Liz and Joe are two of the most wonderful people I've had the honor of photographing. Liz is a long-time friend of my husband's and I was thrilled when she asked me to do her wedding! We did their engagements in Little Rock at the River Market and finished up at the same bridge where Joe proposed. I wasn't there for the proposal, but I imagine he grinned really big and she covered her mouth with both hands as excited as a little girl on Christmas. I'm guessing that because I saw them do this exact same routine about 3 times on their wedding day, and each moment was so precious it made me cry each time. You'll get to see this in the pictures :)

The sweet couple was married at Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock. She told me the church was huge, and I was like "Yeah, okay" until I got there. The church was built using the same plans as a mall in Texas. I would compare it to an airport easily. Forgive me if I add or forget something in this list, I'm going from memory. There were four enormous entrances, 3 different worship areas, a wedding chapel, a massive two-story kids' wing with two huge entrances of it's own, a bookstore and a cafe, 2 or 3 playgrounds, and this was all that I could see from the lobby. I'm sure there was much, much more that I missed. We only used one entrance for the pictures, but with a 20 person wedding party I was glad that the church was so big.
