Mary Catherine Rogers King | Little Rock, AR Bridals

On July 1st we traveled a little over nine hours to Kingsport, Tennessee for a beautiful wedding. Mary Catherine and Grant celebrated with family and friends in the Tri Cities area and it was fabulous – those photos are coming soon!

Today we are thrilled to share her bridals – that we took at home in Little Rock, Arkansas at Goodwin Manor (one of our favorite venues)!

Mary Catherine lives in Memphis so when her mom and I started talking about locations for her bridals – I knew Goodwin Manor would be the perfect place. The Goodwin’s are always amazing to work with, and this time was no exception! We can’t wait to share more from their beautiful day!

One of our favorite details from her session is the back of her FABULOUS dress. It is one of the most beautifully detailed dresses we have seen. Classic yet modern. We also are pretty in love with her blue wedding shoes that she borrowed from her sister as her “something blue/something borrowed”!

I have known MC a long time, since high school (and then we both attended college at UCA)! I first met her through a mutual friend – Casey; and I always thought she was absolutely precious. When she contacted us about her wedding – we were praying she would book us! This also meant a trip for me to see my parents, who live only 1 hour from Kingsport. We stayed through the 4th of July and it was an amazing trip! We love East Tennessee; everyone is unbelievably friendly!

Congrats MC! We love you!

Mary Catherine and Grant | Memphis, TN Engagements

Mary Catherine and Grant are tying the knot July 1st in East Tennessee and we can’t wait to travel there for their sweet day. I went to high school and college with MC and working with her has been such an amazing experience. Love the way her engagements turned out – she lives in Memphis currently and I love that she wanted to do them downtown. There are so many aspects of the city showcased in these photos and although it was a chilly January day, you wouldn’t know it by their cozy session! Let the countdown to the wedding begin! Cheers you two!

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.

Magnolia Belle Floral | Conway, AR

When one of your very best-friends is a florist and asks you to come take photos of her pretty creations – of course you do!

Anna, of Magnolia Belle Floral does such amazing work and she is a pleasure to work with; I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I always have brides asking where to go for florals and she is always on my list of recommendations! I just love her and her work!

We had such a fun day eating lunch, talking and playing with flowers a few weeks ago! Here is the aftermath of that day – gorgeous blooms that we are excited to feature on the blog on this gloomy Sunday – giving us inspiration and excitement for upcoming sunny summer days!

Happy wedding season from us and Magnolia Belle Floral!

Brianna Schluterman | North Little Rock, AR Bridals

Brianna and Brandon celebrated their wedding yesterday in Subiaco and I have been patiently waiting for their wedding so I could blog her bridals! And here they are! I am thrilled to showcase these today for all of you to see. She is stunning, y’all! And SO incredibly sweet! She also has THE COOLEST HAIR! Her gorgeous highlights are everything – so in love!

We did the order of her sessions a little different, we shot these before her engagements, (a first for us) just because that is how our schedules lined up. So needless to say, this was our first time to photograph her ever; and it left me so excited for her engagements, which I also love!

Her mother’s vintage gown was a classic vintage touch that added a little something extra to her bridal session. Something I am so glad she decided to do. <3

Wedding photos coming soon!

Katie + Brad Eagle | Little Rock, AR Wedding

So many things that I love about this day – her dresses (yes two) and both were beautiful, her shoes, the cakes, her invites, reception — I could go on and on! Katie and Brad celebrated their big day on March 11th this year. This was our second wedding for the year and what a fun night it was! We started at the Doubletree with getting ready photos with Jessica Humerick doing her makeup, then headed to the Clinton Library for their first look and some photos of Katie getting into her dress – then it came a downpour! Just a little setback; luckily her ceremony location, Levy Baptist Church, was beautiful and we were able to get some beautiful indoor photos! After the ceremony and family photos, we headed back to the Clinton Library for the reception where the party began! Minus the rain – everything was pretty perfect all day! And the rain thankfully held off for their glow stick exit! Katie and Brad – thank you so much for letting Sterling Imageworks photograph you wedding! We love y’all!

Kassi Bruich Caldwell | Little Rock, AR Bridals

This month Kassi and Matt are celebrating their anniversary so we wanted to do a little throwback blog post to her bridal session – a session we have wanted to share for a long time but we have been playing catch-up on our blog! We truly have had so many sessions in the last year; I don’t say that to brag in any way – I just want to explain why we can not blog every single session – but we sure try to share as many as we can!

This is one session that I just couldn’t let slip through the cracks! Kassi was a beautiful bride and even more beautiful on the inside – my favorite kind of person. We have remained friends after wedding planning resumed for her, and I am so excited to coincidentally photograph a family session for her tomorrow! I also loved that Kas wore her mom’s wedding dress in a few photos at her bridal session and at her reception – it was completely redone to make a fun short reception dress while retaining some of the sweet vintage details! Love this girl and this session!

Tanarah Luxe Floral did a fabulous job (as always) on her bridal and wedding day bouquets!

Hannah + Craig | Conway, AR Engagements

We have had more and more high school sweethearts lately and I think that is so sweet! Hannah and Craig have been dating since high school and this winter they will tie the knot officially! They’ll be getting married at St. Joseph in Conway; so it was only fitting to do their engagements in Conway. We had such a great time shoot these for this amazing couple! Can’t wait to work with them throughout their wedding journey!

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!
