Arkansas Wedding Collection Engagement Session at Little Rock Capital

Your story begins now.

As an Arkansas Wedding Photographer, I believe you should want to live your wedding again and again.

Too often, couples feel fake and fabricated. Abandon Editorial. Embrace real.

Our wedding photography style is emotional, natural, and energized. You have our permission to ugly-cry, love with intensity, and sneak another kiss.

Embrace humanity. Live in the moment.

Wedding Photography Saves Marriages.

It’s a bold claim – but I believe wedding photography has the power to save marriages.

I say this because it saved mine.

Words of Love.

I wish I could give Derek 100000 stars! He is absolutely INCREDIBLE! We hired him over a year and a half ago when we first got engaged. We’ve seen him work and we knew he was so talented & made it seem effortless! He was 100% involved our whole engagement and was always open and available for any questions we had! He did an outstanding job with our engagement pictures and made us so comfortable. But, on our wedding day he was a total rockstar! Him and his team were so professional, kind, funny, and made the process actually fun! We were ahead of schedule and got every picture (and then some) that we were wanting! He truly captures the moments and the people he is photographing! We received SEVERAL compliments on how amazing he was and we couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you, Derek for sharing your gift with the world and for making our day perfect! We not only had an amazing photographer, but now we also have a friend! We love you!

The Booking Process

i

[ inquire ]

Awesome – you’ve decided you want to hear from me about what it would be like to have me as your photographer! This is the point where you complete the inquiry form completely and tell us as much information about yourself and your wedding plans as you can. I will be in contact with you as soon as I am available, and you will receive a personalized message from me.

ii

[ align ]

It’s one thing to have a photographer – it’s another to have someone who aligns with the same values and beliefs as you. We’ll get on the phone with each other for 15-30 minutes, where we find out if we are in alignment. If we’re not aligned, I will not be the photographer you need to capture your wedding as you dream it. If we are, then magic happens.

iii

[ design ]

No wedding is the same – and while my services are grouped into collection, each collection is tailored to your wedding, budget, and desires for your experience.  We will paint the picture of what your engagement session is like, dream together your favorite photo in your wedding album before the photo has been taken, and determine how your photographs will live in the physical form.

Let's Connect

Hi there, friend. I will respond to emails during working hours Monday through Friday, 9 – 5 CST. My weekends are for time spent with family and friends when I’m not out photographing weddings. Sometimes it takes slightly longer for me to respond during periods of travel and scheduled sessions with my clients. I try my best to focus on my clients’ stories and experiences. I only accept 20 weddings each year in order to provide a unique experience for my clients. I’m thankful for your patience and understanding, and I promise to be in touch soon.

Arkansas Wedding Photographer with over 100 couples stories told.

While originally from Nashville, Tennessee, I have come to love the great natural state of Arkansas and become an Arkansas Wedding Photographer! After all, what’s not to love? Arkansas offers the absolute best sports (Go Razorbacks!), scenic locations, and variety of looks. Arkansas, in my opinion, is the best place to plan a wedding. From mountainous elopements at Petit Jean State Park into classic weddings at Cold Springs Events Center, Arkansas truly is an amazing state for weddings. Check out these recent weddings!
