Veronika and Wade's Fayetteville Spring Engagements

0
0


Hey everybody!

So I was SUPER nervous right before this engagement shoot... it had been raining ALL day and this sweet couple was driving in from out of town. But it stopped raining just before and look how GORGEOUS these portraits turned out! They are one of the sweetest couples... not to mention beautiful! Veronika kept complimenting Wade the entire time, telling him how good he looked. It was ADORABLE!

Savannah Anniversary Portraits or Kady and Tyler

Hey everybody!

Most of you remember Kady's wedding, reception, and wedding portraits - it's one of our most visited/repinned weddings of all time! Since Kady and Tyler were heading to Savannah for Anna and Parke's wedding, they asked if we could do a portrait session to celebrate their one year anniversary. We were of course honored and happy to schedule it! They are, after all, one of our all-time favorite couples!!  Be sure to check out our next issue of Benfield Weddings magazine for a really important story from Kady!

Hey everybody!

It's ALMOST time for Alex and Trevor's dreamy Pinnacle wedding, but in the meantime...
Look at these STUNNING bridal portraits we took of Alex! Springtime in Fayetteville is gorgeous (I LOVE the tulips!), but this bride needs no help! Isn't she so pretty!? I mean like REALLY pretty?! Sometimes I just have to show up, push some buttons and call it good. {that seems to happen anytime Alex is standing in front of me}

Alex and Trevor's Wedding at Hunt Chapel

0

Hey everybody!

Can we start off with what is sure to be a Benny Awards nominee for best shoes? I die!

Alex is the definition of beauty - and with our friend Kelly from Crown Beauty Bar working her magic... Alex was a showstopper!

On our way to get dressed, we had to take a selfie in the coolest elevator (at Pinnacle Country Club).

A STUNNING dress, wouldn't you say?

Very touching.  I love these moments Meredith captured.

Alex and her dad were full of happy tears as they walked down the aisle toward Trevor.

And so was Trevor. What a great moment.

Hunt Chapel is such a beautiful NWA wedding venue!


When it came time to kiss the bride, Trevor did it right.

My favorite part of the day is always shooting portraits of the couple, but this was a very close 2nd... zooming down the road to the reception with this fun and fabulous couple! Alex has the best looking laugh, doesn't she?!



Tomorrow I'm going to share their reception details and story, so come on back. ;)

Pinnacle Wedding Reception of Alex and Trevor

Hey everybody!

Today I get to share Alex and Trevor's wedding reception with you. The reception was at the Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, and with a gorgeous color palette and beautiful lighting, the space was transformed into a dreamy wonderland! I created a collage of some of my favorite wedding details below.

Earlier in the day, I stepped in to photograph a couple centerpieces.  I love a gorgeous head table like this!

What goes better with a bottle of Dom than a breathtaking cake?!

Now let's get back to moments!  Here's one of my favorites.  When the marriage license was getting signed, our couple had a really sweet moment!

Then they went in to the first dance.  I love the ceiling at the Pinnacle Country Club. Look how happy our couple is!



Then it was Dad's turn. Look closely and you'll see a tear on Alex's cheek.  So sweet!

Party pics!




And some silliness, and cuteness.





I love this ending shot.  Just perfect.

And of course we had to do another selfie!


Portraits are hitting the blog next! Stay tuned!

Wedding Portraits of Alex and Trevor

Hey everybody!

I could look at these all day. This couple is super gorgeous. Plus, the lighting was kind of perfect - clouds behind and sunlight in front. But most of all, the couple was so in love and genuinely enjoy each other that all I really had to do was point and click. (well, and set my f-stop, shutter, Iso, white balance, ... hahaha!)

Natalie & Tad's Wedding in Kansas City

Hey everybody!

I had the privilege of photographing this lovely couple's wedding in the wonderful Kansas City a few weekends ago. Every detail was incredible! Just look how pretty all these colors are together! From her Reem Acra dress, to the Rifle Paper Co. table markers, to the Kate Spade champagne glasses and serveware (to die for!). And just LOOK at that gorgeous gold cake! I'm in love!

Kansas City Wedding Story of Natalie and Tad

Hey everybody!

My morning started pretty early on Natalie's wedding day.  I was at the salon with them first thing in the morning to start the wedding day preparations (and celebrations).  After the girls got their hair did (heehee), we hopped out into the middle of the street for a cute little group pic...


Natalie's Reem Acra dress was to die for, and her laugh made me cheeks hurt from smiling all day long!

Stunning.

Tad thought so too.  I love this moment when he sees her walking toward him.







I showed you the cake yesterday, but man... it was a jaw dropper. I'm a sucker for gold, and the sugar flowers added the perfect punch of color.  Doesn't our couple look SO happy here?



Look closely. Emotional brides are definitely my favorite! And Daddy/daughter moments are too!

Haha... nice work Tad!

We brought the gold spangled Benny Booth and I hopped in on a picture with Natalie and her sister (check out their planning4paris blog here)

Oh so precious.



Portraits will be coming your way tomorrow!  Won't wanna miss!

Kansas City Wedding Portraits of Natalie and Tad

0

Hey everybody!

Last but not least, I want to share Natalie and Tad's wedding portraits we photographed around Kansas City.  I love shooting new places (Kansas City itself was certainly not new, but our locations there were!)... I get so inspired by what's around me. The portrait at the very bottom is a great example of using what I have to make a pretty portrait.

This first one shows a great reaction, but I also love the wind taking the bride's veil. Presh!


This was a nod to their engagement session we shot at the Kansas City Plaza fountains.  Sweetness.



Beautiful timeless portrait here!











Yay for Natalie and Tad!  Y'all are really special people, and I'm honored to know you both!

I'm sure you'll remember one of our coolest Benny couples of all time, Afton and Ryan... well, THEY'RE EXPECTING!!  I can't wait for Afton to be a mom (she'll be a great one), because she and the soon-to-be-family-of-three moved into our neighborhood and Cece will have another friend! Yay!

Oh, how I love this!!  Take a look at some of my favorites!

Hey everybody!

This wedding was classic and beautiful. The location (Gaillardia Country Club) was a dream, and the bride was sweet as pie.

I love colorful socks.  I always wear some myself on the wedding day!


A little Benny Backlight for the bride's first entrance: Love it.




Love the veil in this shot!  What a special moment!

Gah... look at this venue, and our happy couple!!

Hey everybody!
The Gaillardia Country Club provided such a great backdrop for Taylor and Zak's wedding portraits. Almost as if it were built for photographers, we could shoot inside or out, and found great lighting everywhere!  Have a look at my favorites from the day!







Definitely my favorite from the day. That wind, and that tree!

Hey everybody!

I had the fun opportunity to photograph this darling family before one of the daughters left to go abroad. That's such a special time and special reason to do a family portrait session, so even though the weather and schedule was crazy, we were happy to make it work! I look forward to doing another session when she gets back! :)
