Lucas & Kayla | Wichita, KS | NWA Wedding Photographer | The Details!

  Probably one of my favorite aspects of capturing the story of all wedding days is through the details. It has become so engrained in me that I do this almost anywhere I am taking photos. Kind of strange huh?! However in this case, it is perfectly normal! The details of Lucas and Kayla's big day are incredible! And delicious!! Their reception details matched their personalities so well. I loved the country chic theme!

Check back soon for images of their entire day!
In the mean time check out some photos of all the great details from the day:

Lucas & Kayla | Wichita, KS | NWA Wedding Photographer | Sneak Peek!

  I had the great joy of being apart of my cousin Kayla's big day by being her wedding photographer! The wedding was gorgeous and I had the great privilege to have my cousin Brooke Letourneau second shoot for me! It was at St. Michael's in Mulvane KS and the reception was out at Warren Cabin. I wanted to post some of my favorites for now and we will get to the rest soon enough!

iHear, iFeel, iNeed Music!

 This is the title of my wife's Limeade's for Learning project. I wanted to rant for a bit about how amazing she is.

For the past three years, Molly has been submitting projects to be funded simply to better the learning environment for her students. If you all don't know, she is an elementary music teacher and she Rocks!!! Although she may not admit it, she is absolutely incredible at what she does. Her students feel so safe with her and learn a ton! In the past she has had projects funded for musical equipment in her classroom. This year she made a project to get a 64g iPod Touch. This will allow her to put all her music on the iPod so it can be more portable and all in one place! She will also be able to utilize all the applications that will benefit her students. Below is a link to her page on the Limeade's for Learning website. All you have to do is vote with a valid email address once a day. You can also vote two extra times a day buy purchasing a drink from Sonic™ and use the coupon attached to the cup!

Riffraff prints!

Well as you may have already guessed, that is what this post is about. I had the idea a few weeks back about putting some of my prints in at some local stores. Riffraff being one of them, is a unique little store on the square. They specialize in trendy antique style goods geared towards the ladies, so I really had to brainstorm for this one! Ha, or just ask my wife!! My idea was to photograph the different sorority houses before bid day this Sunday, when all the girls find out what houses they are in, and frame them to be sold in the store. I went out Monday morning before sunrise and got some photos, bought the frames and some ribbon to match. I took them in today and they are now for sale in the store. They put them up on Facebook, so go check them out!! If they sell well, I'll do some more and possibly do different stuff in the future. Things like shots of Dickson street or the Razorbacks.

Here you go:

here is what they look like in the store
they have super cute ribbon to be hung by too!

Jenna + Drew | engagement

This shoot has been the most special one to me so far, but I will say that their wedding might just be a step up! I have had the great pleasure to have spent the past 4 years living in the same town as Jenna. Molly and I also had a great time when she lived with us this past summer before moving to OKC. Drew came along with us on our family vacation this summer to Tennessee, and we decided it would be the perfect place for an engagement shoot.

Aren't they adorable:
