Intimate Buffalo National River Wedding

Our intimate little outdoor wedding was July 13th, 2018 on a perfectly sunny day centered around Buffalo National River in Ponca, AR! It was everything we could have hoped for & I mean that earnestly. Even better, we've got these photos from Jo & video from Jordan to remember exactly how our best day ever played out! Thank you so much to everyone who helped, showed up, sent gifts, offered encouragement, & prayed for us. God is so, so good.

In the past year since our wedding we have gotten so many questions about who/what/where/how we made it happen, so I’m super excited to share all the details here from our big day! The list below includes all of our vendors with links + extra information & I’ll more-than-happily answer any other questions here, on social media, or email.

Lastly, this wedding was 100% us, just like I hope all of your wedding days are 100% you! My own wedding was exactly the kind of wedding day I would like to be a part of behind the camera, so if you’re interested in putting together something intimate that speaks to exactly who you are, let’s make it happen together!
A little about our day’s documentarians // We chose Jo to photograph our day because she’s a dear friend, business ally, & super talented photographer who we knew we could trust to capture our day the way we wanted. Jordan on video has worked with us at other weddings so seamlessly because our personalities & values match, so I knew her work on our wedding would reflect that. If I’m not that person for you, find someone who is! Someone who can tell your truth is well worth it for a lifetime of tangible memories.

Now for the photos!
