Murphy | Anniversary | Mississippi Adventure & Elopement Photographer

When another photographer trusts you to capture some memory, some milestone, some event; that is the biggest ego boost that I will ever experience. To know that someone out there who has immense talent in the same field trusts you implicitly is just insane. In the best way imaginable.

Months and months past, I announced my waterfall sessions and Hadonica responded immediately; wanting all the details, even though I didn't have them hammered out at the time, amateur of me, I know.

Through some major planning, hiring sitters, taking off work and the stars and moons and Jupiter FINALLY aligning, we were able to plan and shoot their anniversary session; and it was monumental.  I've said it at least a thousand times, but it's sessions like this that fill me up. This is why I do what I do. To document it. It being the love, the emotion, the realness, the rawness that is being in a committed long term relationship.

These waterfall sessions make my heart so happy, it could just burst! I have one more date for waterfall sessions THIS FALL and then they won't be offered again until next spring.

As always, thanks for reading. Thanks for following along. Thanks for investing in my work.
It means the world to me.

Mr. & Mrs. Ray | Mountain Elopement | Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Remember these two? Yeah, they're adorable, I know.

They've been together since pretty much junior high and once they got engaged, Liana knew she didn't want a big wedding and that they would get married in a fun place, surrounded by the ones who love them the most.

When she contacted me about a destination wedding close to home, but still a 'destination,' Petit Jean was my first thought. Liana ventured out there with her sister to scope it out, and immediately called me; WE ARE GETTING MARRIED AT PETIT JEAN!! She literally called in February, asked what days I had available in March and we made a plan.

And the plan was perfect.

Liana and Randy were married by her sister on the side of a mountain overlooking a large valley surrounded by family. It was so special. Just the two of them, their parents, and siblings, sharing this wonderful day.

If you're thinking that maybe a big wedding isn't for you, then don't do it! It's your wedding. Do what fits you. Run away, elope; the goal is for you to be together, the pomp and circumstance surrounding it isn't what matters; it's the unending love and intention of spending your life with that person...start your journey how you want, not how your family or friends want.

Congrats on a PERFECT day Mr. and Mrs. Ray, thank you for letting my family tag along!
