Lara and BJ are eloping in September, I am stoked to shoot their wedding even more now because of how unbelievably natural they were in front of the camera. It was like we were old friends. They were not afraid to show their lovey-dovey-ness in front of us, or the surrounding people at the fair. And there were a LOT of people there. We shot this yesterday at the Tontitown Grape Fesitval and had a blast! The lollipops and popcorn were my favorite. Not to mention the Ferris Wheel is pretty much always photogenic no matter what. The four of us even rode it in the end for the final shot! <br />

I just had to write a little bit about a conversation Emily and Gene had with us during the formal photos. They stated they weren't photogenic. I must say, I completely disagree! They are a very good looking couple and also, when our clients just be themselves, relax, and not worry too much about how they look during our shoots, they always look fantastic. Laughing helps a lot too. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is a interesting tidbit about the Chapel. Once a upon a time, a girl wanted to get married on her father's farm. With maybe some chairs, and a tent. But her father decided to build an entire chapel for her wedding. Ever since the chapel has been a beautiful place for ceremonies and receptions. We had a wonderful time photographing Gene and Emily's wedding in July. A very, very hot day, but we went outside real quick for a few snaps and than ran back inside to cool down. I recommend doing this for your formals even if its too cold, hot, or even rainy!

Apart from our business, we took in some sights at Garden of the Gods and <a href="http://www.pikes-peak.com/">Pikes Peak</a>. While Garden of the Gods was an experience in itself, Pike's Peak alone could make a good post. If you didn't know it stands 14,010 feet high and most of it is without guard rails. A harrowing drive for an ecstatic view and fabulous donuts that only cook at that altitude. The venue, <a href="http://www.briarhurstdining.com/">Briarhurst Manor Esate</a>, was built in 1872 and shows its age well from its antique wood paneling to its pink sandstone exterior. Corey and Christa's wedding was held outside under a small arbor with a view of Pike's Peak behind. After the ceremony we took advantage of where we were and headed to the Balancing Rock at Garden of the Gods for a few stunning and intimate photos with Corey and Christa. As you can tell they came out great. Overall it was a stunning trip that we will gladly take again. So...anyone getting married in Colorado soon? <a href="http://www.avenuehotelbandb.com/">The Avenue Hotel</a> was a cute quaint little bed and breakfast to get ready at, and the whole town has plenty of venues to offer. Corey and Christa we wish you all the best!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Wedding in Petit Jean Park<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">DIY Weddings! Some of my favorite weddings are the do-it-yourself ones. The positive: Gorgeous, one of a kind decorations and amazing food. The negative: lots and lots of time. Although, I think its worth it in the end. Alli and Justin had a small beautiful ceremony and reception that was almost a completely DIY, from their arbor they exchanged vows under to the wonderful reception food and homemade cookie favors. YUM! They also made those accents hanging from the trees. It was very hot outside (see the cake-melting image) but we had a fantastic time at <a href="http://www.petitjeanstatepark.com/">Petit Jean State Park</a> in Morrilton, AR. A park is an inexpensive great place to get married because all those trees surrounding your subjects makes for excellent backgrounds that fill the frame. They also look very fairy-tale like, if your wanting a 'magical' wedding. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-goc3tOAF6ZI/TkHR9Y8QTGI/AAAAAAAAAWU/a8xpDxOD8vQ/s1600/20110528-IMG_9297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-goc3tOAF6ZI/TkHR9Y8QTGI/AAAAAAAAAWU/a8xpDxOD8vQ/s640/20110528-IMG_9297.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-llA9KX8xx8U/TkCIOT1tZ9I/AAAAAAAAAVA/R_zVSXaCUw8/s1600/20110528-IMG_2027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-llA9KX8xx8U/TkCIOT1tZ9I/AAAAAAAAAVA/R_zVSXaCUw8/s640/20110528-IMG_2027.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V05w9m9h2Ds/TkCJKmMmnJI/AAAAAAAAAVM/lpg9D_ADJ6M/s1600/20110528-IMG_2190.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V05w9m9h2Ds/TkCJKmMmnJI/AAAAAAAAAVM/lpg9D_ADJ6M/s640/20110528-IMG_2190.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oHD3EfH76pA/TkCI0LG-z-I/AAAAAAAAAVI/wCjglx26mdA/s1600/20110528-IMG_2169.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oHD3EfH76pA/TkCI0LG-z-I/AAAAAAAAAVI/wCjglx26mdA/s640/20110528-IMG_2169.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m6B0q-mpfS4/TkHSk0NHwOI/AAAAAAAAAWg/OTnNBZyJpIs/s1600/20110528-IMG_9412.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m6B0q-mpfS4/TkHSk0NHwOI/AAAAAAAAAWg/OTnNBZyJpIs/s400/20110528-IMG_9412.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0VySws9AScU/TkHSZWqQFUI/AAAAAAAAAWc/OPaJDKgGZvA/s1600/20110528-IMG_9357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0VySws9AScU/TkHSZWqQFUI/AAAAAAAAAWc/OPaJDKgGZvA/s400/20110528-IMG_9357.jpg" width="266" /></a> <br />

