A long time ago, in a small town in northeast Oklahoma, I knew a guy named Marty. He was the son of our band director, and friend of my sister. He and his brother, Alex, were always around. They were just part of life in Kansas, OK... and they were always someone you could count on to help you get into trouble. Not bad trouble, just typical 1980s fun. Anyway, jump forward all these years and I found myself answering a phone call one night only to hear Marty on the other end. He was getting married to a woman named Lesa and they wanted me to shoot the wedding. What an honor. Genuinely. I don't know how to express how cool it was to be involved in this wedding.
It was a great day spent with friends, many whom I had not seen in decades, with the wedding taking place in West Siloam Springs, OK and then back across the state line into Siloam Springs, AR for the reception. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from their wedding day.
Oh, and Marty... I approve. Lesa is amazing. I hope you two have a lifetime of happiness.
Two years ago... well, technically, two years ago, yesterday, David and Jessica got married. I have known Jessica's family for a long time and have photographed several of the family members' senior portraits.... Jessica included. It's always an honor to be included in the wedding of someone who I've known for so long.
They were married at St. Peter's Catholic Church here in Mtn Home and then I joined them for the reception on Lake Norfork at what used to be Lydia's Weddings.
Congratulation guys on two amazing years. If I had a glass, I'd raise it in a toasting manner, but alas all I have at my desk is a cup of coffee.

Back in 2012, I met up with Elizabeth and Guy to photograph their engagement session in Scott, AR. Scott, just outside of Little Rock, is a small town, that for about 100 years has been home to Cotham's Mercantile. Cotham's is famous for amazing Southern cooking and hamburgers that are loved by folks all over the state. Last night, sadly, Cotham's was destroyed in a fire.
