Sometimes when Arkansas photographers move elsewhere (New York City to be exact!!!), they still come home to capture a beautiful Natural State soiree!  That was just the case for Kari and Caleb Nichols of Cottonwood Studios!  Shelley Fleming and David Parker loved the duo's work and back South they flew for this Fall celebration at the Clinton Center!  Shelley and David were married on September 13, 2014 and here's a peak into their day. . .













































What a beautiful day in Little Rock for these newlyweds!  Here are a few of the vendors who brought it all together:

Arkansas Engagement: Lindsey + Pierce

To be quite honest, I'm somewhat at a loss for words on how to begin today's post.  Why?  Well, 1.) because I think that these images from Lindsey Newton and Pierce Hunter's engagement session with Kati Mallory Photo & Design are to die for. . . Seriously, like some of the prettiest pictures I've ever laid my little green eyes on!  And, 2.) because I simply adore this couple.  Just take a look and breathe in their happiness, y'all!
















Aren't they the best?  I luckily have the absolute honor to be designing and coordinating Lindsey and Pierce's June 13th wedding day and I assure you, they are just as kind as they are beautiful!  Lindsey, the owner of Little Rock's Pure Barre Studio, just radiates when she is around or even discussing her fella!  June 13th is sure to be a sweet, sweet day in Little Rock, Arkansas!

Hugs and kisses to Kati Mallory Photo & Design for brightening our day with this beaut!!!

Although Allie Hodous and her beau, Wesley Nimmo, currently reside in Louisiana, these two made their way back to the bride's hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas to capture their engagement photos with photographer, Lanye Bush of L.Michelle Images!  Amidst the unseasonably warm Fall weather, this couple simply adored and loved on each other throughout this entire session!  Take a look!














And that ring!  Wesley chose the yellow halo to incorporate Allie's favorite color.  We must admit, it's pretty perfect in all its brilliance!  Allie and Wesley will be married May 23, 2015 at the Stable on the Hill and we know it'll be equally as perfect!

Special thanks to Lanye Bush for sharing!  We are so thrilled to now have L.Michelle Images   
as a part of the TWP family and look forward to sharing much more of her beautiful work!

Valentine's Day was a most perfect day in Little Rock this year!  Not only was the weather absolutely ideal for a Winter wedding, but Erin Elizabeth Warden of Little Rock married her college beau, Michael Conner Lewis of Helena!!!  Family and friends gathered to celebrate their nuptials in Little Rock, Arkansas on February 14, 2015.

Erin and Michael wed in a traditional ceremony at St. Edward's Catholic Church and celebrated well into the evening with a reception at The Women's City Club in downtown Little Rock.  Adorned in a beautiful gown and embracing the colors of Valentine's Day, the entire day was absolutely perfect and a true celebration of love!

Big thanks to Kati Mallory Photography for providing these beautiful images from Erin's bridal session!  What a beauty!!!  We cannot wait to share more from their special day!

Friday Favorites {Birthday Edition}!!!

Well, what do ya know!  Today I'm another year older {wah, wah, wahhh} with another year of absolute wedding favorites under my belt!  To celebrate a little work today {on my birthday}, I'm sharing a few of my wedding favorites in a special edition of "Friday Favorites"!  So, to all my favorite friends out there. . .let's get started!  Here are a few of my absolute favorite finds from this past year of life. . .

To start. . . ALL things BHLDN. . . this brand has completely rocked the wedding World since it's "birth" and as a sister-brand to my all-time fave, Anthropologie, how could you not absolutely adore it?  Three cheers for BHLDN. . . you have my whole heart!





All above photos- BHLDN
Next up, Organic florals. . . me-oh-my, let those florals flow!  Florals and greenery are lush and loose so let them do their thang, y'all!  Let's leave structured, froufrou bouquets and balls of blooms to the hay-day and move forward with a little whimsy and a lot of fresh, organic florals!  This is not only enchanting and very garden-like, but all the rage right now!
Elizabeth Anne Designs
Kati Mallory Photo & Design
Amy Osaba
Bold choices. . . be it a bold lip {go red, friends}, a wild design choice, escaping to your very favorite getaway to tie the knot or just mixing it up a bit, do not be afraid to take chances!  Bold choices can make your wedding day not only memorable, but also much more personal if it's something that's tried and true to who you are!  Be bold and beautiful!

Air flowers. . . I'm not so sure what it is about these little guys that always tug on my heart strings, but I constantly find myself in awe of these little boogers. . . how do they grow?  Still not quite sure, but definitely in love.  Add these sweeties to a bouquet much like the trendy succulent, OR place them around your house for a low/no maintenance pick-me-up!  You won't be sorry! 
Project Wedding
Green Wedding Shoes
Signature cocktails. . . Sure, wine is fine {heck, who am I kidding? Wine might give my best friends a run for their money}, but signature cocktails are all the rage and make things so much more fun!  Mix it up at your next dinner party or even at your wedding reception.  Trust us, go custom with a custom cocktail!
Mountainside Bride
Green Wedding Shoes
Wedding Chicks
And last but not least, tulle. . . bless every woman out their's pretty little heart.  With the invention of tulle, our Worlds became much, much better.  This super feminine fabric, in any color might I add, is sure to melt your heart. . . while this is predominantly a "wearable" fabric, we're all in. . . fluff up your wedding gown or just rock a fab skirt on a night out on the town.  Goodness, it's even my go-to for tying a lovely little bow on any present or package!

You may recognize this beautiful bride, the new Mrs. Kimberly Murphy Morgan, from the engagement session that we posted earlier this week (here), but when you pair a beautiful bride with a very talented photographer who is shooting in film (Drew Cason Photography), the results are worth posting immediately!  

Kim Murphy of El Dorado wed Tripp Morgan of Stuttgart on February 28, 2015 in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Luckily, the Winter weather broke for the weekend and the rain held off just in time for these two to get married amongst family and friends!  With a traditional ceremony at Calvary Baptist, followed by a celebratory reception at The Women's City Club, the day was simply perfect!  Congratulations to the newlyweds and big thanks to Drew Cason Photography for another simply stunning session!!!
