Graduating Ouachita Sweethearts

Ouachita holds a special place in my heart. When I first moved onto campus as a freshman, I did not know a single person. Over the next 4 years, I learned a wealth of information, developed forever friendships, fell in love and spent my first year as a married couple being dorm parents. My memories of Ouachita are rich, filled with both tears and laughter, challenges and growth.

When Brad and Emma asked me to do graduation photos for them on the Ouachita campus, I was overjoyed. Walking around and taking pictures at the same places my husband and I took pictures shortly after we were married was surreal. Brad and Emma met their freshman year and have been crazy about each other ever since. They have tackled challenging classes and late nights together while also serving their church and other ministries on campus. Hearing their memories of “their bench” outside Berry Bible Building and going to the place were Brad proposed was so sweet.

Brad and Emma, I had a blast taking pictures with you! I can’t believe in less than 3 weeks you will be graduating and moving to answer God’s call for your lives. We are so excited to come back to Ouachita in 2 months to celebrate your wedding! I pray that God gives you strength, energy and joy throughout the coming months and all the wonderful changes. I know he has amazing things planned for you both!
