A Thorncrown Chapel & Crescent Hotel Wedding | Eureka Springs Wedding Photographer

Laura and Jamie had a wonderfully small and intimate wedding nestled in the woods and mountains of Eureka Springs, Arkansas this past Friday. Even though it was small they had put so much thought into the details. The locations, her dress, his boutonniere and her bouquet were all stunning. Their ceremony took place at Thorncrown Chapel and their reception was at the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa in the Conservatory. It was chilly weather but the overcast sky lent itself to perfect lighting for their wedding in the glass chapel. Everything was so romantic and emotional. They even made me tear up more than once. But those are the best kinds of weddings--where you can just feel and see the love between a bride and groom and among their family and friends. I couldn't have asked for better circumstances, people and locations for capturing these images. Enjoy!

I LOVE her bouquet, even though Laura said it gave her a few nightmares about it falling apart at the wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect. What a creative idea for re-purposing antique brooches.

Such a happy couple. I'm not sure what he said in this moment but I love her reaction.
