Regan + Cory | Little Rock, AR Engagements
We are throwing it back to Regan + Cory’s Little Rock engagement session because they celebrated their WEDDING DAY this past Saturday and it was AMAZING! These two are so much fun and just the kindest, most complimentary couple! Regan constantly told us how thankful she was, which really meant so much to us. They both really made our job super fun and we have loved getting to call them our clients! Wedding photos coming soon but these may tide you over for just a bit! <3

Cara Erwin Schaefer | Little Rock, AR Bridals
Happy Sunday! Today Cara is flying out of the country for her honeymoon with Boyd; and that means I am allowed to share her bridal portraits! Yay!
We had such a fun time with her mom, sisters and bridesmaids during this session. We all laughed so much and Cara looked like a true princess – it was a perfect day! This girl shines inside and out, and her family is so kind. It was a joy getting to work with them.
Their wedding yesterday was also so wonderful! Rain was originally predicted all day, but it held off until we got to the indoor reception in the evening, so we were able to get a lot of amazing photos outside with her and Boyd, as well as the bridal party – we can’t wait to edit them and show them off! For now, I will share her sweet bridal session that we did at the Terry House! These white blooms only pop up for a very short time each year, for about 2 weeks and we timed these perfectly to capture them for her session.

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! Check out Dakota + Kaylee’s sweet summer wedding on the blog today! We love you two!

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! Â 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!

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!)

Kaylee Harvison Weatherly | Little Rock, AR Bridals
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!

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!

Brighton Gilbert | Oklahoma High School Senior
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!
<3 Callie and Jaison
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
Jessica + John | El Paso, AR Engagements
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!

Kayla + Bo | Little Rock Wedding
This wedding was many firsts for us! Our first wedding to have a groomsWOMAN, our first wedding on my birthday (I am sure there will be many more), our first wine box ceremony, our first exit with fake snow, our first wedding with an ice sculpture and our first market place catered wedding (which was DELICIOUS)!! This was such a fun time. We love Kayla and Bo and have loved capturing every second of their journey. From Engagement photos…where her engagement ring fell in the river (yep, you heard that right)….we got it back. Thank God! To her gorgeous bridals, to the wedding day…everything was perfect. Loved the idea of saving the newspapers from the wedding day – so unique! We hope you love this winter wonderland wedding! I couldn’t have spent my birthday with better people, happy to share my day with y’all from now on. ps: I will always remember your anniversary 😉
Love y’all,
Callie 
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!
