Fort Smith Wedding Photographer | Oops… Missed one

Filed under: engagement, urban, wedding — AJ @ 3:32 am

I just realized that I missed one of the images that was supposed to go up from Robby & Jackie’s engagement photo session. It should have gone in Part 2 but somehow it got overlooked. Instead of putting it in the post after the fact, I’ll just give it it’s own post. Why not, right? Enjoy!

Fort Smith AR Engagement Photographer | Robby & Jackie…part 2

So now we present part 2 of Robby and Jackie’s freezing cold engagement session. (Part 1 is here)
After freezing their …ahem, we drove across Ft Smith for some more outdoorsy photos. Probably not your typical engagement photos, but I wanted to try something different. Maybe edgy, maybe modern, maybe just strange, but something out of the ordinary.  Especially the contrast of the dilapidation and the dress clothes Jackie and Robby were sporting. It finally started getting dark (I’d been waiting not so patiently for dusk to finally come), so we broke out the big ol’ softbox and went to work. Aside from wanting to get some great images in the style I love to shoot, I also have been wanting to work with our flashes more outdoors. And since our new softbox showed up the day before the shoot, the timing for trying it out was perfect. But I digress, on to the images…

I’ll say it again, the first senior (or junior) to book their senior session with us that mentions this blog post will get a discount… not saying what, you’ll have to book to see what it is. Oh, and since I’ll be trying some new stuff, that means there will be more images to choose from and your session might go longer than normal (at no additional cost of course) - but hey, it’s another bonus, right?
And just for the sake of…well, just because, I’ll also extend that offer to couples. Mention this blog post and get a discount!

Fort Smith AR Engagement Photographer | Robby & Jackie…part 1

So we’ll start with the first half of Robby & Jackie’s Fort Smith Engagement session, and tomorrow we’ll finish it up with the second half.

For this shoot I was going for a more high-end fashion look and I like love how they turned out. Of course it helps when your models are dressed so well… And when they don’t show how cold they were (like wind chill of 35 degrees or something…frigid!). Congratulations on your engagement and look forward to shooting your wedding in May.

Anyway, this is the kind of shoot I love doing: creative, different, fashionable… so make sure to give us a call if this kind of shoot would interest you too! It would also work very, very well for a senior. In fact, the first senior (or their parent) to mention they saw this and want a shoot like it will get a discount. ‘Cause I’ve got some more things I want to try…

Remember these two from their firehouse engagement shoot? This evening we went up to Fayetteville to get some more ‘traditional’ engagement shots. After walking around the campus for awhile, we went down to Dickson St for a few more frames before it got too cold. (fall is definitely here!) Can’t wait to shoot your wedding, March will be here before you know it!!mashley_0177amashley_0007mashley_0194mashley_0241bmashley_0005mashley_0135bmashley_0066mashley_0188mashley_0107bmashley_0130mashley_0079mashley_0103mashley_0076mashley_0177bmashley_0071c

Filed under: couples, engagement, urban — AJ @ 1:59 am

So, before Saturday, we’d never done an engagement session with a dog… but since Saturday we’ve done two! Crazy! This great couple is getting married this fall. They were so worried they weren’t “posing right” for the camera… I’d say they did a great job See ya in the fall!
