I’ve been so excited about shooting Grant & Brittany’s wedding since meeting them at their engagement session in February. As Brittany told me about all the sweet, southern details they were going to be incorporating into their wedding, I started dreaming of what their wedding day would be like. Well, let me just say, it far exceeded my expectations! Grant & Brittany were married at the Linger Longer house (cutest name ever, right?!) in Clarendon, Arkansas, and I had such an amazing time capturing their day. After almost seven years together, these high school sweethearts are finally enjoying life together as husband and wife, and I could not be more excited for them! Enjoy my favorites from their day!

I just LOVE hydrangeas, and lucky for me, their wedding was full of them!

Brittany’s bouquet carried an arrowhead and plane in memory of both her & Grant’s fathers.

How incredible is this vintage jewelry? The earrings belonged to her grandmother, and the bracelet was Grant’s grandmother’s. :)

I somehow always luck out with the most beautiful brides, and I also luck out with the prettiest mother of the brides! Karen, you’re beautiful!

Grant’s tie is hands-down my favorite tie I’ve ever shot! You really can’t go wrong with cotton!

Warning: Your heart is about to explode. Meet Wyatt, Grant & Brittany’s nephew and ring bearer.
He carried Grant’s father’s Bible and wedding ring down the aisle, which was such an amazing way to honor his memory..jpg "2013-05-23_0152")

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Ligon!
.jpg "2013-05-23_0156")
I’m trying to get into the habit of taking a picture with my couples on their wedding day. Please excuse the fact that I have almost no makeup on…
It was just a LITTLE hot on their wedding day, and I sweat like a linebacker in August. Yeah… Gross.
All that aside, I really do love these amazing people who have become friends!
