The Most Charming Proposal at the Edgemont House

Nestled amid the manicured gardens and historic charm of The Edgemont House in North Little Rock, a love story unfolded that was as timeless as the setting itself. The evening sun danced across the beautiful central fountain, surrounded by lush greenery and blooms swaying gently in the warm breeze. A winding gravel path led the way, setting the stage for a proposal that felt straight out of a fairytale—a private moment made even sweeter knowing the connection between photographer and groom-to-be began years earlier during their pediatric residency together. Weston, now a hematology-oncology fellow at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, had fallen in love not only with his best friend, but with a nurse whose kindness paralleled his own. After a year and a half of laughter, partnership, and an “easy” kind of love, he knew it was time to ask Madison to be his forever.

Madison spent the day celebrating with girlfriends—getting pampered, painting her nails, and slipping into the perfect white dress adorned with soft floral details. When she arrived to The Edgemont House, she was greeted by Weston, dressed to the nines and standing proudly with their beloved goldendoodle, Finley, complete with a blue bow tie for the occasion. The trio strolled down the gravel walkway as Weston shared words from the heart before dropping to one knee beside Finley. With joyful tears and glowing smiles, Madison said “yes,” and the caretakers of the estate popped a celebratory bottle of champagne. Their engagement session began right there, full of laughter, cuddles, and kisses as they toasted to forever amidst flower-filled paths and fountain mist.

The Edgemont House offered endless photo opportunities—from whimsical outdoor courtyards strung with twinkling lights to uniquely curated indoor spaces that transported us to another era. With temperatures nearing 100 degrees and Arkansas humidity at full force, we found ourselves darting between the cool air-conditioned rooms with grand staircases and gorgeous natural light, then back outside to capture the magic of the grounds. Every backdrop told a different part of their story, each click of the camera sealing another memory. It was an absolute honor to document such a heartfelt moment for a dear friend, watching the next chapter of his life begin in the most picturesque way. Wishing Weston and Madison a joy-filled wedding planning season and many years of love, laughter, and happily ever after.
