We photographed Kendle and Glen’s Wedding on the 30th of December. We had the privilege to photograph their Engagement Session back in the summer, and got know these lovebirds a little bit. You really only need 10 seconds with these two to know that they are absolutely in love, head over heels,nuts about each other. Their wedding was no different. We appreciated their realness. They just couldn’t wait to be married to each other. They were married at Fellowship Bible in Lowell, AR and their reception was there as well. They had decided to do the theme from the PIXAR movie “UP”. It’s a great one!  They had Kelly from  The Balloon Closet in Siloam Springs create these Massive Balloon centerpieces that made this incredible canopy of color in the reception hall. It was really incredible. I wanted to steal one to take home to our kids. We would have been Hero’s! Anyway, Here are some of our favorites from their wedding day. Enjoy!

Reagan was there. Weird yet so awesome Groom’s cake

Last year, Jonathan bought a Motorbike. Last year we went to BBB, and this year, we made it an annual tradition. I’m not sure how I feel about this new sub-culture I’m suddenly a part of, but I do know, I will not be wearing leather chaps anytime soon.

Biker info:  This is the 3rd largest Rally in the US! Amazing!

NonBiker info: Don’t go to Fayetteville the first weekend in October, you will just get mad.

Here are some photos I took along the way… Enjoy!

Yes, I HAD to wear the tallest boots I owned. I didn’t want to look like a total poser.

This is our bike, and by ours I mean Jonathan’s. I can’t ride it, and I don’t want to.

If you have never been BBB on Dixon street, here is a peek at what they do. They ride up and down Dixon, rev their engines until you experience pain, then drive around and do it again. For hours. Every night. And as much as I don’t want to admit it. I kind of enjoy it. I know, what has happened to me?! I should see someone about that.

Aww, look the Easter Bunny!

The constant rumble kept the decibel meter at a 95. This is without gratuitus engine revving.

Oh look, Santa! Guess this is his plan B transport if Global warning keeps up.

No, this is NOT Jonathan. Just some college kid who had a few too many. Glad to know he wouldn’t be on the road.

Most of these folks, are really fun though, and not the meanie biker gang type that they have often been mistaken to be.  Although I think she may have a glow-stick addiction.

My ears are ringing and my lungs are full of smoke and exhaust. Time to hit the road. See ya, BBB!

We got to drive around Little Rock and get a couple of shots, before the reception. They are both so fun, and up to whatever, even jumping off  stairs in a wedding dress!  We got to chat with them in the car, and hear about their work in China.  and plan to go back in a year. Anna speaks the language, and Nathan is well on his way. They have both lived and worked in China for the past year or so. They have a great story. Seriously, we get to work with the most amazing and fascinating people. We are so honored that they chose us to document their day. Here are some of our favorites from their wedding day. Enjoy!

On the day of Jonathan drove up to Kansas City, and scouted out the vantage point, and waited. After Matt had taken her to all the planned locations, he would pop the questions at the final location, where Jonathan would be cleverly hidden behind some bushes and could capture the whole thing. He made some “friends” with the local mosquitoes,  and they were happy to have him for lunch,:) It was all totally worth it, because he caught an amazing moment, first hand. And the best part? She had no idea!

Enjoy these.

And then a little surprise after party, with the family.

If you are a a guy thinking of popping the question to your girl, and want something like this, give us a call 479-238-3832 and we will set up a fantastic “Will You” shoot, just for you.

The Botanical Gardens, several secret spots and fun areas, we always love photographing there. The light was really beautiful, and we were able to steal them away for a few shots during dancing. The party was really hopping with DJ Kenny from Tulsa playing some great songs. He kept people dancing, although I don’t think the groom needed much to get him on the dance floor. He was tearing it up out there, you’ll see as you scroll through. All in all a great summer wedding, wonderful couple, fantastic party, and a beautiful night!

Enjoy the photos! Congrats to Bryan and Amanda! We wish you abundant blessings in your life together!

First Look! We love this willow branch-y nest tube thingy (technical term), it makes us happy!

See…he was having fun. No doubt about it.

Ok, back to the wedding. They were married at Chapel on the Creeks in Rogers, Ar. They had a beautiful ceremony, and I loved all the excitement and anticipation of the big day, they just looked so genuinely excited for this day to finally be here. Natalie and Cooper have lived apart for most of their engagement, which had to have been so hard. He is in the military and stationed in the Pacific NW, where they now make their home. Their reception was held at Pinnacle Hills Country Club in Rogers, which is a stunning place. The gorgeous wood everywhere and sweeping views of the pristine golf coarse was amazing. We really enjoyed their wedding, and spending time with them, we wish them lots of love and blessing in their life together! Enjoy the photos!

She’s a school teacher, and had picked up this sweet little book that they read to each other.

Hahaha! I love this next set!

Taylor and Lindsey are a fun loving couple, we have enjoyed getting to know them. They are very natural together, and have the same sense of humor. We are sure that they will have lots of laughs together. Here are some of our favorites from their wedding.  Enjoy!
