I had a wonderful time photographing Shannon & Kirk’s wedding last Saturday, at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. I met the couple last year and I’ve enjoyed photographing their engagement session and Shannon’s bridal session. They have a great group of friends and family and I truly had an awesome time at their wedding.

Lauren + Matt | Wedding Images | The Cadre | Memphis, TN Photographers

Last Friday, I had a wonderful time photographing Lauren & Matt’s wedding at the Cadre in Memphis, TN. It was great seeing so many friends there from past weddings that I’ve photographed. Built in 1928, the Cadre is a 36,000 square foot historic landmark located in the heart of Memphis just off Front Street. This setting complimented the elegance of this wedding. After the ceremony, the staff removed many of the chairs to open up a large amount of room for all the fun and food that followed during the reception. Almost Famous rocked this historic structure late into the night until the couple exited beneath sparklers and into a beautiful horse drawn carriage. Here are some of my favorites from Lauren & Matt’s wonderful day & night!

2011 Favorite Wedding Images

Jason Crader — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:00:04 +0000

2011…What a great year! I photographed 23 weddings this year and enjoyed each and every one of them. For those who hired me…THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!…without your support I would not be able to do what I LOVE to do! Each one of your weddings was so special and I treasure the friendships I formed with many of you throughout the course of this year. When you’ve shoot well over 150,000 images, it’s very hard to pick favorites. I’ve narrowed it down to 138 that I really like. This is going to be a long post full of many photos, but I hope you enjoy looking back at some of my favorites of 2011! Here they are in chronological order according to the wedding date. If you have time, check out my favorite 2011 engagement photos and 2011 bridal images too!

Lauren + Taylor | Wedding Images | Calvary Baptist Church | Pleasant Valley Country Club | Little Rock, AR Wedding Photographers

Jason Crader — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:58:27 +0000

Last Saturday, I had so much fun photographing Lauren & Taylor’s wedding at Calvary Baptist Church in Little Rock, AR. About a month ago, I photographed Lauren’s bridals at Petit Jean State Park, and I knew then, when I saw her, that she would light up the church, and she did! Following the beautiful ceremony, the couple had their reception at the Pleasant Valley Country Club. Lauren’s mother did a superb job helping decorate the venue with many unique wedding pieces, and I really enjoyed the 11-member live band, The Rockets, that entertained guests during the night. Here are some of my favorite images.

Sarah + Brandon | Wedding Images | First Baptist Church | Benton, AR Wedding Photographers

Jason Crader — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:15:43 +0000

I had such a great time photographing Sarah & Brandon’s wedding at First Baptist Church in Benton, AR two days ago. I met Sarah in January, at the Arkansas Democrat Gazette Bridal Fair. She won the free engagement session that I gave away after the bridal fair. During the engagement session, of course I met Brandon, and let me tell you these two are a spectacular couple. They decided to book me to photograph their wedding and to shoot Sarah’s bridals. Both Sarah and Brandon’s families are SUPER people. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them over the course of this year. Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding!

Lauren + Brian | Wedding Images | The Capital Hotel | Little Rock, AR Wedding Photographers

Jason Crader — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 04:21:50 +0000

Last Saturday, I photographed the wonderful wedding of Lauren & Brian. This small wedding at The Capital Hotel, was a very intimate gathering of close friends and family. The hearts were heavy of all involved due to the passing of Brian’s mother a little over a week ago. She had been ill for months and the couple had done everything possible to bring the wedding to her (they live in New York City), but sadly she was not physically present. She was definitely there in spirit and both families stood strong during this trying time. The plentiful smiles and a child’s nature sure helped. There were a total of seven children who participated in the wedding and these kids really helped ease the pain. I’m very thankful for having the opportunity to be involved with this wedding. Everyone was so gracious and kind. Here are some of my favorite images from the wedding day.

Eimear + Drew | Wedding Images | St. Edwards Catholic Church | Embassy Suites | Little Rock, AR Wedding Photographers

Jason Crader — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 06:12:47 +0000

Last Saturday, I had the best time at Eimear & Drew’s wedding. I first met up with Eimear and her family at her parents’ home before heading to St. Edwards Catholic Church for the ceremony. This was the first chance I’ve had to photograph a wedding inside St. Edwards. I’ve heard from friends that it was beautiful but their descriptions did not do the church justice. After the ceremony ended, we headed over to the Embassy Suites for the reception. It was a wonderful day with individuals from all over the world attending Eimear & Drew’s wedding. I really enjoyed learning some of their Irish customs, and meeting Eimear’s wonderful family from Ireland. I wonderful time was had by all and here are some of my favorite images from the wedding day!
