Love is in the Air | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Posted on February 14, 2009

Okay, lovebirds. Tomorrow is a big day for all the ooey-gooey romantic types, and I want to be ooey-gooey, too. How do hope to accomplish this? The time to announce my 2nd contest is here!

I love surprises, as I’ve mentioned, and I love giving, so I thought it would be fun for this contest to have the opportunity for both. I want to give while someone gets a great surprise. Do you know an engaged couple you absolutely adore? Do you think it would be awesome to surprise them with a fantastic gift because they are so deserving? Well, tell me how much you love them and why they are the best because the winners of this contest will receive 8 hours of wedding photography by me, an engagement session with all images on DVD, a bridal session with all images on DVD, a Day After session with all images on DVD, and all wedding images on DVD with printing release, and a Storybook album! That’s a value of over $2400! How’s that for love, giving, and surprise?! I’m so excited.

Here’s how it’ll work. Send in a photo and a letter telling me why you think that this couple deserves wedding photography. Are they the hub of your social circle, always making sure there is a place to crash? Do they volunteer for a great cause? Never afraid to lend a hand during a big move? Just an all around awesome couple? Tell me about it!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES 11:59 PM ON MARCH 1ST

Photos (1mb and under, please) and letters are to be sent to raininglightphotography@yahoo.com

Here are a few rules. The wedding will need to be in 2009 and in the Northwest Arkansas area. There will be no 2nd shooter, though there will always be the option of adding one at the normal rate.

Good luck and Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Tessa and Drew | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Posted on October 26, 2008

I had the pleasure of being asked to second shoot at a fantastic wedding by the amazing Melissa of Preserved Photography. We had such a fun time. That girl is hilarious and I will work with her any time she asks!! You can see her sneak peek of the wedding here.

I would like to share a few of my favorites of the day. It was such a gorgeous wedding. I can not stress that enough. The ceremony was held at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, an absolutely beautiful location! The weather was perfect with brilliant skies and fat clouds. I love big, fluffy clouds in photos!! Tessa and Drew had so many wonderful details in their ceremony like poetry, orchestra music, friends and family singing…it was just all so…well, perfect! I’m sure they agree!!

Isn’t that veil lovely! And I loved the little branches in her flowers.

They released doves at the end of the ceremony. It was really fun to watch them fly about in the sky. This little guy was relaxing in a cage during the ceremony.

This was taken during the first dance through a mirror in the ceiling.

I’m so happy to have been part of such a wonderful day!! Melissa, thank you very much for asking me to photograph this day with you. It was amazing from beginning to end!

{I do} Angel and Eric | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Posted on October 1, 2008

Can taking photos of this couple get any better? They’ve proved to be some of my best models!

Eric and Angel had a very intimate ceremony beneath a lovely gazebo in a gorgeous park this weekend. Fun fact: it was the same gazebo where my husband and I eloped almost five years ago! This wedding brought back wonderful memories of our own small wedding and I have now made plans for photographs of us to celebrate our anniversary! I’m sure there will be more details in another post because I’m very excited about it!

A bit of time together before the ceremony. Can’t you just feel the love!!

This was one of the sweetest things that I’ve ever seen. He whispered the last part of his vows to her. Something about whispering words for her and only her made me melt. I love it!

Eric read vows to Angel’s two beautiful boys. His words promising to be there for them were so touching. I was even tearing up at this point!!

Eric and Angel, again I thank you for letting me be a part of such a special day. It was wonderful, you guys were gorgeous, and the boys were beautiful. You two are truly special.

Blast from the Past!!

Posted on April 3, 2008

I love this weather; it is so gorgeous! It makes me realize that weddings are soon to be popping up all over the place. Wedding photography is something that I adore and can’t wait to do. I’ve done one small, intimate wedding and am doing another wedding in August. Weddings make me think of bridals and the lovely photographs that can result, so I decided to post some photos that I took of my sister-in-law last year. She and my brother had a gorgeous beach wedding that I wasn’t able to attend, so I did her bridal photographs when they returned. I loved it! She looked so beautiful and it was so much fun.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Isn’t she gorgeous!!!

And my favorite of the day. We were driving back into town and as I saw these storm clouds rolling in, we passed this adorable church. I begged my brother to stop so we could take advantage of the great setting. It was awesome!
