Matt & Carmen engagement photos at Steel Creek Arkansas

When my little brother Matt proposed, you know that I had to call dibs on his engagement photos. I took these at Steel Creek, which is a beautiful valley on the Buffalo River near Jasper Arkansas. More photographers should seriously come out here. It is one of the prettiest places in Arkansas.

By the way, he is a huge car nerd if you want an explanation for why they posed with a 2002 Mazda Miata.

And of course I had to throw this last one in the gallery. Brotherly love and all that, you know.

PS, I cannot wait to officially welcome you to the family, Carmen.
