I am pleased to introduce you all to my new sister-in-law, Anna! As of last Saturday she is officially a part of our family, and we are so thrilled for her and Brad! I have been so anxious to share some of these bridals with you. I am in love with them, and Anna is just so stunning!! And, yes, while this post is for Anna.....it's REALLY for Brad too. You see, ever since I started the business and posting photos on my blog it seems like every time I would see Brad he would say to me, "Heeeeeey, Crystal! You gotta hook me up with that latest bride on your blog!! She's HOT!!" (Yes, Brad, I am calling you out! But I love you.) And I would have to retort jokingly, "BRAD! She's ENGAGED oooooor she's MARRIED! She's off limits!" LOL! Well, Brad, here you go! Here is Anna! And she is ALL YOURS!!!! :)
Classy and Sassy....
I really like this one a lot...
SO. FIERCE.
One of Anna's favorites....
I love these next few!!!
This one was in close runnings as one of my favorite from the day....
This one is the winner! I love it!! It's just so fun! And isn't Anna so darn cute?!
Love this one too! See - I have lots of favorites....
Love this angle. And I learned on this shoot that Anna does not have a BAD angle....anywhere! So not fair.
I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did! I am working on their wedding sneak peek and should have it posted on the blog soon!! Everyone have a great day!

Last Friday I started out my busy double wedding weekend with a bang in Harrison at Ryan and Megan's wedding. I have known these two for several years now, and I love them dearly!! They had a very touching wedding day filled with special details and super sweet moments. These two are so genuine, and their love for the Lord shines so brightly and is such an inspiration! I know they will have a long and very happy life together filled with love. Here are a few favorites from the day.....
Megan's something old, borrowed, blue....and new in a way. One of these bracelets was newly made with some of her grandmother's pearls. I loved it.
I loved the locket and old charms tied around Megan's bouquet. The locket held photos of Ryan and Megan's grandmothers who are no longer with us. She held them close to her heart all day. Such a touching detail...
After their first look. Aren't they so cute?!
Here comes the bride! Something I like about this photo is that you can see Ryan's reflection with the minister in the mirror behind Megan and her father.
Just after communion. I love the way Ryan looks at Megan!
I laughed out loud when I saw Ryan's cookie cake! So funny! And sooo Ryan! :)
Ryan and Megan wanted some great pictures of the two of them, so we caught some yummy light and I stole them away from the reception for a minute to get these shots. We literally chased the light up the hill, but I think it was worth it!!
My wonderful second shooter Ashley grabbed this shot!
And this one! Thanks, Ashley!
My angle...
They were so happy as they left to start their new life together!
Ryan and Megan, it was such a privilege to be a part of your wedding day! I am so proud of the two of you!! Congratulations and best wishes!!!

Beth was married last Saturday so now I get to post her fantabulous bridals! I had actually put a sneak peek up on the blog for her but we had to take it off because Chad, the groom, was too tempted to look! And after seeing Beth in her dress, who could blame him?! Beth's bridal session was also at the Capital Hotel so I had fun trying to think of new ways to use the setting for her. First off I have to share some of her awesome details!!
I just love the way these columns photograph!!
I also love the way these eyes photograph ;)
Beth has an awesome laugh!
Totally in love with this one... Beth chose the color version of this shot as her enlargement, so fun!
I'm pretty sure this next one is a-MAH-zing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Love this one too! I had too many favorites!!
Thank you for being so awesome Beth! I always love taking your picture, we have a blast!

Raydodd and Emily's beautiful wedding was a week ago in Little Rock. As I prepared for the day I just couldn't believe it was here!! We have been planning and talking about it for over a year! It was just over a month ago that Sarah and I photographed Raydodd's brother's wedding in Magnolia - Christian and Tammy. It felt much like a reunion as I got to see many of the same people, and it was so wonderful to finally meet Emily's friends and family! It was a very sweet and emotional day with so many special touches. Thank you to the UBER fabulous Misty Johnson for helping me out for the long day! You are awesome, Misty!
Here are a few favorites from the day....
A very touching moment between Emily and her father...
I thought this picture of her getting her veil in was cute and a little quirky. :)
Their first look....
Giving her away...
The kiss....
The reception site...
The cake topper that was passed down from Emily's grandparents....
first dance....
A sweet carriage ride around downtown....
Love it!
Love in an elevator on their way to the suite....
Raydodd and Emily, thank you so very much for allowing me to capture your day! It was absolutely amazing! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

I am finishing up the last minute things before I head out to shoot this bride's gorgeous wedding this afternoon! Megan is such an awesome girl! I have known her for 4 years now. I remember meeting her for the first time. Both she and my sister Lydia were freshmen at college, and both of them had been pretty miserable. They didn't really have many friends, they were away from their families and everything familiar. When I met Megan I knew she was someone special. I spent a lot of time with her and Lydia that first year of college, and I kinda inherited Megan as a little sister too! :) It was a lot of fun! And to see her grow into this wonderful lady, and now she is marrying the man of her dreams....ah! I couldn't be more proud of her!! She walks down the aisle to Ryan today, so I can finally share some her her amazing bridals with you all.
Megan chose Marlsgate Plantation for the site of her bridals too. It really is a beautiful place! Here are some favorites!
GAAAWWgeous!! :)
I cannot wait to see her today! I know she will be beaming!!! Ryan is one lucky guy! :)
