Anthony Chapel Wedding: The Diers' Garvan Woodland Gardens Ceremony
Candid vows, garden light, and Arkansas's prettiest wedding chapel backdrop.
Documenting an Anthony Chapel wedding is one of the great privileges of shooting weddings in Arkansas, and the Diers' ceremony at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs was no exception. From the candid laughter during getting-ready to the stolen glances as they exchanged rings, every moment played out against one of the prettiest wedding backdrops in the state.
A Garvan Woodland Gardens Wedding, Start to Finish
The gardens' sprawling pathways, vibrant foliage, and quiet ponds gave us a different setting for nearly every photo — sweeping garden shots before the ceremony, intimate portraits along the water, and the ceremony itself inside the light-filled Anthony Chapel. As the day unfolded, I focused on capturing the emotion behind each moment rather than just staging the obvious shots.
Why Anthony Chapel Is One of Arkansas's Best Wedding Venues
The chapel's floor-to-ceiling glass and wooded surroundings mean no two weddings here look quite the same — the light shifts with the season, and the gardens outside change the whole feel of the portraits. It's consistently one of my favorite venues for Hot Springs, Arkansas weddings, and the Diers' day showed exactly why.
