Good Afternoon Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend with your family and friends.  On May 21st , Janie and I traveled to Carlisle , Arkansas to meet Lana at her parent’s home to capture some images of her getting ready.  Lana grew up on her parent’s fish farm and she had told us she wanted to have her first look on the fish farm.  I think Janie and I both had an idea of what we were getting into but really had no clue.  Though it was 3pm and not our usual shoot time.  The clouds , dirt roads and blue skies reflecting off of the fish ponds were the perfect backdrop for a first look.  It was just as amazing and perfect as the images will show!  From Lana’s parents home we traveled to Lonoke, Arkansas to the Southern Charm Wedding and Event House.  It’s a dreamy venue with so much to offer!  From what i hear everyone has their Wedding out in front of the Lake.  So, Lana switched it up a bit and had her Wedding in the barn.  Which made for the most amazing ceremony.  This Wedding had so many amazing details.  Janie and I were absolutely honored that Lana and Tanner chose us to capture their Wedding story.  A huge thanks to all of Lana’s friends and family.  You treated us like we have been part of the crew since the start. It’s easy to do a great job when people treat you so great and make you feel so good.  Thank you McCallie and Ball Families.  Thank you to all you amazing friends of their’s too!  It was fun!
