Missy + Rob Dominican Republic Wedding

I didn't know Missy before she found me online and asked if I might want to come shoot her wedding in the Dominican Republic.  But a few too many glasses of wine later we had hatched up a plan for Missy to do some personal training for Kevin and I and for us to shoot her wedding.  That's one of my favorite aspects of being a wedding photographer -- complete strangers can totally turn into lifelong friends.  And Kevin and I've actually started exercising.  Yay!  Check out Missy's fitness business here.

Kevin and I had an amazing time celebrating in the Dominican Republic with Missy and Rob and their awesome family... drinking mimosas, convincing the wait staff to make us a REAL Dominican Republic meal, going on some sand buggies (here's a video!), and taking photos in the "jungle" :)

They are celebrating this Saturday with some of their local friends and family that weren't able to make it to the actual wedding.  I hope you guys have a blast and enjoy sharing the pictures with your friends and family.  Kevin and I are so happy to be friends with you guys and it was amazing to be part of your wedding.  

Danielle + Chris: Rainy downtown Omaha engagement shoot

Second time we've planned on these photos and it's the second time it has poured down rain.  Seriously -- Nebraska weather loves to throw a wrench in my plans.  This time we refused to cancel for the weather, and even though it rained the whole time, I love so many of these photos.  And the indoor pictures were taken in Chris and Danielle's apartment building downtown, which I think is super cool.  

Danielle and Chris are awesome creative people (Danielle even made my photography logo and a million other design projects over the years) and I hope these capture just a bit of them.  They've been together almost 10 years and Kevin and I are so excited to celebrate with them in Mexico for their wedding.  Big thanks to Kevin for shooting these photos with me (and being a good sport when I asked him to hold the umbrella).

Jacki + Dan: Downtown Omaha Engagement Session

Nebraska's weather tried to rain on our parade during Jacki and Dan's engagement session, but we didn't let it stop us!  We had dodge into Nosh wine lounge and had a couple drinks while it rained, but it was fun to hang out and have a drink while it passed.  Sometimes the worst weather days make for the most interesting photos.
