And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:  and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God, and saying, 

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth. . . 

peace, good will toward men!!!"

Happy 2014, y'all!  Let's just jump right into this sure to be fab new year with this adorable sesh by TWP newcomer, Megan Winter.  We think you're gonna love her work.  We sure do.  Check it . . .

Told ya'!  How sweet are these pics?!  Love, love, love.

The photographer (Megan!) let us know a little bit more about these two cuties:
"When you hear about two people going from "best friends" to "the perfect couple" you think to yourself, "Yeah, that's what they all say." But in this case it's true.

Kacey & Jon have known each other for thirteen years. They went to high school together and became better friends during college. He went to ASU and she went to the UofA to be a Razorback cheerleader (Woo Pig, right?!). Then, one night things changed.

Jon expressed his love for Kacey on a back road...I know, this all sounds like a country song to me, too! It took her a little bit to agree to go on a date because she did not want things to go sour and their friendship to be ruined. But as everyone can see, things couldn't be better for these two!
He proposed on October 12, 2013. It was just a normal Saturday and he mentioned the idea of a mani/pedi because his mom's husband, Kelly (who passed away earlier this year), had always told Jon he loved it & he should give it a try. Afterward, Kacey was sitting on the couch cuddling with her dog, Ollie, when Jon popped the question.

As Jon got down on one knee, Kacey clearly remembers screaming, then crying, then screaming a little more. "I forgot to say yes and everything," she says. "I was just running around the house." But she did, finally, say yes...and there it is, as Kacey put it, "Two best friends getting to marry each other!"
And so, the three of us, Ollie, Jon's mother & my trusty assistant (aka my little sister, Jessica) headed to Alda's Magnolia Hill here in Little Rock for what turned out to be quite possibly my favorite e-session EVER! The locale could not have been prettier and the weather was just right...ok, maybe a little cold for poor Kacey once she donned that gorgeous dress!

I'm so thankful & blessed to be able to capture the love between these two & I cannot wait for Kacey's bridals &, of course, their wedding day!"

Kacey Roberts and Jonathan McCoy are planning an October 18, 2014 wedding.  TWP will do our best to get those wedding pics for y'all.  Congrats, Kacey and Jonathan!  Have so much fun planning your big day!!!

Special thanks to Megan Winter Photography for making our blog so dang cute today!   Welcome to TWP, Megan!  We're looking forward to sharing much more of your work with our sweet viewers.  :)

That's it for today, lovelies.  HAPPY 2014 to you all!  Let's make this year count for eternity!  Here's to a NEW year filled with NEW hope, NEW joy and NEW beginnings!!!

XOXO,

Deborah

Adventure is this sweet couple's middle name and when paired with Camp Tahkodah and a photographer who's not afraid to take risks like Jon Yoder, it was a match made in heaven. . . or atleast the Arkansas outdoors!  From perfect Fall foliage to dreamy blue skies, it was a perfect day for this perfect and soon to be wed couple!  Meet Kevin and Brittney!

The dry crisp air of Fall in Arkansas is totally taunting me through these pictures on this nearly freezing day!  Oh, how we miss these few weeks of perfect weather and oh, so perfect views!  Kevin and Brittney shared many a memory while studying abroad together in Zambia and here at Camp Tahkodah where they will wed later this year.

Special thanks to photographer Jon Yoder for sharing such a fun and adventurous session!  Congratulations Brittney and Kevin!!!

XOXO,
Anne-Claire

Baby, it's coooold outside!  And with this Wintry weather, we wanted to give y'all a fun and very festive session today!  You may recognize this beautiful (and super successful) bride-to-be as she is the face behind The Property Group and the astonishing DIY home blog, Live the Home Life. Meet Cara Wilkerson and Michael Hazelwood!  They are just precious together!  These two wanted a relaxed, "snappy" looking e-session and Danielle Davis Art/Photography nailed it!  Grab a hot, hot cup of coffee, some wool socks and enjoy!!!  Brrrr, y'all!

Cara and Michael are set to jet off to Cozumel, Mexico to wed in March of this year!  We know that Mexico will be much warmer and that Cara will be stunning beach bride!

Special thanks to Danielle Davis Art/Photography for such a wonderful session and start to our day!  We hope that you all stay warm (and inside) today!  

XOXO,

I'm simply over the freezing temperatures, the brisk Winter air and the fear of my water pipes freezing any minute.  So, let's escape!  Let's virtually take our deserving brains to somewhere warm, sunny and full of ocean breezes!  Cue, the destination wedding of Lauren McConnell and Robert "Bear" Van Ness in Seagrove Beach, Florida!  Now that's perfect!  These Arkansans, grabbed their closest family, friends and the very talented, Lyndsey Sullivan of Lyndsey Sullivan Photography and escaped to the beach for their "I Do's"!  

 

I'm nearly sunburned already but be sure to check back this afternoon for many more drop dead photos by Lyndsey Sullivan Photography!  We promise you won't want to miss the ceremony and reception portion of this day!

XOXO,

Breathtaking might be an understatement for today's wedding that is allowing us to escape the frigid weather that's right outside our windows!  Forget the snow, throw on your bikini and welcome back to Part II of the McConnell-Van Ness wedding in Sea Grove Beach, Florida!  We were blown away by Part I and can hardly wait to share these awe-worthy ceremony and reception photos captured by Lyndsey Sullivan Photography!  

Congratulations Lauren and Bear!!!  Seagrove's nearly perfect beaches were the ideal backdrop for your big day!  Followed by a reception at V Seagrove, this spectacular evening capped off what most guests turned into a vacation of a lifetime.  We are thrilled for these newlyweds and so thankful that through Lyndsey Sullivan Photography's photos, we were able to escape from the currest state of snow, ice and sweaters. . .even if for just mere minutes!

XOXO,

Anne-Claire

Awwww, how cute are these two?!! Kate Cody and Austin Roden plan to exchange vows in May!  We wish them all the best as they plan their big day.  

Special thanks to Tyler Rosenthal Photography for sharing all this sweetness with TWP.   Tyler had this to say about the lovebirds:

"Austin and Kate are both current students at Ouachita Baptist University and are soon getting married! At Ouachita, there is a very big scholarship fundraiser production called Tiger Tunes. Kate was a hostess for the production and sang and danced between the different acts. Austin saw her, and was wowed. He decided to go for it! Well-- it worked out! Austin and Kate are getting married May 17th in Kate's hometown of Sulphur Springs, TX and I am so excited to shoot their wedding! They are perfect for each other. They're such a fun, caring, and goofy couple. We went out into some natural areas of Arkadelphia and got some beautiful shots." 

Till tomorrow. . .

XOXO,

Deborah
