{Jacob + Jessica are Married! / Eureka Springs Wedding}

What a beautiful afternoon! Yesterday, Jacob & Jessica exhanged their vows and the breathtaking Crescent Hotel in Eurkea Springs. Thankfully, the rained stayed away and the day was perfect. I met Jessica in the bridal salon as they were wrapping up her make-up. So pretty!

She also reserved the Bridal Salon to get ready in - I loved the soft drinks on a silver platter.

I was completely taken with her flowers........simple Baby's Breath with a beautiful wrap. I absolutely loved them!

First Look!

Such a sweet and beautiful group of girls!

Handsome guys as well!

This is probably one of the funniest ongoing moments of the day......seems that no one remembered........socks? Loved it!

THAT kiss! :)

Such a beautiful day! Jacob {or, should we call you Jason? ha!} and Jessica - my very, very best to both of you! I wish you my very best!

{i do - take II}

Not the marriage....

but, the pictures. ;)

These are dear friends of ours and like so many {me being at the top of the list!} found her wedding pictures a little less than desired. So, she decided she wanted to get back in her beautiful dress and have J get back into a tux {monkey suit according to J} and have some taken that she had wished she had had the first time around.

It was a great evening {despite the fact I fretted all day about the rain and the wet fields} and here is a small sneak peek into a few we got tonight. I am hoping these were more of what she had in mind....

oh, and for the record....I was not the first photographer {wink!}

Of course, the pictures are compressed and resized for the blog.....but, wanted to give you a glimpse! Hope you enjoy these........

And, one more thing........total kudos to Justin!

{kevin & elissa / springdale, ar engagement}

Oh, I cannot wait for this wedding! Last night I got to meet Kevin and Elissa and they are so fun and so precious! Their love story is so sweet - one that I can totally relate to! I piled them in with me and we hit as many locations as we could before we exhausted the sun. Their wedding will occur in 3 weeks at a beautiful barn in Gravette, Arkansas. It will be very southern, and very vintage....so excited!

Kevin & Elissa, here are a few of the many we took, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek. It was great to finally meet you.....

{LOVE this family}

All I can say is that four years ago when I took their first portraits....I truly came to love this family!

SNEAK PEEK

Oh, my how this girl has grown up!

{check out the shoes}

I accused him of modeling on the side. Mr. GQ!

The kids brought some of their favorite things.......

Sorry K - you have "feet" in the actual pictures, the blog cut them off.

K - you and B have safe travels to Austin! I am praying you guys get great news!

{under wraps}

I have some beautiful bridals of Miss Julie that will be unwrapped after her October 2nd wedding! Cannot wait! Such a sweetheart........

{taylor & amber are married / fayetteville, arkansas}

Oh! I was so happy to be a part of such a precious evening to celebrate Taylor & Amber's exchange of vows. The ceremony and reception took place at The Stone Chapel at Matt Lane Farms - absolutely beautiful. Here are a few for their sneak peek......

.

Music plays a very important part of their lives and the night ended with the groom joining a band he plays with in the Fayetteville area. They were awesome! And, it gives me hope that as I sit every Thursday evening and wait as the boys have their piano lessons....that maybe...someday.....{ha!}

The details of the chapel were stunning.....

beautiful nieces of the groom.....

Taylor designed Amber's beautiful ring...

I {heart} mason jars....I will never tire of seeing them.......

LOVED the cake!

Congratulations guys! I am SOOOO jealous as you are flying to Spain for two weeks! It has been a joy to work with both of you as well as having a glimpse into your precious family.

{now one}
