Levi and Natalie’s Wedding - Clinton Library

Grant — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:13:33 PDT

I love morning weddings! I especially love morning weddings at the Clinton Library! Levi and Natalie were the first couple to get married on the grounds (east side) of the Clinton Library and we had a blast! There were a ton of friends and family there to support them and when the wedding was over, they all came together to eat a little breakfast.

Welcome to Little Rock guys and thanks for letting us hang out with you for the day!

Had a great time shooting Melissa and Stephen’s wedding this past weekend so I decided to post Melissa’s bridals portraits! Here are a few…

Jake and Allison’s Wedding

Grant — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:01:20 PDT

Jake and Allison have to be one of the most fun couples we’ve had the chance to shoot! Their wedding was in Arkadelphia at Ouachita Baptist University’s chapel and their reception was at a banquet hall on campus. We’ve had the chance to know these guys for a while and we’re excited to be able to play a small role in their day.

Congrats guys! Have fun in Waco!

David and Melinda’s Engagement

Grant — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:00:13 PDT

David and Melinda were troopers to get up early and take some engagement shots before the heat made it up to a million degrees. Their wedding is set for January 1st in downtown Little Rock…a snowy wedding sounds amazing right about now!

Here are a few shots…

Josh and Leah’s Wedding

Josh and Leah’s wedding was held at one of the Village Church campuses in Dallas. We always enjoy getting to take a few days to go to Dallas to shoot a wedding so thanks guys for allowing us to shoot for you! Congrats again!

Natalie Vinsant-Miller Bridals

Almost forgot to post Natalie’s bridals!

For Natalie’s location, she really wanted to shoot in her grandmothers house which ended up being a great idea because it was storming pretty bad at the time we were shooting! Here are just a couple shots.

(her wedding post will be coming up soon!)

Dinner on the Grounds - Our House - Little Rock, Arkansas

Grant — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 07:24:28 PDT

I had the chance to shoot a great fundraising event at the Governor’s mansion in Little Rock for a working homeless shelter called Our House. I shot this event last year and was excited to do again for them!

If you’ve been wanting to give to a good organization, this is it. Here are a few shots from the event.

Jordan and Monica’s Wedding

Grant — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:00:45 PDT

Despite the heat (which I feel has become a little too common this summer) Jordan and Monica had a great wedding! Here are a few pics from their day.

Thanks for letting us be a part and congrats!

Jamie and Jessica’s Wedding

Grant — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:42:25 PDT

I love shooting weddings for friends! I’ve known Jamie for a long time, not to mention lived with him for a year, so when he asked me to take pictures for his wedding, I was glad to accept! The wedding was down at Ouachita Baptist University’s Chapel and we had a blast!

Thanks for asking us to shoot for you guys, now move back to Arkansas so we can hang out more!

What I Learned from Haiti

Grant — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:52:17 PDT

I kind of fear writing a post so soon after returning from Haiti. There are a lot of conversations, experiences, and interactions with people that I think will mean more after I’ve had time to think and reflect. Nevertheless, I’ll do my best to try to convey all that happened.

I’ve been to quite a few third world countries, but nothing like this. It’s one thing to have nothing, but to have nothing and then have an earthquake take away the rest is something that’s hard to fathom. On our drive from Port au Prince to Leogane, we sat in silence and tried to comprehend all we were seeing. It may have been six months ago, but it looked like it could have happened yesterday.

I think we were all overwhelmed the first day. We were there to serve and help, but the task looked too big. How can we, a group of twelve, impact what we had seen? We knew only Christ was going to be able to change a situation like this. He then began to show us all he was up to.

We had the chance to spend time with a church in Leogane for the week. This was when we heard the stories of how Christ had been moving throughout their city. Testimonies of death, destruction, and hopelessness…turning to life, redemption and hope. When they said “Christ is all I have” they meant it. What little they may have had before, what family or friends they held on to, in 35 seconds was taken away.

-Christ is all they have-

Because of this, all we saw in these people was joy, peace, and hope! No situation, no emotion, no attitude, no earthquake was going to take away what Christ had given them. A country once saturated with Vodoo is now beginning to turn toward truth…Christ.

But that is the Gospel…

Taking something that seems hopeless, worthless, too big, too far gone, dead, and seeming doomed…and turning it into true life.

I wish I could somehow give all of you the experience I had, but all I can share are words and images. I pray when you look at these faces you see what we see.

Faces filled with the love of Christ
Faces filled with life
Faces loved by God
Faces we’ll all see again…

So what have I learned from Haiti? That no situation is too big that Christ can’t overcome it. I learned that though the country is in disarray, there is hope that all the social injustices that are going on there can be brought to light and changed. Christ has called us to take care of the poor, widows, and orphans. We have an opportunity to show a country what the Kingdom of God is like. But we must act.

May Christ give all of us the same faith He has given them. Keep praying for Haiti.
