Here is Tabitha and Pete’s sneak peek of their wedding in Newport, Arkansas. The original location was outside with church pews for seating, but the rain spoiled that plan. It was beautiful! They had worked so hard to set it up so we snagged some pictures at that location anyways. Good thing they had a back up plan and lucky me it was at an awesome old restored train depot. The vintage feeling of the depot worked incredibly with the vintage style of their wedding. Tabitha wore her grandmothers wedding gown… they had old glass bottles for centerpieces… old family photos displayed… vintage quilts as tablecloths… and drank out of mason jars! As an all things vintage lover I was in HEAVEN! I did learn a few things about trains while I was there though… 1) They are MUCH bigger and MUCH louder than they look on my kids cartoons 2) Preachers can not talk over trains passing by causing no choice but to wait for it to pass in the middle of the ceremony 3) When you are setting up this elaborate train passing behind couple shot and are waiting for the train to go by at super fast speeds…. it will stop. Stupid train completely ruined my brilliant plan! It was an absolutely perfect day (minus the car sickness I got on the way home) with a wonderful couple! Thank you guys so much for allowing Stefan and I to be a part of your special day!

I did Cara and Trey’s engagement photos and was so excited to then be able to be a part of their wedding. They had their wedding at the same location as their engagement photos… I just thought that was so special. Really, basically everything about their wedding was special. It was such an intimate ceremony with so much love. One of the reasons that I love wedding photography is because I get to stand back as invisible as possible and observe. The moments of love and happiness that I capture while quietly watching are my absolute favorite images from every wedding I shoot. There is nothing more special than the first moment the bride and groom see each other… the faces of joy on all of their loved ones watching the ceremony… the grandpa’s sneaking kisses from the little ones… and the loving moments that happen when everyone forgets that someone is taking pictures. I couldn’t exactly decide which images to share from their wedding so I had Stefan whip up a slide show to be able to show a few more than I otherwise would have been able to with just a regular blog post. We loved so many of these images it was hard to decide which ones to put in the slide show, so it’s a little long. If you have about 10 minutes to spare, grab a hankie and enjoy!
