Little Rock // October 6, 2017

For Rupal Bhakta and Jason Grammer, one of the most exciting aspects of planning a wedding was anticipating having all of their loved ones together to celebrate. “This was the first time that all of our friends from every stage of our lives were able to come together in one location,” Rupal says. “We wanted our wedding to be a small and intimate ceremony in our front yard with very close friends and immediate family, but we also wanted a large party for our friends!”…

KARA + GARY
Paron // July 1, 2017

After a meeting at a mutual friend’s home brought Kara Halverson and Gary Jones together, the pair were inseparable. “We stayed up talking and watching You’ve Got Mail,” Kara recalls. “Gary told me he needed help with the projector TV; little did I know at the time how tech savvy he was.”

After almost two years of dating, Gary popped the question during the finale of the Labor Day fireworks show on Lake Hamilton. As Train’s “Marry Me” played in the background, he knelt down on one knee to ask for her hand. “After the show all of our friends and family exclaimed, ‘She said yes!’ and all the surrounding boats celebrated with us by honking their horns and flashing lights,” Kara says….

CAITLAN + BRAD
Hot Springs // September 23, 2017

Brad and Caitlan are both Hot Springs natives, so it may not come as a surprise the pair met while she was aboard his father’s houseboat just minutes from Hot Springs in Mountain Harbor. They happily dated for seven years before Brad found the perfect opportunity to propose at a production of Phantom of the Opera in Little Rock in early 2017.

“We walked up the stairs to the top of Robinson Center,” Brad says, “where I had photographers waiting for us. I know Caitlan spotted them peeking around pillars,” he adds. “Once we got to the top, I got on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said ‘yes,’ and then the photographers came out and took our engagement pictures.”…
