Throughout the past few years as Arkansas wedding photographers, we have worked with some AHHH-MAZING wedding vendors. We wanted to showcase a few of our favorites on the blog. Stay tuned for some information and photos showcasing some of our favorite Arkansas wedding vendors.

Hannah, the bride, created many of the decorative pieces herself! The touches of evergreen and pine along with the red roses and silver glitter brought the warmth, glitz, and happiness of Christmas.

]]><![CDATA[Family Session - Conway, AR - Hendrix College]]>Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:43:55 GMThttps://www.whimsicalmoonbeam.com/blog/family-session-conway-ar-hendrix-collegeFall and spring are two of the best times for family photos. The air is cool and either the flowers are blooming or the leaves are bright and colorful.

We had a blast photographing this family session!

Even though toddlers can be a bit challenging to photograph, we followed Sophia around, played, and captured some authentic, fun photos of this adorable, loving family in Conway, AR.

When working with kids, we like to let them run some of the show. Kids usually don't want to sit still. Having a session with lots of movement and fun things to see keeps them happy and lets their natural personalities shine in the photos. It's nice to have some family photos that look real and unposed, as well as some posed shots. We try to incorporate both of those concepts into our family sessions.

Hendrix College has a lovely campus with lots of beautiful plants, ivy, and even a fountain! It's a great spot for family sessions.

Before choosing your venue, it's important to think about how many guests you plan on inviting. Although you might not think that you are inviting THAT MANY guests, once you sit down with your partner and being listing out all the people you want to invite, it can be quite a large list. Don't forget about all the +1, 2, or even 3 or more people a guest might bring, such as their children or significant others.

If you have a dream wedding venue in mind, and you only want to have your wedding there, make sure your guest list reflects the amount of guests the place will hold. The venue coordinator should know how many guests the venue will hold or even allow. You may have to cut the guest list depending on the amount the venue will hold.

Thinking about an estimate of 25 to 30 square feet per guest can help you think about how much room you would need for tables, dancing, etc. Don't forget to ask your venue how many guests it can comfortably accommodate.
