Hailie & Kirk’s Love Story
Hailie had been traveling the world, building her career, and doing her thing throughout her 20s without much thought of marriage or kids. At 34 years old and after yet another failed relationship, she started to fear she would never meet "the one" and would miss out on her chance to have children. She decided to turn it over to God. She made a list of all the qualities she wanted in a partner, prayed over it every day, and continued focusing on being the best version of herself. Cue Kirk, a divorced father of 3, who was also ready to find his soulmate. For him, it was love at first sight. For Hailie, it was love after the first conversation, but she played hard to get for a couple weeks before she agreed to a real date. On date #3, they both just "knew". Hailie laid everything out on the table and told Kirk her desire to marry and have children and how she felt that she didn't have a lot of time to wait. Kirk's response, "then let's get married!" Hailie and Kirk share the same values and goals, and have never been more sure of anything in their lives! Hailie will be a stepmom to Kirk's precious 3 sons and they are expecting their first child together on June 24th, 2021!
I am so thankful that Hailie and Kirk needed a wedding photographer in Jonesboro, Arkansas to capture their wedding day at The Glass Factory and found me! I will forever be grateful to know these two beautiful souls. Enjoy some pictures from their wedding day below!

On August 6, 2022, Ebony and Justin celebrated their wedding day surrounded by loved ones. Their journey began on August 25, 2017, when they met at Journey Church Jonesboro, growing together through various ministries and small groups. Justin’s heartfelt proposal took place at their lake Airbnb on June 4, 2022. During a summer trip to Hot Springs, he surprised Ebony by kneeling and asking her to marry him during a photo session with friends. Their wedding was a beautiful start to a new chapter in their lives.
