Craig and Bethany, you had a beautiful wedding and you both have wonderful families! We felt very welcome and enjoyed spending time with you this weekend. Here is a sneak peak at the events. When they are finished, you can view the entire day at http://www.millersalbums.com/?m=81087.

Felicia says she plans to have her wedding on the beach in California!

The time has come, the wait is over, it is time to become one...

Shannon, the cakes were beautiful and tasted heavenly! We look forward to hearing you sing and seeing your first record release!

And now...Mr. & Mrs. Craig Chu!

Monday morning, we met Lisa and Keith at Garven Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, for their engagement session. This was our first visit to the garden and it is such a beautiful place. The chapel at the garden is where Lisa & Keith will exchange vows and become a family on September 22. Here is a sneak peak at their fun morning!

There is nothing much more fun than playing under the waterfall!

Peaceful...

Romantic...

Love abounds-it shines in both of their eyes!

Looking up toward heaven in the bell tower.

Much more to come in the days ahead! See the complete event at http://www.millersalbums.com/?m=81087.

Looking ahead to August (which will be here before we know it), we will be at the Bridal Fair in Little Rock at the State House Convention Center. Please make plans to stop by for a visit. We would love to see you!

Job well done, Girls! :)

Natalie's wedding was a tremendous success! We had great fun and fellowship as we celebrated the union of our family with Dillon's. We hope that all who celebrated with us had a wonderful time. It was a memory that will be treasured as one of life's most precious times. Here are a few images that begin to tell the story of the evening.

Between formals and the beginning of "the walk"...we needed a minute to rest!
Thanks Turner for doing a terrific job as ring bearer!

And the girls say, so when do we get to dance?

It's time! Nat and Dill's first dance as Mr. and Mrs.

Daddy's dance...

Friends...that word says it all!

Cha-Cha-Cha to Mr. Mark's terrific music...

And then...Kim and Patrick. We met a couple of Fridays ago for their engagement session in downtown Conway. Kim and Patrick will exchange vows on December 1 of this year! It will be quite an honor to share an anniversary with this young couple. On this special day, as they begin their new life together, Ron and I will celebrate 28 years of marriage. Here are a few of our favorites from their session...

Isn't she beautiful? Yes, inside and out!

And she has found a terrific young man to share her life with.

Here is a link for complete viewing of Natalie's wedding pictures and Kim and Patrick's engagement pictures. http://www.millersalbums.com/?m=81087

Kim and Patrick's images will be up and available for viewing at the end of the week.

Friday, we leave for Helena to capture the uniting of Craig and Bethany. We have not been to Helena before, but are certainly looking forward to meeting this sweet couple's families. If the rest are anything like these two, it will be a blast and we will have lots of fun images to share! Craig and Bethany, we are excited about seeing you both this weekend and capturing all that you have in store.

As the newlyweds finish out their week of honeymoon, their pictures are in the final stages of processing. Lauren and Joe made a beautiful bride and groom and such fun people to work with. Here are a few samples of the day with the rest to be posted at http://www.millersalbums.com/?m=81087 this week for complete viewing.


Best friends take good care of each other...

Lauren & Joe, thank you for allowing us to have such a special part in your special day. We are honored and feel like we have made many special friends in the process. We hope you had a fun and relaxing week after all of your hard work in planning and putting things together! We will talk to you soon.

The month of May was a busy month with finishing bridal portraits, family portraits and getting grooms books and guest books ready for upcoming weddings! June is off to a roaring start with Natalie's wedding leading the way on Friday the first and Lauren's on its heels Saturday the second. Both were absolutely beautiful! We hosted Natalie's reception here at the house with a tropical theme, complete with tiki torches and a newly constructed waterfall into the pool. It made for a busy week preceding the wedding with the threat of rain most days, but the Lord was gracious and all came together beautifully and we had a wonderful time! Thanks to Mark Manning of Music N Motion, our DJ friend who had super fun choices of music for relaxing and dancing. It is a night that will not soon be forgotten. Wedding pictures of both girls will follow in the next week or so, but here are a few of their bridals, now that the grooms have seen their brides!

Isn't she beautiful?...

Feeling a little funky...

Attitude is what it's all about!

Joe, you picked a winner! She's beautiful inside AND out!

Now for Natalie...

At the capital...look at those eyes!

This image can be found in our ad for Broker*Agent Magazine of Arkansas, June issue...

Doesn't she look like an angel?

NOW, an angel with an attitude...wonder where she gets that?

One more...........

Thomas, we say you look like an angel here, your mama says that is deceiving...we aren't so sure she's right! :)

another couple of sweet faces...

What fun! Mom and Dad said we could!

Everybody needs a best friend.

Life in the fast lane...that is what it feels like these days. You blink and eye and a day is gone. You turn around and a month has passed. It doesn't seem like any time ago that Natalie and Dillon decided on a wedding date and now it is a week from today! I looked at our blog tonight and realized it had been 6 weeks since we had communicated here! A lot has transpired in that amount of time. We have photographed families, another cover and feature story for Broker Agent magazine, bridal portraits for several brides in various locations and a 20th anniversary renewal of vows wedding at the Mildred Cooper Memorial Chapel in Bella Vista, Arkansas! In the midst of this, our computer began having "issues" so after several days of trying to work out the issues, decided that the best thing to do was replace it. Not at all what we wanted to spend money on at this time, but a very necessary thing. This computer issue put us behind several sessions of finishing pictures, but we are finally caught up. Just in time for the wedding of our first born and reception here at our home. Tropical is the theme and we hope to host a wonderful time for all that attend!

I plan to post some favorite pictures of the past 6 weeks in the coming days, but if it ends up being several days, you will know that wedding preparations took more time that I anticipated. Imagine such a thing! Good night for now...
