Amy + Travis | Engagement Images | Fayetteville, AR

Jason Crader — Sat, 19 May 2012 03:58:33 +0000

Earlier in the week, I had a great time in Fayetteville, photographing Amy & Travis’s engagement session. We began at the University of Arkansas, where the couple completed their undergraduate work. I knew this was going to be a great session when both Amy & Travis started things by climbing a tree on the lawn near Old Main. Things got even better when they brought their two dogs (Maddie & Diamond) to join the photo shoot. After roaming around Old Main for awhile, we headed down Dickson Street and eventually to a park near the school that held a lot of special memories for both Amy & Travis. While at the park, the couple literally decided to “take the plunge” into Lake Sequoyah at the end of the session. I had a wonderful time and here are some of my favorite images from the shoot!

Last Sunday afternoon, I had a great time photographing Amanda & Josh’s engagement photos at the Old Mill in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Amanda & Josh are both C-130 pilots in the Air Force and they’re currently stationed at the Little Rock Air Force Base. They are such a fun couple! The entire shoot was one big laugh after another. I had such a great time! Here are a few of my favorites from Sunday’s session.

I had a great time photographing Haley & Kenneth’s engagement session yesterday. We met up atop Mount Nebo, a place they’ve been visiting on their anniversary ever since they began dating six years ago. You couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The weather was gorgeous…the couple was wonderful..and the location was perfect. Here are a few of my favorite photos from last evening’s session!

This evening, I met up with Charity & Nick to photograph their engagement session. They are a great couple who are naturals in front of the camera! We started at Cajun’s Wharf and ended the shoot at Two Rivers Park. Cajuns is super special to the couple because that’s where Nick proposed to Charity a couple of months ago. After finishing up at there, we headed over to Two Rivers Park to enjoy the beautiful day and get create some wonderful photographs. Here are a few of my favorites from this evening’s shoot!

Keyanna + Ron | Engagement Images | Washington, D.C. & Baltimore, MD

Last Sunday, I had a wonderful time photographing Keyanna & Ron’s engagement session in Washington, D.C. & Baltimore, MD. I met Keyanna & Ron earlier this year when they booked me to photograph their wedding. I mentioned to them at that meeting that I’d be willing to come to Baltimore (where Ron works & where their future home will be) to photograph their engagement session. A few weeks went by and they contacted me saying they’d love to have me come to Baltimore to photograph them. They flew me out last Saturday and we spent most of the day Sunday traveling between Baltimore and D.C. taking these engagement photos. After eating a delicious breakfast, we headed to the National Mall area of Washington, D.C. I had never been there before and it is a truly spectacular place. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the air of history surrounding me was almost too much to take in. After we finished in D.C., we traveled back to the Inner Harbor area in downtown Baltimore to finish the session. Baltimore is a beautiful place too! This was my first time to visit this city and it is an equally beautiful place. After the shoot, we had a great dinner at the Cheesecake Factory overlooking the harbor. Keyanna & Ron are such a great couple! They treated me the whole time I was with them and I hated seeing our day come to an end. I can relive it though by looking through the photos below. Here are some of my favorites from our shoot!

Leila + Thomas | Engagement Images | Downtown Little Rock & Museum of Discovery

Jason Crader — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:40:15 +0000

I had a great time photographing Leila & Thomas’s engagement session yesterday. I met up with them at the Museum of Discovery, where Thomas works and the site of their reception, and we headed out the doors to a beautiful day and a super fun shoot. The weather was perfect (60 degrees in January!) and Leila and Thomas were so fun to photograph. After we shot outside, we went indoors to photograph inside the Museum. The Museum has recently undergone a major renovation and it looks amazing. I encourage anyone reading this to take an afternoon off to visit this place. It is great for kids and adults! We capped a wonderful afternoon off by grabbing dinner and drinks at Boscos.

Here are some of my favorite images from yesterday’s shoot!
