I introduce you to the smallest of small town weddings I’ve ever photographed. Character percolated through the people, the details, and especially the moments. Even though Stephanie and Jordan decided to make time before the ceremony for photographs (thank you!!!), it was such a sentimental ceremony. I won’t soon forget her walking down the aisle. Jordan, I’m sure, won’t ever.

We were forced to work with the bright mid-day light- but sorry, Sun. We win.

Thanks for blogstalking Stephanie and Jordan (okay, and me!)

Dover, Arkansas

I have no words to justify the beauty, love, silliness, crazy red jeans, and cute outfits I hold before you.

To be completely honest, this was one of the most difficult shoots that I have ever accomplished. Arkansas is vast and rich with mountainous diversity, but it was completely foreign to me. That, along with the fact that I had no way to scout beforehand and no idea what would lay before us made this a nervous journey that thankfully has ended up becoming now one of my favorites of all time. David, Lori, and Presli. We looooove you.

RED JEANS ALERT! (Yes, I made David wear these and yes, we all did later go to dinner in those outfits.)I love this next series as well. I SO WISH I would have had some crazy cute photos like this when I was little.

Oh yes. A quick snapshot of David threatening his life with a stunt of climbing out on the ledge of a MOUNTAIN. For some reason, we didn’t really think of how dangerous this really was until later… Once again, I stress the word MOUNTAIN. Like the kind I was too afraid to get close to the edge standing up so instead I crawled over to take a look.

Thanks for blogstalking!-A

Just ’cause I’m feeling a little sassy.

My BFF, Erin, has The. Best. Teeth. No joke, when I went to the dentist I asked him to make my teeth look like hers. Never underestimate what I’ll ask someone to do for a ring photo…or any photo in general. Happy Thursday!

To all of our brides, grooms, dear friends, fellow photographers, and family, I thank you all for your continued kind words of sympathy and encouragement.  To all of you who don’t follow my ever boring/lackluster tweets lately, you’d soon find out that its been QUITE a tough road for the Wilcher household. More ailments and maladies than I care to tell (or for that matter, gross you out with) we have encountered this past 4 weeks just short of the dreaded “Swine Flu”. I’m convinced that’s all that’s left apart from any non-life threatening infirmity that I could encounter. (Hey listen, we run this together and in the same germ-ridden household!)

Apart from the whole non-super-human-being thing, we are absolutely trying our best to catch up as much as we possibly can between sleeping, breathing, and the occasional (or not so occasion) meal. Believe me. Really. We actually LOVE our jobs and each of you that have become an integrated part of our lives. We sincerely thank you all for your understanding that unfortunately, I am not made of unearthly Red-Bull infused human stamina, yet rather a real human who does have pain and stress too. Thankfully, what I’ve dubbed my “H1N1 pills” are gone…at least until my Witch doctor tells me I have to finish those dreaded EVILS. We are wholly much better and are making leaps and bounds in progress and are happy to be able to finish editing, return emails, and obviously blog. So all in all, we promise our weddings and sessions are still our love and priority. Hooray to progress!!!! XOXOXOX : ) -A

Can you be infected with love also? I severely hope so.

The way I’ve witnessed love between Chelsea and David has been unsurpassed in my history of love stories. Yes, really. I have always just felt the excitement and love radiate through every sweet smile, laugh, and every endearing tear. Without sounding too trite, they are they resounding reason I love my job. David and Chelsea held a sweet ceremony at a private residence in Geist Reservoir. (C+D, thank you for being so very kind and patient while waiting for this!)

Stunning.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Reveals. Once again, they literally said it was THE best choice they made for their wedding day.

Can you get a better backdrop?!

I’ll admit it. I have a sick love for pretty skies.Cute-O-Meter BROKEN! (p.s. It’s my blog and I can post as many cute red lawn chair photos as I want.)

And of course some highlights of the ceremony and reception. Cheers, -A
