Leigh and Ben are some of Kevin and I's best friends and it was a complete blast for us to be part of their wedding day. They are leaving today for their honeymoon in Ecuador so I thought I'd send them off with a few photos. I can't wait to hear all about their travels!
Man what a beautiful wedding at Wilderness Ridge in Lincoln, Nebraska. I always get a little nervous about the weather for an outdoor wedding (especially an outdoor wedding in late March!), but sometimes big risk means big reward. This was a perfect day, and Katherine and Robert totally deserved a beautiful day for their wedding. Just the nicest, nicest people and they know how to throw a party too :)
Katherine had so many details that just made it all so personal to them. You could definitely tell she had put a tremendous amount of effort into the day but didn't seem stressed out at all and just really soaked it all in and enjoyed it. Her and Robert laughed and had fun all day and I'm so glad that they invited Kevin and I to be part of it.
Awesome day for an engagement session! Linsey and Trent are just super laid back fun people and we had a great time exploring. We shot underneath a railroad bridge that Trent suggested that was perfect. Hope you guys enjoy these!
When Thomas emailed me and said he had found me online and wanted me to shoot the proposal to his girlfriend Jessica in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in Omaha, I was super excited, and then immediately nervous. Hiding out, trying to get the perfect shot without ruining the moment, trying to avoid shooting with a ton of cars in the background, and not getting blocked by a random pedestrian. So many variables!
Just for fun, I'd thought I'd include some of the behind the scenes diagrams I sent Thomas to make sure we captured it just right. :) All was going according to plan, until Jessica decided she did not want to cross the street the way Thomas was leading her. No J walking for Jessica! But despite a firm finger point and Jessica starting to walk away, Thomas caught her, pulled her back into the street and got down on one knee right in the middle of the street as planned.
It was SUCH a cool moment. Jessica was so surprised and literally everyone stopped and watched them, and once she said yes, tons of strangers started yelling congrats and everyone was honking their horns. We dodged in an alley to get a few shots of the two of them, and then I snuck to Blue Sushi. Thomas had flown in a ton of Jessica's friends and family and surprised her again with an engagement party at Blue. Couldn't have been a more perfect proposal and I feel so honored that I got to be part of it!
Big thank you to Thomas's brother Nate for all his help coordinating and for my husband Kevin for getting some great photos of Jessica's reaction! Your vision totally came together Thomas -- happy engagement to you and Jessica!
I've known Leigh for at least 5 years and her and Ben are our amazing travel buddies. I took a ton of pictures of them in Vietnam and Thailand when we were traveling together, but it was fun to do a shoot closer to home. Its fun making Omaha look like a bigger city than it is. Most of these pictures were shot within a block of where Kevin and I live.
And Leigh and Ben met at the railroad so of course we had to incorporate that too.
