buffalo river

First of all, let me say that the area around the Buffalo River near Ponca and Jasper is one of my favorite places in the world.  We actually own land and a small cabin not far from Ponca and I absolutely love it there.  There's just something about the mountains and the unpopulated gorgeous landscape that makes my heart skip a beat. :)  So, naturally, I was excited when Shannon and Dana wanted a rustic country atmosphere for their portraits and agreed to meet us there.  They drove all the way from Benton, AR hauling their Harley Davidson motorcycle just for an engagement session!  (Too bad they were having a destination wedding far away!)  Seriously, though, Shannon and Dana were great to shoot.  We had so much fun running around in the fields and the woods and the old homesteads.  Hope you enjoy the portraits as much as we enjoyed creating them!! :)

So...it has again been forever since I blogged. lol  The good news is, I'm going to be having a super cool guest blogger on Wednesdays now!  I'll make a better announcement about that later, though. ;)  For now, I have to share a few portraits from a wedding we shot last month.  Tyler and Valarie got married at Thorncrown Chapel here in Eureka Springs and held their reception at the Crescent Hotel in the Crystal Dining Room.  Unlike most destination weddings here in Eureka Springs, we were actually able to shoot a day after session with them!  They dedicated the ENTIRE day after their wedding to portraits with us, and even though it was pouring down rain most of the time - it was AWESOME!! We shot the day after session around the Buffalo River (one of our fave places in the world) then went to dinner in Jasper and just had a lot of fun.  Needless to say, I totally LOVE this couple. :)  Here are just a few of their images - with many more to come!
