Arkansas Wedding Photography
Capturing the authentic moments you’ll never want to forget
Are you worried your wedding photographer will just be another vendor?
That fear stops here
Trust me, I know how scary it can feel hiring someone you don’t know to capture the most important day of your life. That’s why when I show up on your wedding day, I am not just another person you hired, but I am showing up as your friend! We will know each other, I will know your family’s names, the dynamics that work, the moments you want captured, and it will feel natural!
This is why my brides love working with me, and why they book me after their wedding to capture their family throughout the years! Because they know I care about them, their wedding day, and giving them beautiful photos every step of the way.
You will never be “just another couple” with me
I mean this with my whole heart, your wedding day is not just another day to me. This is not just a rinse and repeat sort of work for me. That is why I take a select number of weddings each year! I want to show up for my couples throughout the entire wedding planning process in a way that is organic, not just transactional.
I take it very seriously to scout your venue for the perfect photos, take photos of every detail, know the names of all of your family and wedding party, make sure that you are comfortable and confident throughout your wedding day, and guess what? You get to enjoy your wedding day while knowing every moment is being captured.
For me, it’s not just another wedding. It is YOUR wedding that deserves to celebrated fully and captured by someone who knows the importance of this day. Read below to see what previous brides have said about their experience with me!

a few love notes from brides
“Right after our ceremony Rayli took the dreamiest “just married” photos, which gave us such a sweet gift of time together to enjoy being a new husband and wife. That is the moment I look back on most fondly from our wedding day and I am overjoyed to have stunning pictures to remember it by. ”
“Rayli is all around a wonderful person with infectious joy, and she is a delight to work with! She captured our engagement photos (she trekked through the woods and hid in the trees to capture the proposal!) and wedding photos and we could not be happier with how they all turned out.”
You are the heart of the day.
This day is about your love story being front and center.
Your wedding day is the time where all of the hard work to get to this day gets captured. Your story, everything that makes your story unique and perfect from beginning to end told through timeless photos.
That is what my bride’s love about their full album! Seeing their entire day unfolding from beginning to end in photos they didn’t even know I took, but they love that I did anyways.
Here’s what to expect working with me
You know that I care about your day
Did you hire me to take your wedding photos? Yes! But more than that, I want you to be able to enjoy your wedding day while I come along to take photos of every moment. I will give you the peace you need knowing that your photos are in the right hands to become your core memories captured.
“We don’t know how to pose”
I hear this all time- along with, “I don’t know what to do with my hands.” You can count on me to gently direct your photos when needed and capture the true emotions that come from it! You won’t look stiff, unnatural, or awkward. How can I know that? Because by the time your wedding day comes, we will know each other so well that it will feel natural to be taking photos together.
I am always in your corner
My couples know that I care about them. I leave their wedding day feeling like their best friend who had their back, fixed their veil, made sure they drank water, and created space for her to enjoy her wedding day. You can count on me to go the extra mile for you, make sure your timeline is what YOU want, and feel supported throughout this process. It’s your day and I am here to keep it that way!

A bit about me
Want to know a secret? I still dance with my husband in the kitchen to our wedding song. Another one? When we started dating he told me he would buy me a dozen red roses when I married him, and I walked down the aisle holding a bouquet of a dozen red roses. Every anniversary he brings a dozen red roses home for me. Yes, I am romantic and gesture kind of gal! Why should you care about this? Because this is what I bring to your wedding day. I see the moments that are just beginning on your wedding day that will last a lifetime.
Every time I dance with my husband or see a dozen red roses I am thrown back to our wedding day. I can see the pictures and moments so clearly! That is why I strive so passionately to capture those moments for you. I would want those pictures for my best friend, and now I want these photos for you!
This is not a rinse, wash, and repeat moment for me. This is a day that will never be the same because it’s your wedding day! I can’t wait to capture your amazing wedding day.
