Garvan Gardens Wedding Photography 09.22.2009

Last weekend I found myself in the Natural State, Arkansas for a wedding near Hot Springs at Garvan Woodland Gardens. The place was amazing! The location was so cool, the couple is gorgeous, the families were awesome... I know the groom's family since I shot an older sister's wedding a few years back and the brides family just expended their Southern hospitality and made us feel so welcomed. I love shooting the siblings of past clients and I also love it when the clients make the extra effort to fly my in to shoot... I feel extra special because they obviously really wanted me to be a part of their day and I take a lot of pride in that.

This was a fun wedding. It had moonshine, a gelato bar, cute bridesmaids and a politically charged cake topper and the ceremony took place in a glass chapel in the middle of the woods. Here are a few of my favorite "Relaxed Portraits, Amazing Details and Real Moments". As usual, be sure to vote for your favorites:

I do love when the couple decides to see each other before the ceremony. I seems to make the day go a lot smoother and it's so nice to just get the photos out of the way before the ceremony, that way you can just celebrate with your friends and family afterwards. These guys had a nice first look moment at the historic Arlington Hotel.
