There will always be space in my heart for just one more Osage House wedding. Jared and I were just talking a few days ago about how we’ve still never even seen a wedding at the Reserve (the smaller venue on property at Osage) because our clients always go big, but the truth is we love when they do. From blogs about how to have the perfect Osage Wedding, to blogs about unique ways to have a wedding at Osage we’ve seen it all. Mia + Alec, Jordan + Jordan, Alie + Hunter, Hannah + Mason and so many other amazing couples have brought us out to this incredible big beautiful property tucked back in ..read more

You don’t have to have a huge wedding to have a beautiful wedding. You also don’t have to elope to have wild adventurous photos. It’s 2024 and the wedding world has shifted a lot in the last few years. Since the pandemic the entire industry has taken this beautiful pivot where large weddings are now huge creative productions, small weddings are intimate and intentional but still with a keen eye for design and even elopements have their own special little creative draw. How to know what size wedding is right for you? I guess the answer could be based on budget a bit. The reality is that every ..read more

There’s a million places to get married in Little Rock. Right? I’m kind of genuinely asking here because I’ve been to a handful of really beautiful Little Rock Weddings but it sort of seems to me like unless you’re having the ultra modern throw down at The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, or the Riverfront reception at the Clinton Library the options are a bit limited. I heard at this wedding that this incredible home, the Edgemont House is wrapping up their weddings in 2024 and I sure hope they change their mind. Sure the parking is annoying, and sure I’m betting the neighbors hate the noise but ..read more

First thing’s first. If you haven’t already seen the blog from this wedding at the Cape Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico CLICK HERE. Honestly, nothing I could say from this point on would begin to even touch the beauty of this wedding day. Secondly because I know we have a fairly solid group of photographers that follow along with us here on the blog we can’t wait to share with you the behind the scenes YouTube video of from this wedding along with how you can get your hands on a copy of our “OUT OF OFFICE” Destination Wedding Photographer guide by CLICKING HERE. FACT : the sun hits different i ..read more

The Cape Hotel is a magical spot that doesn’t seem quite possible. To sit on the rocks at the south end of the beach and look south over the ocean while the sunsets is a wild experience simply because there is no single landmass between those rocks and Antartica. It literally feels like you’re on the edge of the world. It’s so odd to realize that I’ve written about that feeling before from a wedding in Montauk, NY last year when I realized I was looking directly at Europe and just couldn’t see it. So what makes the Cape such a destination? Well if you ask the surfers down on the beach braving ..read more

My Actual Instagram post the morning after went something like this… Sheesh. New Jersey shows off. I popped into the feed of Park Chateau after my first meeting with Kristina and David to see what I was in for. It took like two seconds to spot images from friends like @vanessajoy , @chris_antice , and @charmipena and I was pretty sure then that this place would be a knockout. Fast forward a year, a few more Jersey venues under my belt, and a realization that there’s a weird thing going on in the industry right now with venues. I’m not sure if the problem is uptigh ..read more

Unveiling the Untold Stories: A Journey Through the 808 Ranch In the heartland of Missouri, where the amber sunsets kiss the rolling hills, lies a sanctuary of stories waiting to be unveiled. Welcome to the 808 Ranch, where the legacy of generations past intertwines with the rugged beauty of the land, creating a tapestry of tales as rich and vibrant as the Missouri land itself. As Northwest Arkansas photographers with a passion for documentary storytelling, we embarked on a journey to capture the essence of cowboy life at the 808 Ranch, to grasp what this world was about, to see how the modern ..read more

2024 Wedding Season - where do we go from here? The first wedding of the year and we were walking head first into it with this big question looming. I’d asked Melissa (my wife) that question before I headed out the door and she had a really cool take on things. Essentially what I got out of here was, don’t reinvent the wheel, just make it spin smoother. Keep in mind, that’s not how she said it, I’m sure it was more direct like “stop thinking so much and do cool crap” but I tried to make it sound way cooler. I digress. We elevated a lot about the work we create last year. Our couple’s were the ..read more

It’s a Winter wedding in New York and I’m not all that great at being cold. It’s a true statement and though New York may be absolutely brutal on most January days I’ll admit it hasn’t exactly been a heat wave down in Arkansas lately. Jared and I had a full on conversation about whether or not we could actually fit fleece lined leggings under our tuxedo pants. In the end that idea was shut down and to be as blunt as I can be, we got extremely lucky. 45 degrees in New York in January is an act of God. It’s about 400 degrees warmer than it should be and it was absolutely welcomed. When we jumped ..read more

The best wedding photos of 2023 It’s the most daunting task each year going back through our photos and trying to organize the very best images. This year I wanted to do things just a little differently. Instead of a hodgepodge of wild moments from weddings here and there I actually tried to build the entire post out chronologically. A little taste of the images, the style, the moments from every single wedding we shot in 2023. The fun here is that these aren’t the “best” photos in my opinion, but they are totally indicative of the day. Photos and moments and memories that felt like the day, b ..read more
