Hot Springs Sunset Wedding – Courtney & Dillon

I met these two at my favorite local coffee shop here in Little Rock. We talked about all the things from how Courtney and Dillon met, to being surrounded with friends and family (of whom many are criers), to dreams and aspirations. We might have even talked about this wedding day and photography, even if just a little at the end.

From the very first email, I’ve been impressed with how caring and intentional Courtney and Dillon are, being incredibly gifted people who always make you feel loved and heard. As we were leaving the coffee shop, I asked what other plans they had while in Little Rock, expecting that they would have scheduled something fun, wedding planning, or food/cake taste testing. But no, they had just driven hours from Oklahoma to meet in person. This was incredibly humbling to me and I think is a small look into how much these two are willing to go out of their way to build connection and invest in the lives of the people they care about.

Courtney and Dillon’s wedding day was just beautiful and fit their personalities so well. Just as expected, there were very many happy tears shed, much laughter, and no shortage of unapologetic dancing. It was truly a wonderful day and I couldn’t feel luckier to be a part of this.


Little Rock Couple Engagement Portraits – Carly & Vinny

Carly and Vinny are the types of people that you can’t help but fall in love with their personalities. From always laughing at each other, wearing their hearts on their sleeves to always making the people around them feel special and included. I’m a big fan of these two and feel very honored to document the relationship that is Carly and Vinny.

For the session we went for a little bit of a different vibe and did pictures at Little Rock’s Big Dam Bridge and some of the walking trails on the north side. It wasn’t the best for allergies (sorry Vinny!) but it was such a perfectly beautiful day to do portraits. One of the things I’ve been wanting to do more is to make portrait sessions more meaningful beyond just taking pictures, so we finished the evening with Carly and Vinny sharing some of the things that they love most about each other and some of their favorite moments together.

All in all, a truly a wonderful time. These two are getting married this weekend and that’s a wonderful reason for celebration.
