As the leaves change and the air gets crisp, there's no better time to capture your family's memories than during the fall in Batesville, Arkansas.

Here’s why you should book your session now and what makes each option a great choice—plus, a few fun reasons to smile along the way!

Why Book a One-Hour Session?

Want the full fall experience? A one-hour session gives you all the time in the world (well, a whole hour at least!) to soak up the beauty of the season. With this much time, we can leaf no stone unturned—exploring different locations, changing outfits, and capturing a wide range of moments. Think of it as a greatest hits album, featuring all the best shots from your session!

For seniors, this is your time to shine brighter than the fall sun. We can capture everything from your favorite sports to your most stylish outfit—after all, you’re only a senior once! Couples, get ready for some pumpkin-spiced romance, because we’ll have time to capture all those sweet, candid moments that make your love story unique.

Why Book a 30-Minute Session?

A 30-minute session is like the perfect fall hike—not too long, not too short, and filled with beautiful views along the way. This session length gives us just enough time to snap a variety of photos while keeping the pace fun and breezy. We’ll get those posed shots that Grandma will love, plus some candid moments that show off your family’s personality.

Families, think of this as your chance to rake in some awesome memories without the worry of anyone getting restless. Seniors, we’ll capture your best angles faster than you can say “pumpkin pie.” It’s all about enjoying the process and walking away with photos that are as warm and inviting as a cup of hot cider.

The Benefits of a 15-Minute Mini Session

Pressed for time but still want some fall-tastic photos? Our 15-minute mini sessions are quick, efficient, and a whole lot of fun. Don’t be fooled by the short time—we’ll capture more in 15 minutes than you’d think! You’ll walk away with five edited images that are perfect for framing, sharing, or even using as your new phone background. Because, let’s face it, who doesn’t want to show off those fall vibes?

Mini sessions are great for families who want a few updated photos without the fuss, or couples who want to squeeze in a quick, yet memorable, shoot. Seniors, this is your chance to grab a few standout shots that will make your friends say, “Wow, how did they do that in just 15 minutes?” The location I’ve chosen has the best lighting, ensuring every photo looks like it’s straight out of a magazine.

Best Wedding Venues Near Batesville, Ar

When it comes to wedding venues, you have a lot to consider before booking. How close to my guests home is the venue? How much is the venue? What all is included? What type of venue do I even want to go with?

I have been shooting weddings for going on 7 years, and have gathered a bit of information along the way, and hope to make it a little easier on you to make those big decisions!

*these are in no particular order

 

RENTALS AT THE RANCH

If you’re looking for somewhere with multiple options for your ceremony spot this beautiful venue may be for you! Rentals at The Ranch is a popular selection for brides and grooms planning weddings in Batesville for many reasons, but the one that stands out most to me is the fact that 100% of the profit goes to Arkansas Sheriff Youth Ranches. You can plan a beautiful wedding, and give back at the same time! Packages start at only $800.

 

CHERRY FARM WEDDING/EVENT BARN

The term above and beyond comes to mind when I think of Cherry Farm and how hands on Marilyn and her crew are. I love shooting here because I know that there aren’t two weddings alike that take place at this gorgeous venue. Cherry Farm can handle everything you need on your wedding day from catering to decor and set up, they will not disappoint! Lodging on location will be available soon! For as much as they offer, their low starting price of $1700.00 gives you a huge bang for your buck!

 

THE MAIN STREET LOFT

Classy, elegant, and timeless touches make The Main Street Loft a perfect venue for couples looking for an indoor Wedding/Reception space. Tresa with Imaginations Events owns/operates this stunning venue, and does a phenomenal job of transforming each wedding into something unique and exciting! Many package options are available, including ones that offer full wedding planning and decorating to ensure your day goes as smoothly as possible!! Pricing starts at $600.

The Royal on Main that’s just 1 block away, makes for the perfect “getting ready” spot for the bridal party with its radiant natural light and luxurious accommodations.

 

THE CITIZENS BANK POCKET PARK

Like something out of a movie, the romantic lights strung across The Pocket Park make for the perfect intimate ceremony setting. If you are thinking of getting married in an outdoor venue, with the convenience of hotels and airbnb’s just blocks away, consider renting The Pocket Park! This venue can easily be used for ceremony & reception, or simply hold your ceremony at the pocket park, and reception at The Main Street Loft!

THE MEADOW

The Meadow is located only 15 minutes from Batesville, and is one of the newer venues out of the ones mentioned here. Melissa, of Weddings By Melissa E. carefully planned out every detail of her venue with a bride and groom in mind. With her years of wedding planning experience, she can help you plan out your perfect day from top to bottom. The Meadow offers a lovely outdoor pavillion and their newly built wedding hall, featuring a bridal and groom suite. Rental fees at The Meadow start at $1000

 

SPRING MILL

In 1867 Spring Mill was built with the purpose to run as a gristmill, which it did for many years. I’m sure the founders of this mill never imagined there being a wedding venue on the property! Besides having a beautifully renovated historical landmark, this gorgeous property has a large pier that extends into a beautiful pond. A total of 9 beds makes it a wonderful option for those traveling from a bit farther away as well. If your interest is peaked, schedule a tour today!

Fields, ponds, and of course the blackberry bushes will make for some amazing photo opps along with the one of a kind architecture of the chapel. RidgeRunner Blackberry Farm will suit just about any couple, seeing as how the options are endless! Packages start at $400

 

THE WEDDING BARN AND EVENT CENTER

LIGHTING LIGHTING LIGHTING! If I had to pick my favorite thing about this gorgeous venue it would have to be the amount of natural light that pours into the space, illuminating the beautifully white washed walls and ceilings.
