He was led into the bridal suite of Chapel On The Creeks with his eyes closed. His daughter waited patiently inside. He quickly adjusted his tie in the mirror before allowing himself to steal a glance over his shoulder. She stood behind him in the mirror radiating. A smile beamed across his face. “You look […]

Is it weird to say that people can have things in common with buildings? Because between knowing just a small snippet of Danielle & Elliott’s story and reading the history of Cooper Memorial Chapel – they are both testaments of great faith. I cannot image a more appropriate place for the Kelley’s to begin their […]

This was my first time getting to photograph at The Reserve at Osage House. Let me tell you, it way surpassed the hype. Hailey and Brad put together a stellar team of vendors, including Corrie Childers Photography. I always love the opportunity to Second Shoot for Corrie, and this wedding was no exception. All of […]

I love what we have transformed the word elopement to mean. It used to mean running away without telling anyone. When we were getting married, Cory thought eloping meant just going to the courthouse. And while that’s not necessarily untrue, eloping has evolved to mean a small, intimate ceremony which may or may not include […]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll shout it from the rooftops every chance I get – the most important aspect of a wedding is the couple and their love. I knew from the moment I met Emily that her and Derrick’s Sassafras Springs Vineyard wedding would be exactly the embodiment of this motto. Emily was […]

The first time I met Caitlin and Jacob was at Heroes Coffee as we discussed what it would be like if they hired Shipman Photography for their Ballroom At I Street wedding in Bentonville, AR. I remember being so excited about their dreams for the day, but even more so about the ease of simply […]

Walking into 21C Museum Hotel Bentonville’s event space for Jessica and Greg’s wedding was a jaw-dropping experience. I had asked Jessica what her wedding colors were and was confused but intrigued when she told me “all of them.” I didn’t fully understand until I walked in and saw the stunning backdrop Silks-A-Bloom had created for […]

When we walked into The Ravington for Nichole and Chris’s wedding, there was just this air of peace. The guys were just hanging out in the groom’s area waiting to be told what to do, and the girls were ready with hair and makeup minus the finishing touches for Nichole. Only one other time have […]

When Rose contacted me about photographing her elopement, there was so much up in the air. No idea how C*VID protocols would effect everything.