I encourage every couple to make your own props, it adds a little extra thought and oomph to the shoot. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We started on downtown <a href="http://www.dicksonst.com/">Dickson Street in Fayetteville, AR</a> and headed to the bar where they met.

I love doing photo shoots for friends because you already know each other well and that automatically creates a non-weird session from the start. Kyle and Malinda do <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay">Cosplay</a> and are particularly popular in the Cosplay Universe for their amazing costumes they make. They do a lot of photoshoots already in their costumes therefore their posing was phenomenal. We barely had to direct them at all. We did this photoshoot in downtown <a href="http://www.eurekasprings.com/">Eureka Springs, AR</a> and the <a href="http://www.crescent-hotel.com/">Crescent Hotel</a>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Half of their engagement session was done in their Cosplay outfits, the King and Queen of Hearts, and the other half was done in their regular clothes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i1S30zPrbaQ/TfENaSF1zOI/AAAAAAAAANI/lcAwZr8LkLE/s1600/IMG_1575.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i1S30zPrbaQ/TfENaSF1zOI/AAAAAAAAANI/lcAwZr8LkLE/s640/IMG_1575.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H3r_GffIvy4/TfEUUJY4NnI/AAAAAAAAAOc/29DUPLW8c74/s1600/IMG_9153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H3r_GffIvy4/TfEUUJY4NnI/AAAAAAAAAOc/29DUPLW8c74/s640/IMG_9153.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

May was such a busy month for us, personally and professionally. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">On May 15 we headed out to Bella Vista for a wedding with an added detail we haven’t had yet: a third photographer. Excited at this added element we met the staff photographer for the event center </span><a href="http://www.simplepleasures.us/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Simple Pleasures</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">, </span><a href="http://www.simplepleasures.us/index.php/photos/lacey-kohl-photography/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Lacy Kohl</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">. She was such a pleasure to work with and we hope to work together again soon in the future.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">We started the day at Simple Pleasures with the bridal party getting ready. A few minor details were giving the groom some trouble, one of his groomsmen had a flat tire in Missouri and his shoes were completely coming apart. Of course, we call these minor details because we consider major details to be for example: the father having a heart attack at the reception or a tornado interrupting the ceremony. Or another example would be the bride or groom not showing up at the alter at all. What is most important at your wedding is that you are taking that first step into marriage and everyone is safe at your event. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">The ceremony took place at the </span><a href="http://www.beautifulbellavista.com/chapel.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Mildred B Cooper chapel in Bella Vista</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">. I particularly love shooting the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Fay_Jones"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">E. Fay Jones</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> Chapels because they are so easy to photograph, I can focus less on technical issues and more on capturing the emotion of the ceremony.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> We then headed back to Simple Pleasures again for the short reception. One of the many wonderful things about Simple Pleasures is you get to pick out your choice of classic car to use for the day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Overall it was a wonderfully cool and fun cloudy day, so we got some interesting shots outside trying out some new techniques with hardly any Photoshop work and everything done in camera. Congratulations Chadia and Tom! For your new marriage and your new family. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />

