When Cassie and Alex first locked eyes, they never could have imagined the beautiful adventure they were about to begin together. They certainly wouldn’t have guessed that someday they’d be saying “I do” during a breathtaking Willow Brooke Farm wedding celebration! But on a radiant September day, Cassie and Alex’s family and friends gathered together to celebrate the beginning of their new life together as husband and wife. And this Northwest Arkansas wedding photographer is beyond thrilled he landed an invite to document it all!

They first met at a trivia game night in January of 2020. They were put on the same team by mutual friends, and their group won trivia night. They hit it off, but didn’t get to spend a lot of time together because Alex was in the middle of a busy tax season. After tax season, when things started to go well for them, the pandemic hit. Cassie’s job required her to be isolated, so they didn’t see each other for about a month. After those two hurdles kept them apart, they knew they wanted to be together forever. They got engaged on May 30, 2021, at White Rock Mountain in Winslow, AR.

If you know me, you know that I am a big fan of the “First Look” because it provides an opportunity for great photos. It also gives the couple a moment alone before the ceremony. That being said, I also love seeing the groom’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time during the ceremony. Cassie and Alex chose the traditional route and opted not to have a first look, which, after seeing Alex’s face as Cassie walked down the aisle, was the right choice. Instead, we had them hold hands without Alex seeing Cassie.

As the party drew to a close, the guests gave their last hugs to the newlyweds before they ran off into the night to begin their life together as husband and wife. I am so grateful I was able to document this Willow Brooke Farm wedding day in all its magnificence, and it’s a celebration I’m never going to forget! Congratulations, Cassie and Alex, on the first day of your new life together! I can’t wait to see you again soon!
