Lindsy & Cody - Country, Classic Wedding

 Lindsy and Cody first came to me last year about shooting their engagement session and from there I did Lindsy's bridals and recently shot their beautiful outdoor wedding.  The wedding was held in the backyard of the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum in Piggott, AR.  I had never been to this museum, nor did I know it existed and it's only 45 minutes from my childhood home in Missouri!!

It was a gorgeous wedding with beautiful details and elegance.  I loved the rustic, classy feel it had.  The color scheme for fall was perfect.  I guess it reminded me of my wedding a little since my anniversary was 3 days after her wedding.  

Without further ado....

Isn't she stunning?!?

These are the 8 best friends that anyone could have haha... these girls were such a fun time!

Loved her shoes!!!!

Like I said..."I don't know what to do with my hands???"
Every wedding....every time. BUT that's ok! It always seems to make everyone laugh.

My own grandmother makes ring pillows, such as this one! She made mine as well for my wedding! :)

I loved this!  I think it was one of the groomsmen that asked me before the ceremony started..."Would it be ok if we all high-fived Cody as we walk past??"  My response..."ummm, YES!!!" *sorry Lindsy*  I thought it was funny and definitely lightened the mood even more. :)

Done and done!

 

Who did your hair & makeup? Cheyenne Wilson

Who was your florist?  Bishop Florist

What was the most memorable moment from the day? Waiting upstairs in the barn with all the girls and peeking out the window at the people outside while Cody was standing right below us! It was so exciting!

Any advice you have for future bride and grooms? Enjoy every detail of the day because it goes by so fast, breathe, and be genuine!

What was the funniest memory? (maybe also the most stressful!)lol The majority of my bridesmaids getting lost on the way to the wedding!

Thank you all for being such great fans!

All my best,

Jacqueline & Ben's Destin Wedding Weekend

 Well...I've known Jacqueline for about 7 years now.  Our freshman year of college, we were suite mates and thus began our journey of friendship.  We've traveled half-way around the world together when we studied abroad in Australia with several friends.  When she asked me to be apart of her wedding weekend I was more than honored.  Despite Tropical Storm Lee, it was a wonderful weekend filled with friends and family and football!  We started off the weekend watching some Razorback football and as you can tell from the first few pictures below there were a "few" fans as well.

Calling the Hogs

The new family of 4.

Our journey from the condo to the ceremony site.

Jacqueline looked so gorgeous! 
Even with all the rain we managed to make it outside to the beach in time to grab a few pictures before the sun set and the rain started again.

 

Thank you all for being such great fans and loyal followers!

All my best,

P.S. I also tried out a new logo...not sure what I think about it yet. I can always go back to the original. 

Lindsy's Vineyard Bridals

I've known Lindsy for several years now and was honored she and Cody asked me to document the beginning of their new life together.  She is such a goooorgeous girl, it's impossible to take a bad picture of her.  This bride was up for anything despite her mother wincing when I asked Lindsy if she was up for laying on the grass in her dress and Lindsy says, "SURE!"  I love a bride that is motivated for innovation!  We did this shoot out at a local vineyard outside of Puxico, Mo, Indian Hills Winery.  

B-e-a-u-tiful!

I couldn't get enough of this field of yellow wildflowers!!! I also posted this shot in B&W below.
I think they are equally stunning.

See what I mean??!?? GOOOORgeous! (The mother-wincing-shot)

Thanks for following me and being such great fans/followers!

All my best,

The Faughn Family

While I was back home in Poplar Bluff, MO I was asked if I would do a session of the Faughn Family. Of course, I said "YES!"  Sarah is one of the happiest people I've met, she's a ball of fun.  Anyways, Sarah says to me, "Can we get the pictures with the boys taken first, that way they can change" or something close to that, but that's totally normal.  I don't think I've met too many men or boys that just LOVE having their picture taken, but I must say- the men are wearing my favorite color...GREEN and then we have the green trees...and grass...and the vineyard...I think that's it. 

Well I hope you enjoy! It was a pleasure!

I love this color scheme so, so much!  Sarah helping set up my wedding decor on my wedding day and remembered that I loved green! Not that they chose green for ME!! but I can think that...right?

I LOVE this image of the three of them.  Sarah will do anything to make Millie laugh and smile.  You can definitely tell they are a very loving, caring family.

This last image of Millie is one of my favorites because A. There's so much green! B. I love the little vineyard they have growing in their back yard. C.  Because Millie was probably saying "I want to go inside and get a cookie."  But said in more of a little girls voice.  D. Because Millie is so stinkin' cute in that tutu!!!
I think that about covers it.


I hope you all enjoyed!
