Erika and Jacob’s wedding day was filled with unforgettable moments, each adding a perfect touch to their beautiful love story. On June 8, 2024, Arkansas gave us another hot summer day, and after a whirlwind start, we were ready to take photos of the bride getting into her dress. Her lovely mother assisted her into her stunning gown and secured her even more stunning veil to her head. The room filled with excitement and joy as she wore the lovely veil. With one last adjustment, Erika looked radiant, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She was ready to walk down the aisle to her forever love. It was truly a magical moment.

A Father’s Pride and a Couple’s Perfect Touch
We had the first look with Erika’s dad, and the moment was pure emotion—he couldn’t hold back his tears as he saw his little girl dressed in her stunning gown. It was such a heartfelt moment, filled with love and pride. Then came the first touch and private vow reading between Erika and Jacob. Standing and holding hands on either side of a wall, they exchanged their heartfelt words without seeing each other. The air was thick with emotion, and, of course, Erika teared up a bit as Jacob’s loving promises brought a soft smile to her face. It was a beautiful, intimate moment that set the tone for the rest of the day.
As the ceremony approached, everyone lined up and walked down the aisle, eager to support Erika and Jacob as they tied the knot. When Jacob saw Erika approaching, his face lit up with excitement. Jacob’s grandfather officiated the ceremony, which added a heartfelt touch to the occasion. Additionally, there was some playful kidding around in the ceremony between Jacob and his grandfather which was just the perfect touch, in my opinion.
A Melting Cake and a Joyous Send-Off
Once they were married it was time to get to family photos and the reception. When we entered the reception, we noted that the cake was not quite standing straight. We ignored it and went on about the order of events. They were eating, dancing, bride and groom photos. However, when we returned inside for the second time, the cake had progressively worsened. So, it was time to cut the cake before gravity did the job for them! 😆
As the evening came to a close, the newlyweds made their grand exit through a tunnel of glowing sparklers, surrounded by the cheers of loved ones. It was a magical end to a day filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable memories. The couple had a blast celebrating their love, and I’m grateful to have captured these special moments. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
