Fayetteville, Arkansas- Cynthia and Ryan have one of my all time favorite stories. Ryan moved to Northwest Arkansas for work and, unbeknownst to him, started working alongside one of his bride-to-be’s best friends, Alex. After working alongside Ryan over the course of several months, Alex felt confident Ryan would be a perfect match for her best friend. Talk about an honor! Eventually Alex convinced both Ryan and Cynthia to let her set them up and, after their first date fireworks, they’re sure glad that they did! The two were engaged in early March and will marry this Fall at Hillside Ranch in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This session was a reminder of the reasons we became photographers. We love celebrating people and we love capturing genuine joy. Needless to say, we were so giddy to drive around Fayetteville photographing these two on their engagement session and can’t wait for their Fall wedding!
