Azaleas in Bloom, Love in Full Color: Katelyn & Garrett’s Engagement at The Old Mill

Katelyn and Garrett's Spring Engagement Session at The Old Mill in Little Rock, Arkansas

A Sentimental Spring Session in Little Rock, Arkansas


On April 11th, 2025, surrounded by vibrant azaleas and timeless stonework at The Old Mill at T.R. Pugh Memorial Park in Little Rock, Arkansas, I had the joy of photographing Katelyn and Garrett’s engagement session. Just a few weeks away from their July 12th wedding, this spring afternoon felt like the perfect prelude to their forever.

A LOVE ROOTED IN FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP

Katelyn and Garrett’s story begins in childhood, where summers were spent attending the same vacation Bible schools. Even as they grew older and life moved them in different directions, they stayed connected. Through high school, college, and everything in between, their bond never faded. It wasn’t until the summer before Katelyn’s junior year at Harding that their friendship turned into something more—and the rest, as they say, is history.

A FULL-CIRCLE PROPOSAL

Garrett’s proposal was as thoughtful as their love story. At the very farm where he took Katelyn on their first date, he prepared a display of his favorite memories together—photos capturing years of laughter, growth, and love. It was there that he asked her the most meaningful question of their lives, surrounded by the quiet beauty of a place that held so much significance.

WHY ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS MATTER

An engagement session is more than a photoshoot—it’s a celebration of a promise. Here’s why I believe every couple deserves this special moment documented:

  • A Pause in the Planning – With wedding prep in full swing, your engagement session offers a peaceful break to focus on each other.

  • The Beginning of Your Story – These images capture who you are right now, in this unique season of anticipation and joy.

  • A Personal Touch – Engagement photos add warmth and personality to save-the-dates, invitations, and wedding decor.

Whether you’re newly engaged or planning the perfect proposal, I’d love to help you preserve these beautiful beginnings. Let’s tell your love story, one frame at a time.
