Ashley & Christopher | Wedding

David — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 05:03:30 +0000

I recently had the privilege of photographing Ashley & Christopher Sharpe in Hot Springs, AR. After a lovely and very brief ceremony, we all moved downtown to the historic Arlington Hotel for a very intimate reception. Ashley was strikingly witty and very cleverly scheduled a little extra time for photographs in the park behind Bath House Row…just beautiful!

Kisha & Jonathon | Wedding

David — Thu, 13 May 2010 03:23:24 +0000

A few days ago, I had the awesome privilege of working with Kisha King and Jonathon Modica. The couple was married at the Mildred B. Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista, followed by a reception at The Garden Room on Dickson Street in Fayetteville.

Whitney & Drew | Wedding

David — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 03:29:56 +0000

Whitney and Drew were married at the beautiful Stone Chapel at Matt Lane Farm. The day was perfectly executed complete with an on-site reception and dinner followed by lots of dancing to the tunes of Big Bad Bubba.

Stacy & Cody | Wedding

David — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:15:28 +0000

For Stacy and Cody, we traveled to Lawton, OK, and just as before, I felt immediately at home. I had a great time at the rehearsal where I received a glimpse of what would follow the next day for the ceremony. The wedding, held at First Baptist Church went without a hitch, followed by a limo ride to the reception at the Medicine Park Music Hall outside of Lawton. As usual, I had the opportunity to sneak off with the newlyweds for a few couples portraits before rejoining the reception where the dancing lasted well into the night. It was truly awesome to see the union of two genuinely warm and welcoming families.

Shannan & Mark | Wedding

David — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:15:00 +0000

These are just a few of my favorites of Mark and Shannan. They are such a beautiful couple with such an inviting family, it was a joy to work with them! My favorite has to be the dance shared by Shannan and her grandfather…this is why I love photography!

Adam & Michelle | Wedding

David — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:17:49 +0000

Held at the stunningly beautiful Mildred B. Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista, Adam and Michelle’s wedding was elegantly simple. The amazing service was officiated by my good friend Bob Tharp, who is a regular at the chapel. A full reception followed at the 1950′s inspired Simple Pleasures. This was my first opportunity to work at Simple Pleasures, but I have to say it was a perfect fit to Adam’s & Michelle’s personality.

Adam has become a great friend over the past few years, and he’s found a great bride in Michelle. Adam and Michelle, may your lives’ be full of joy and happiness.

Choices… Choices…

Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the more critical choices in planning your wedding. Long after the cake is gone and the flowers are wilted, you’ll be able to relive one of the best days of your life through your wedding pictures and album. I really enjoyed the article below, particularly the first section about relationships. In my experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve found that my best work has come from those clients with whom I’ve connected with on a personal level.

Shooting with Stephanie of Catchlight Photography

David — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:03:00 +0000

Wow, what an awesome day. It’s great to work with other photographers. I was available to help out my good friends Sam and Stephanie of (www.catchlightweddingphotos.com). Stephanie and I shot a beautiful wedding for Tad and Stephanie (bride, not photographer) at the amazing Mildred B. Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista while Sam shot a wedding in Oklahoma City. Stephanie and I had a blast shooting together, even if she did eat the last piece of chicken!
