Rowan and Cheyenne -- A Happy New Year / Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Happy new year to all !!
We just got back from our annual convention -- Professional Photographer's Association in Nashville.  As usual, we learned sooooo much ---
But we had a bit of a mishap --
We had a small electrical fire in the kitchen on the back wall ...
It took out the "historical" old house's electric!!
So -- this was a bit scary ...

We want to share a blog that should have been up on Jan. 5 ---
Which was a typo on "A's" part -- it really was meant for Jan. 15 -- OOOPSS!!!

For all of those checking - we apologize for this typo!!

We want to introduce Rowan and Cheyenne to you all!!
What a great couple...

We did their HOT engagement session earlier this year -- along with Cheyenne's bridal fashion session... They were great, too...

Their beautiful wedding took place at the Peabody -- and it was so breathtaking...
From the words said at the wedding -- very moving -- to the fun dancing later...
We thank them for the opportunity to be a part of their day...

EXPERIENCE their wedding gallery !!!



Now -- more of the wedding day...

Cheyenne's wedding dress -- absolutely STUNNING !!


You have to love today's cameras -- here Cheyenne's sister poses for HER camera !!



Cheyenne and the gals getting ready !!  Don't you love the red!!


More of the girls ...


Cheyenne and Mom get a little teary right before heading down for the ceremony ...


A's FAV SHOT OF THE DAY ...

Bill had Rowan set up in this great light and had him "hold" Cheyenne's ring up in the light...
But what Bill didn't expect was the look that crossed Rowan's face as he looked down at
the ring....
Doesn't his look say it all ...
You can just see the love on his face...
Totally priceless...


"A" caught the guys having fun before the ceremony...


BILL'S FAV SHOT OF THE DAY...
While waiting around for the ceremony to start --
"A" had Rowan pose for the traditional up close shot ---
What happened behind Rowan is so funny --
The guys started "having fun" with Rowan... as you can see from their hand gestures.
Not effected at all Rowan still smiled and created a great portrait !!


And boy did the guys have fun !!
This is their "groom and the groomsman" shot for the couples album !!
Whew - hew!!


During the ceremony --
Some of the groom's relatives followed along with the pastor in the Bible...
What a great ceremony this was.  So very moving...


The couple sneak a hug while waiting to go up to the family dinner...


And here's our "ham" for the day...
Our little ringbearer knew when the camera was around...
You just pointed it at him and ---
The smiles just poured ...
Such a cutie!!


The wedding cake and it's little minitures...
Loving the cupcake tiers that are becoming so popular...
And so do the guests.
These were "gobbled up" literally as fast as they could be brought out...



Cheyenne and Rown had practiced the dance.  He spun her around and they waltzed across the floor...
They made quite a striking pair as the new "husband and wife"...


They enjoy a special moment...
The lighting for the reception was oranges, pinks, and soft golds. 
It created a fun and elegant atmosphere which really highlighted their style...


Dad gives Cheyenne a hug during their dance.  Can you see the napkin in his hand...
Yeap -- that was brought out to him earlier in the dance --
Yeap -- it's a crying towel...
We can't help it --- we both get so choked up during this time when both the bride and her dad share
such an intimate and emotional moment...


Everyone kicked back and had some fun ...
As you can see here -- all ages enjoyed the music ...



And lastly --
Here's our couple taking their couple pics before heading up to the family dinner.


Thanks to the family, the wedding party, and to Cheyenne and Rowan for such a special day!!
We wish them all the best ...

Bill's fav shot of the day ---
He really liked how we captured the "sultry / sexy" look of this photo...










Our couples know that Bill likes to lay down on the job -- and here's why -- he gets such a great angle for some really unique shots...

The BLING !!


A's fav shot of the day --
While doing our shoot  - the train that runs along the scenic route from Van Buren to Eureka Springs came by --- and we had the couple run, literally run, over to get a shot of the train behind them... What we love about this -- the conductor waving at us while the couple get a quick kiss !!

Another fav of "A's" that Bill got ---
The mud puddle reflection ---
He finds the best reflection shots in the places you would never expect...
Here's one example !!
Don't you love how Mary Kathryn's face is peeking over at Bill in the reflection !!
