On a sunny June afternoon, we had the joy of capturing Haley and John’s engagement session. We were in one of the most charming places in downtown Little Rock — the Robert’s Library. Book-loving couples create unique and intimate memories with a library pre-wedding session. It also provides knowledge or simply quiet, cozy atmospheres for the photoshoot.
Far from typical outdoor shoots, these sessions leverage the distinct charm of a book hall to create images that are both romantic and deeply personal. And from the moment we met there, the couple’s excitement was contagious. They were all smiles, thrilled to capture this moment in their story before they said “I do” this November.

Book-Lover’s Engagement Session in Little Rock
We met at the charming Robert’s Library in Arkansas Little Rock, a perfect location for one-of-a-kind pre-wedding photos. This session is extra special since Haley is a devoted book lover with an ever-growing “to-be-read” list. We spent the first half of their session exploring the library’s cozy corners. Of course, Haley was happily surrounded by shelves of stories, plus her special someone.
John, who’s more of a manga and comic book fan, was just as excited to show off his favorite section. We took some really cute photos to remember the moment. The couple pose amidst towering bookshelves and share a quiet moment reading together comfortably on the floor.
We strolled around the reading room, soaking in the air conditioning before we had to brave the heat wave outside.
Engagement venue’s quick overview: The Bobby L. Roberts Library provides a crucial component for Arkansas Heritage and Culture. Housed in three restored 19th-century buildings, it features local stone, warm wood, and the unique Amagon bridge — a tribute to Arkansas heritage. Inside, visitors feel it’s warm through its art galleries, inviting bookstores, and rich archives; it’s more than just a research center — it’s a cultural landmark.

It didn’t matter when they powered through the sweltering heat because their radiant smiles and playful energy were all over the place. Even under the blazing sun, their connection and happiness shone through every photo.

How They Met and The Spoiled Surprise
Haley and John’s story is proof that moms do know best. Her mom worked with John and was 100% right that they would be the perfect couple. After a little persistence on her mom’s part, Haley agreed to meet him, and the rest is history.
On their first date, they went to dinner and had a Mexican. And it didn’t take long for them to realize they’d found “their person.” John realized it after about three months, while Haley recognized it about a month later. It was when she started missing him whenever he wasn’t around.
When the moment came, John planned everything perfectly before popping the question. However, a little pre-proposal excitement led to Haley’s sister accidentally spilling the beans! While the surprise proposal was spoiled, it did nothing to diminish the love and joy of the moment. John still got down on one knee, and the answer was a sweet and emotional “Yes!”
Their unforgettable engagement story is just one of many beautiful love stories to unfold in Little Rock’s famous library, setting the stage for the next chapter of their lives together..
