to tie the knot! So excited! Thank you for choosing us to capture your wedding journey, we are excited to work with you both!!
x0x0!
