It was a scorching day in Little Rock, AR, but the heat couldn’t keep us from capturing beautiful and sweet bridal portraits of Alexis. Despite the temperature, many were out soaking in the city’s vibrant energy, adding to the lively atmosphere. As we strolled through downtown, we saw locals and tourists biking, walking, and making the most of the sunny weather in the heart of the city.
Amidst the heat, we found pretty locations with good and clean lighting (my photographer’s heart thrives on good lighting). From the shaded spots in the parks to the charming streetscapes, downtown Little Rock was full of perfect photo opportunities, making the warm day well worth it.
Unveiling Traditions: Sessions with Alexis and James
Sweet Bridal Portraits at Lob Lolly
We went to Lob Lolly Ice Cream for some creatively fun bridal shots, and the whimsical atmosphere set the perfect scene. Alexis posed elegantly in the shop’s window, her stunning bridal gown contrasting beautifully with the vibrant colors of the ice cream parlor. As soon as she ordered her cone and a few delicate macarons, we could feel the excitement of the images that could be created.
Then I had her sit and snack very carefully, capturing her delightful expressions as she savored each bite. The combination of her bridal elegance and the playful vibe of the shop created a magical moment that blended sweetness and sophistication, making for unforgettable photographs.
Romantic Adventures With Alexis And James Engagement Session
Behind the Scenes with a Mother’s Touch
During Alexis’s bridal session, her mother was an absolute lifesaver, helping to keep everything running smoothly. She was always there, ensuring we captured shots with and without the veil, and adjusting the sleeves for different looks. Her mom helped create a beautiful bouquet for her, even though the original wasn’t ready, making sure every detail was perfect. She bought the flowers from a store and created the bouquet herself, and they looked absolutely AMAZING!!! Her presence truly made the day flow effortlessly.
Alexis’ bridal session was a beautiful collaboration between mother and daughter that reflected the closeness of their bond. At the same time, she effortlessly combined grace with a touch of fun, a quality I’m sure her husband, James, truly treasures. Want to see more of their wedding day? Click the link.
