Chris and John Leach

Chris and John were married on May 30th in a gorgeous Little Rock Chapel,  Our Lady of the Holy Souls Catholic Church.   Chris and John were both very laid back and easy going, making it a wonderful smooth sailing wedding.  Their reception was just the same and fun of lots of laughter and cheer.  We want to wish you many happy years together!  I will be posting a link shortly were you will be able to see the rest of their wedding album.  But here’s a few teasers to curb your Chris and John appetite!

I told you this chapel was gorgeous!

The happily married couple!

I believe this is happily married as well……..  🙂

I saw these place cards and loved the handwriting, Chris will you please make me a new font!

I’m a huge sucker for dad and daughter moments!  Chris’ dad was so funny and such a nice guy.  I’m honored to have met him.

Both of them graduated from U of A, hence the Razorback cake.

We wish you warm wishes and many happy years together Chris and John!

Be sure to watch out for a post later with a link to their wedding gallery!

Anyways we manged to pull off some awesome shots still! Thanks Shi. I love you and you looked stunning!

Tanner & Gabby 04.19.2009

We had such a blast shooting Tanner and Gabby’s wedding at the beautiful Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel of Bella Vista, AR. They are such a fun couple with some many life experiences and awesome memories of their travels all over the world. Their flower came from the talented florist at Shirley’s Flowers. They had two amazingly beautiful cakes from Shelby Lynn’s from Springdale. We also had the pleasure of working with Nilo Productions for the first time and he was great. We really cant wait to see what he has come up with! Simple Pleasures provided the amazing antique Lincoln. The reception was at Crabby’s in the Coca Cola building in Rogers, AR. Congrats to you both! We know you both will have some amazing  journeys to share together as husband and wife, and we wish you the very best of luck.

Elisabeth from Glo in Fayetteville did a wonderful job on Gabby and her girl’s makeup!

We both loved how everyone in the party was doing their eyes at the same time.

After the ceremony we headed down to Bentonville Square and to an old barn  to take some beautiful Bride and Groom portraits.

Thanks Guys for allowing us to spend your day with you. We had an absolute blast!

Chelsea’s Bridal Portraits

We are  so excited to finally be able to blog these! We have been sitting on them for the last month waiting for the big day to finally get here. Chelsea and Rj’s pictures will be blogged in the next couple days. Chelsea looked so beautiful and made the most amazing bride. Thanks Chels for being so wonderful.

Gabby’s Bridals

Ok so I did say I would post again yesterday but we got the crazy idea to start remodeling our studio last night around 6pm so I never got that second post in, but here it is!

First off  I never told you what the winners of our contest would be receiving!!!!  Silly me.  Well we decided this time we would offer two $15 iTunes gift cards!  Yay.  Hopefully they will be rockin out to some awesome music sometime soon.

Now here’s Gabby.  She is such an amazing woman and we just love her and Tanner, our couple that will be getting married at Cooper Chapel on April 19th.  Her dress is gorgeous, her veil is her something borrowed, and her makeup was done by the wonderful ladies over at Glo Limited.  Here’s a sneak peak.

This is what I think of when I think of Gabby, and this is the reason she hired us.   🙂

Chris and John Esession

So Chris and John will be getting married on May 30th in Little Rock and we have the wonderful privilege to be their photographers!  They are such a sweet couple and were so excited to have their pictures taken, well I think John was more excited about getting to kiss Chris so many times!  We really had a wonderful time with them last weekend and we can’t wait to share their wedding day with them!  Here’s a few of our favorites.

Comment to Win!!!

Why are we doing this:

We sorta were wondering who we are writing to, who is reading this delicious blog anyways?  So we thought we would have you guys help us out in determining our audience…….which led to “Comment to Win!”

How it works:

We want you guys to come to our blog and comment on something, anything!  We will be randomly selecting a winner according to what number of commenter they are.  It does not matter what you comment or which image or anything else for that matter, just as long as you do comment.   You must comment to win.

We encourage any and all to comment.  We don’t care if you are family, friends, current clients, future clients, fellow photographers, doesn’t matter you can still win!

What to say:

Although we’ve mentioned it doesn’t matter what you say and has no bearing upon if you win or not, you still may be wondering what in the world you could say in a comment.  So just for you we’ve thought of a few things you could tell us……..you could let us know which image is your favorite, your favorite story, what state you live in, your experience with us, your favorite color, or simply just let us know you read the blog today!  The possibilities are endless…….who knows we might offer another prize to the comment that made us laugh the hardest!
