Late Fall Engagement Photographs at the University of Arkansas

Fall Engagement Session at the University of Arkansas

Y’all! It has been so fun to blog more regularly again. I love photographs so much and sharing them is a total joy. Also a total joy? Fall engagements sessions at the University of Arkansas! They’re colorful, they’re fun, and they’re full of so much love.

I’ve been shooting in Fayetteville since 2011 and one thing about my career has been very stable: the University of Arkansas is my second home in the fall. It doesn’t matter if it’s September, October, November, or even early December – if it’s photography season, I’m at the university at least once a week. And honestly? I love that! I’ve been able to find so many cute little alcoves over the years and shooting sessions at the university just gets better and better.

And the light? It ain’t bad, either!

So today! Let’s celebrate one of Fayetteville’s most iconic places with the sweetest engagement photos of Cecily and Drew. These two had a destination wedding but wanted Northwest Arkansas engagement photos at a place that celebrated the area. Cecily and Drew opted for a mini session and it ended up so perfect: we strolled around campus, chatted about their wedding plans, and had the best time. Cannot wait for y’all to see these!

I don’t usually blog minis but couldn’t keep these to myself!
