wedding & lifestyle photography
Spring is the perfect time for blogging all of our pretty brides from 2016 – and Veronica is one we have been so excited to show off! I had so much fun with her and her mom during her bridals in Little Rock. She and Kyle celebrated their big day in Conway last fall and we have been loving all of her posts about married life and how happy they are! <3 So thrilled to bring this session to the blog today! Happy Friday!

I had the privilege of photographing engagements for Mary and Chase last week and y’all – Â 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! Â 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!

On this snowy afternoon I am wishing we could go back to where we had pretty summer blooms in season and warm weather! However, this session is a bit misleading because — it was actually raining as I snapped Amanda’s bridal portraits. The Terry House was the perfect spot for us to stay dry but still get that beautiful greenery and natural light in the photographs! I love that it is not even noticeable that it was a little less than perfect weather for these – and I think they still turned out stunning! Of course Amanda is so easy to photograph! So today I will just stay inside in my cozy house dreaming of these beautiful blooms while I sip hot chocolate – yum! Excited to share these! <3

Katie and Brad are such a fun couple! I play bunco with Katie and I was over the moon when she chose us to photograph their wedding! We did a two-part session for this sweet e-session; starting at the Arkansas Travelers stadium in North Little Rock (where Brad works as the Controller for the Travs).We got some adorable shots of these two – dressed in their Travs attire. (Notice the scoreboard has their names on it – how cool is that?!)
We then took a short trip across the river to finish the remainder of their session at the Terry House & outside of the Arkansas State Capitol. We are so excited to celebrate with them in March!
Ps- their session was chosen at Arkansas Bride’s “Best of 2016” in the engagements category! So excited!

Over the past year I have really gotten to know Lauren well through Alpha Tau at UCA – she has served as their president for the last year & I am an alumni advisor, (AST is the sorority I was in while in college). While working so closely with her I have been given the opportunity to see her beautiful heart! She is kind, genuine and beautiful on the inside and out – I just love this girl and can’t imagine life without her now. I don’t know how I went so long without knowing her and calling her a friend. And Heath — although I officially met him at the session, I already love him too because Lauren does! We had so much fun taking these at Belgian Meadows Farm with their fur-baby and we even caught the sunset for some dreamy photos to end the day with. To say I am excited for their wedding next June is an understatement! Can’t wait you two!

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!

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 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!?

We are thrilled to photograph Alexis’ and Chad’s wedding later this year! If it is going to be anything like their engagement session – we know it will be amazing! We loved that she incorporated their sweet horse! Check out this sweet couple!

Y’all! Ashley was stunning! Her location was super special too. The portraits with the painting behind her is actually HER work. She told me that was her last painting as a Jones, which made photographing her bridals in front of it, all the more special. Loving her fur, after all it was a February wedding! Her dress, makeup and hair looked flawless. As I was sorting these for the blog I decided she must be related to Sandra Bullock, right?! Wedding day photos to come! For now here are her Little Rock bridals!

SWOON ALERT!! We are dying to finally share this! We have been waiting because we got the confirmation that it was going to be featured …
This wedding was timeless, full of beauty and classic. We were so blessed to be able to capture this couple from start to finish. From their engagements, to Alexa’s bridals, to wedding day….we have LOVED working with these two. These two tied the knot at the Castle on Stagecoach in Little Rock on November 8th. The castle is so classic and a perfect wedding venue. Check out that DRESS! Ah I am smitten! I fell in love with her dress during her bridals. The detail in the back is just so beautiful. It was SO Alexa, in the most perfect way. We hope you enjoy this wedding as much as we did. It was one of our favorites, EVER! From the guestbook to your exit, it was all perfect! Love you two and blessed to call you two friends! Best of luck on your new journey in your new home in Oklahoma!
Lots of love,
Callie
