We loved shooting Brittany and Cory’s engagement photos back in August! Can’t believe it’s already October and they are getting married this Saturday! Looking forward to more fun times out of this cute family! More photos to come. 

The fall wedding season is in full swing here at Arden Photography! But who could complain when you’ve got such beautiful people to photograph?! We often say that a happy bride makes all the difference when it comes to the wedding photos. Austin was more than happy – she was absolutely beaming! She smiled and […]

It was a sweet September afternoon at Windwood Equestrian when Laura glided around the corner to see Zechariah for the first time. They were all smiles as he asked her to twirl around for him in her dress. She wore flowers in her hair, and a veil that would catch in the wind. They married […]

In Ben and Lacey’s engagement story it was the weather, of course! Ben had originally planned to propose to Lacey at Railroad […]
