Arkansas Wedding Photography

Morgan and John may be the sweetest couple I've ever met. Initially, when they came in to meet me for their Wedding consultation, I could tell right away that they were going to be tons of fun to photograph. 

Morgan and John were planning to marry in an open field on a beautiful June day. With the chances of rain increasing daily, they made the decision to  move their Wedding to a nearby barn. It stormed like crazy on their big day. I'm not talking about just heavy rain; it really, really stormed! 

Right before John and Morgan began to say "I do", the sun came out and it was a flawless afternoon. I can't wait to share their images, and their love story with you!



John and Morgan certainly weren't going to let a little storm get them down. They both relaxed with their family and friends waiting on all of their guest to arrive. The boys spent their time in the barn watching the horse races.



 Morgan shares how she knew John was "the one".





" The first time we met I had went to a party with my sister who was dating one of Johns friends. I thought he was cute, but I was dating someone at the time. Almost a year went by, I had recently split up with my boyfriend and my sister started bugging me about this John guy. So of course we did what most girls do, we Facebook stalked him. 

In almost every picture he was either riding a four-wheeler, standing by a four-wheeler, or helping someone get their four-wheeler out of a mud hole. I was a littler leery, but my sister assured me he was a great guy. We started messaging on Facebook and a couple weeks later he ask me to go on a date. He took me to a place called "toad suck bucks" which is this little restaurant in the middle of no where that used to be a garage. I was scared at first, but it turned out to be really good. On our second date we went to a Randy Rogers concert with our friends and we had a great time. Then thanksgiving rolls around and it's time to meet his family. They were so nice and down to earth and almost all of them had on overalls, their daily attire. Instantly I knew I wanted to be a part of this family. 

John is the most honest, genuine, kindhearted person I know. His ability to put up with me on a daily basis is amazing and he works hard everyday. He is dedicated to his family, church, and friends. Not long after we started dating I knew I couldn't let this guy go. Almost two years later he proposed to me on his front porch before we headed out to a Randy Rogers concert. It was November 16th and I had just got off of work. I had told him to go get some new clothes for the concert so when he was standing on the porch all dressed up I didn't think much of it. Then I realized that he had bought our dog, Sadie, a sweater. That's when I knew something was up because he hates dog clothes as much as the dogs do. I walked up on the porch and he said "I got you some flowers". He swung them out from behind his back and had this big goofy grin on his face, which it was my birthday after all so I still hadn't really caught on. Then I bent down to pet Sadie and tied to the sweater was a ring. I grabbed it and slapped it on my finger before John could even say anything and then I looked at him and he nervously ask "will you marry me?". We went to the concert, had a wonderful time, and on June 7th I walked down the isle to a Randy Rogers song and married my best friend."

John and Morgan-- It was my honor to document your love for one another. You two are such a genuine, sweet couple and I am grateful to have been a part of your Wedding Day! May God continue to bless your sweet Marriage!
