Awarded Best of Zola
Michele was wonderful to work with on our wedding day. She managed to capture every single moment of our day beautifully, even the ones we didn’t know we wanted or needed. She was calm and patient with all of our family and friends but very professional with keeping the flow moving to make sure that we got all the pictures we had expressed to her that we wanted. When it comes to the couple's photos, her creativity and artistic eye are unmatched. My husband and I are naturally a bit awkward with photos and didn’t really come into the day knowing exactly what poses we wanted, but Michele made us feel very comfortable and at ease. She took us around our wedding venue and found beautiful places that made the most stunning pictures that we will always treasure. Our family and friends really enjoyed the photo booth, and it was so much fun getting to see all of the pictures and poses our guests created. She and her husband, Derek, were both so giving with their time and dedication to capturing every special moment of our day. She is absolutely amazing, and I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Sara Goes Outside Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Viola, AR

Hi, friends! My name is Sara and I am obsessed with the great outdoors and telling your story through my lens. I connect with adventurous, laidback couples. And no, you don't have to be an athlete or avid hiker to take photos in beautiful places. I can show you Arkansas best kept secrets and we will create some golden hour magic together.

Would highly recommend Sara as a wedding or special event photographer. Not only are her photos beautiful and is she very professional with everything from process of booking, regular check-ins, communication style etc- but she’s incredibly kind and very much takes the time to find out what you want. Our engagement photos and the sneak peaks she’s already sent (within a couple days) of our wedding are beautiful. Just as important (to us) though, we also just felt like during the wedding we had a friend there with her. We received many compliments of us from guests, bridal party and family that talked about how sweet she was. You won’t regret it booking with Sara.

The Photography Friend 
Rating: 5.0 (35 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Viola, AR

At The Photography Friend, we specialize in wedding photography that feels as natural and genuine as your love story. Our approach is centered on capturing real emotions and candid moments, ensuring that every laugh, tear, and tender glance is preserved authentically. We believe in creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourselves, allowing us to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

From the moment they arrived I felt calmer, like a weight lifted. They were quietly efficient and somehow never in the way but always capturing the moments. The getting-ready photos are my absolute favorites because they feel intimate not staged, just real. The ceremony photos brought tears to my mom’s eyes, she said it was like reading the day back to her. The video includes small interstitial moments (gusts of wind, a clink of glasses) that make it feel alive. My husband said “they made the day look even better than we remember” and I agreed. They weren’t pushy with poses, just guided gently and let us be ourselves. I appreciate that they checked in with us about must-have shots beforehand. The turnaround was reasonable and their online gallery is easy to share. The prints we ordered arrived looking perfect. Guests commented on how kind and professional the team was. I’ll treasure these for decades.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

Big fan of dive bars, staring at the stars, forever searching for the best french fries, a blissfully cold Diet Coke, and a true midwestern why fly it's only 15 hours. You'll find me often traveling, spending time in nature, collecting rocks and shopping for vintage t-shirts. I love carefree messy in between moments, photographing my daily life on polaroids and film. I've lived a lot of places (Arizona, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico to name a few!) and have so many places that I treasure and feel at home.
