Mike & Mariah | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography

Last weekend's wedding with Mike and Mariah was lots of fun. The summer heat hasn't completely set in yet so the temperatures were just right and the weather opted to ignore the 40% chance of rain and remain mostly sunny for their outdoor celebration. Family and friends gathered on the lawn of Old Main for the beautiful outdoor ceremony which was officiated by Mike's grandmother. Special props to the flower girl who decided to just "get it done" with the flower petals. Then, it was off to an intimate, laid back reception at the home of Mike's father. There's something to be said about backyard receptions. Everyone feels more at home. The conversation and laughter seems a little louder, the kids are more entertained and more people than normal offer to "get the photographers a drink". And even though we drink water during weddings, the gesture is always welcome. Here's a few images from the day. Enjoy.
