I think when most engaged couples hear “wedding lighting” they think “uplighting.” They think of spending a lot of extra money to add uplighting, and (based simply on my own observations) quite a few couples reject the idea. But lighting doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. In fact, it can be one of the [...]

Favorite Things: Keeping it Real Vintage
I’ll be the first to admit I love vintage. I haunt antiques stores and flea markets in my free time (what there is of it). Like most photographers, I’m addicted to old barns, broken down tractors, and what my photography teacher used to call “patina.” Vintage is popular too. It’s not hard to get caught [...]
Seen at the Bridal Fair: The Cutest S’Mores Bar
A little something from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette’s Fall Bridal Fair last month: This was at the Clinton Presidential Library booth. What a cute idea! The Clinton Library is also a lovely place to have a wedding. Ceremonies are usually on the back lawn, next to the river with a lovely breeze coming off the [...]
Favorite Things: Ice Cream Cake
Here’s another one from my favorite wedding I didn’t “really” shoot. Okay, yes, I’m contradicting that with every cute picture I post, but this was my brother’s wedding, so I asked a long time ago to not be the main photographer. I wanted the chance to relax, enjoy myself, support my brother, and have some [...]
Answering the Question: Why?
I have had the chance to do some soul-searching this summer. Lots of great things are going to come out of this, and I have several new revelations to make in the coming weeks. But first, I want to get to the basic issue that came up here. Why do I do what I [...]
Favorite Things: Origami Wedding Guest Favor Boxes
Origami was one of my first crafting loves. I remember, as a child, being delighted by the idea that you could take a piece of paper and, without glue, tape, or any other kind of fastener, create some kind of sculpture, or even a useful object. These little boxes are perfect for wedding guest favors. [...]
Favorite Things: Pineapple Palm Trees
It’s supposed to cool down this week, and I could not be more grateful. The past few days, I have exhausted all my salad recipes and invented new ones. My family has gone through a melon and two bags of grapes in two days. I just cannot imagine turning on the stove, or even firing [...]
Favorite Things: His and Hers Hogs Groom Cakes
Summertime! And I am digging in the archives for some Favorite Things before the archives get too deep for me to dig! Of course, ideas come and go. Some stick around, and some prove to be fads. So I think it’s worthwhile to look back through past weddings every once and a while and see [...]
Vintage Dishes for Your Wedding: Friday Favorites
Vintage is all the rage for weddings, so why not make it personal? If you are going for this look for your wedding, there may be some beautiful pieces of glassware and silver in your family that could be used for serving, or simply for decoration, at your reception. Instead of renting serving dishes, Anna [...]
Friday Favorites: Sentiments from the Sole!
It’s like a secret message on the bottom of your shoe! Only not so secret … you need to make sure you get some photos. There are several ways to attach a message to your shoes, but I like these sparkly decals Alicia found on Etsy. A couple of notes … they seem to be [...]