They are often not given their moment to shine. This photo shoot shows that engagement photos can be just as good as the wedding photos with a lot of hard work. Sure I could have gotten poison ivy in the woods; sure we drove through the mountains like mad people; sure it was sometimes cold and I felt like collapsing at the end of the day. But the photos show that it was all worth it. This is the hard work we want to provide and we encourage our clients to put into it just as much effort as we do. In the end we want to provide photos that will continue to inspire, amaze, and make you tear up even when you’re sixty-four. As for the story of our shoot...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> Leaving our usual destinations behind we headed out to the beautiful Ozarks and the small towns that inhabit them. Josh and Nakia made our job very easy, at every turn Nakia knew what she wanted and where. We visited Jasper, </span><a href="http://www.ozarkmountains.org/whitaker.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Whitaker’s Point</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> and were set to visit a covered bridge but it got washed away in the antediluvian rains of the past week. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> The photos at Whitaker’s Point were the most exciting. Despite careful planning for a sunset photo, the sun began to hide its face before we were ready. Now, Nakia and Josh are in excellent shape but the most exercise I get is occasionally playing soccer with some kids. They said we would have to hoof it and, in case you didn’t read the link, Whitaker’s Point hiking trail is three miles long up and down hill. After a few minutes I had completely lost sight of them and quickly began to feel like </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4qZrPX60bw"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Gimli, from Lord of the Rings.</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> It was all worth it though and the proof is in the photos.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Josh and Nakia met us outside a local diner </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><a href="http://www.thefrontporchinn.net/ozarkcafe.htm">Ozark Cafe</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> and we got started right away.

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">The best part of the place was the tiny alley way to the side filled with random bits of history and scrap. Nakia & Josh brought the set of license plates from the different states that defined their relationship: Florida where they met, Arkansas where they dated, Lousiana where they’re getting married and California where they will be living. Happily our awesome, new 16-35mm lens captured them with the plates perfectly.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18pt;"><br />

In other words, we try not to pose our couples and families unless needed. We tell our clients to be themselves in front of the camera. Too much directing causes them to be very posed and our style is more non-traditional. Of course, this will feel a little awkward at first, but eventually you will get used to the flow of things. This is exactly what we told Chadia and Tom for their engagement shoot in Downtown Rogers and Bella Vista, AR. I could tell Chadia felt this way because she would tell me, "I don't know what to do" a few times during their session. But when it came down to the end result, she didn't have a thing to worry about because they both looked natural and great the entire time. They loved them all and couldn't even chose a favorite. I ordered a custom guest book for them for their wedding and I can't wait to see the images printed in a book. It was very windy that day, and two of my heart balloons got away and floated into the sky. Here are a few samples from the shoot:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Ever. Photography + Me will be a big part of my life from now on. The honest truth for everyone to read is that I have never written a blog before. I am also not much of a writer. Futhermore, I don't read other people's blogs at all so I am not exactly sure where to begin. I do want to start blogging about my photoshoots however because they are just too much fun to keep it all to myself and my husband. I usually want my photographs to speak for themselves, however I believe they deserve captions from now on. Another goal I want to achieve for my blog is not just to blog about my photos. I want to help brides plan their weddings with the wisdom I have gained from the industry and from planning my own wedding 3 years ago. I'm very excited to say that I will be writing mini-articles on how to turn Cheap into Chic! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Here is a little info about me. I live in Springdale, Arkansas with my hubby, Joel Martin. He is my second photographer and comes on practically all my shoots with me. We both have digital media degrees as well as a photography degree for me. For the record, we are very thankful that we were able to actually use our degrees in real life, because how many people do that anyway? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">As you can tell from meeting my husband and I, we are laid back artsy hippies. And we have a ferocious yet lovable cat named Max. We don't have a lot of other distractions or children to prevent us from shooting destination weddings and we love to travel. And when we travel, we like the hole-in-the-wall places. I highly recommend them to any honeymooners reading this. I think for now that is everything on my mind at the moment this late, and please share our blogs to your friends as we are just starting out. We will be offering specials only available on our blog for Angela J Martin Photography. Check back later for photos and updates both Joel and I will be blogging about! </span><br />
