Christi & Mitch’s Wedding!

Christi and Mitch were married on June 20, 2009 in Fayetteville, AR. It was such a fun, laid back day. Because of Christi’s careful planning (and her sister Kayla’s beautiful flowers) the day went off without a hitch!  The wedding was at Central United Methodist Church in Fayetteville and the reception was at the Fayetteville Country Club.

It was truly a beautiful day. . .

Here’s Christi reading her card from Mitch.  He bought her a ring that had a monogram of her new initials.

I feel like photo will mean a lot to them one day. I think it’s so sweet.

We were able to catch a little bit of the sunset on the golf course.

So, we don’t usually drink at weddings, but Christi insisted that Adam have a Blue Moon.  How could he resist!?!

Then things got a little crazy. . . Don’t even ask!  I just thought I’d post these since we don’t have pictures taken of us very often!

090620_029_IMG_8729

This is definitely the first time this has ever happened at a wedding.  Poor Adam. . .

Sorry to leave you with that image, but that’s all folks!

Cherron | Raining Light Photography - I love all her details. The veil is awesome, the flowers gorgeous, and that cake is the best ever! The dancing shot is fabulous, too.

Jill - Awesome pictures! And eww to the licking!

Tracy & Seth are Married!!

Tracy & Seth were married on May 30th (see, we’re slowly catching up on the blog!). Tracy is from NWA, but she moved all the way to Columbus, OH just to be with Seth. Her mother told both of her daughters that they couldn’t live more than 300 miles away, but since they all love Seth so much, they made an exception!

Here are our favorites from their wedding day.

1

They may have had some champagne that day. . .

Tracy had a little trouble with her slip.  It took 3 or 4 of her friends and her mother to get it right!

A toast from the guys.

I love how Seth is smiling at his mom.  So cute!

Here’s a cute face from Tracy and a sweet look from her mom (and Adam in the mirror…oops!).

Here are some of our favorites!

Christi Jenkins - Hi Adam and Cyndi!! These look great! Thank you so much!! Cheers! Christi

adam - Her sister, Kayla, made her do it! She is the florist who made her bouquet and she had seen this pose before. Christi was a great sport!

Amy Hannon - Although the pictures are BEAUTIFUL as always, I couldn't help but have an involuntary and audible gasp that this bride laid on the bricks in her wedding gown! Prissy of me, I know! Still, a lovely picture.

Tracy’s Bridal Session

I hate having to wait to post bridal portraits!  Sometimes we even forget, then have to play catch up! 

Tracy & Set got married a few weeks ago, so here our our favorites from Tracy’s Bridal Session.
