Mandy & Gavin's Vintage Wedding: The Portraits

Mandy and Gavin are naturals in front of the camera as you may be able to tell.  Their wedding portraits were photographed at Creekwood Gardens in Rogers, AR.  I am in love with Mandy's birdcage veil, it really pulls together the vintage details throughout their wedding day.  Here are some of my favorites of the bride and groom. 

 

 

Mandy & Gavin's Vintage Wedding: The Details & Sweet Moments

Mandy and Gavin's wedding was a vintage inspired romantic event with burlap, lace, and antique pearls.  Her colors, lavender and cobalt blue, stood out against the fall background beautifully.  They were married on 10.13.12 at Creekwood Gardens in Rogers, AR on a day that was mostly cloudy. 

Everyone was very happy the rain decided to hold off after the ceremony and just as we were getting into our cars after the bride and groom formal shots.  I still don't know how we pulled that off with tornados touching down that evening across town.  Everyone was too busy to notice, celebrating the night away at the reception venue, Serendipity, in downtown Rogers, AR.  

This was one heck of a wedding and I'm so thankful to have the honor of photographing Mandy and Gavin's big day.  I had a very hard time choosing what photos to preview here, I could have posted many more.  Here are some of my favorite photos that help tell the story and describe the details of their day as well as some sweet moments.  Stay tuned for wedding portraits in the next blog post.  My favorite!

Albums, Albums, Albums...

I love to offer high end albums for wedding clients.  There are photographers in the NWA area who offer digital files to you so you can print your own albums however you want... wherever you want, sure they're out there...

It sounds great, but really do you want to pay a photographer to hand over the photos for YOU to fend for yourself in album production?  I am not joking when I say I love to be able to provide brides with high quality albums so they can showcase their wedding time and time again.  You pick out your favorite photos and I do the rest...  It's that simple.

It's important to have tangible wedding photos from the most important day in your life.  Digital photos or pictures on a CD only go so far, as far as your computer can run on two legs.  Bean Snaps is here to produce a tangible momento that will last forever.

War Eagle Mill Family Session

This post is long overdue but I definitely wanted to share this session I shot over the summer.  This was photographed early in the morning at War Eagle Mill in Rogers, AR.

Mandy & Gavin Engagement Session

Check out this awesome engagement shoot featuring a beautiful couple and one that is close to my heart.  Mandy and Gavin were easy to photograph and made my job a piece of cake.  They are naturals in front of the camera.  We photographed their engagement session in the heart of Bentonville on an overcast day.  Later that week we met up again outside of Lowell to get those photos with the gorgeous light.  The field was perfect to get intimate shots and low and Behold their was a honeysuckle grove tucked behind the trees.  Score!  


Mandy is a great friend of mine, actually the very first chick I met when I moved to Rogers the summer before 11th grade :)  Her mom was our real estate agent and hooked us up with a home.  It's crazy how things work out down the road.  I was ecstatic to photograph Mandy and Gavin's engagement photos and can't wait for her vintage fall wedding this October!!
