Kim + Derek: A whimsical August Wedding

Kim and Derek not only know how to put on a gorgeous wedding, they are close friends of Kevin and I's.  It was an honor and so much fun to be part of their day.

I loved all the small details Kim had planned... like her green bridesmaid dresses and her green wedding shoes to match.  And how fun was their getaway car?!  Donut bar and late-night pizza - my kind of wedding!  

Congrats again Kim and Derek and enjoy the photos!

Joey + Kyle: Lied Lodge

Joey and Kyle are honestly the nicest, nicest people I've met recently.  Seriously Joey, I want to make you my friend!  Not only is Joey super sweet, but she knows how to throw a beautiful wedding and an awesome party.  The barn at the Lied Lodge looked absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks to my lovely husband Kevin for second shooting with me.  We had an awesome time listening and partying with the band.  Such a fun day!

Congrats again Kyle and Joey and enjoy the photos!  

Clare + Josh: A Cathedral Wedding, Omaha Nebraska

Clare is just such a beauty (on the inside and out!) and I loved her ballgown dress.  It was perfect for a classic summer wedding at St. Cecilia.

Some of my favorite parts of the day were when Clare shed some tears reading the note that Josh wrote her, when the bridesmaids saw Clare for the first time, when Clare walked down the aisle with her long cathedral veil.  After the wedding it was super fun to stop at the Homy Inn (champaign on tap!) and all of the crazy dancing at the reception.

Congrats Clare and Josh!! 

Kelly + Mark: An intimate courthouse wedding

The wedding Kelly and Mark planned just goes to show you how simply you can plan your wedding and still have beautiful moments and beautiful photos.  I only spent a little over an hour shooting Kelly and Mark's wedding, but I think you'll be able to see the happiness on both of their faces.

When Kelly reached out to me she said "Mark and I were pretty adamant that we were NOT going to ever even say the “M” word. 10 years together and here we are, planning a wedding. Evidently, we’ve softened our stance on the issue!"  

I love that she called it the "M" word!  Kelly's son was leaving for basic training at the end of August and wanted them to get married before he left so he could be part of it.  Seriously, the whole bunch of them were so great.  I loved Kelly's choice in dress, the old courthouse, and their matching rings were so cool.   

Kelly, hope you and Mark enjoy some of these photos!  I really enjoyed meeting you guys and congrats again!  

Traci + Brandon: Omaha Wedding Photography

Traci and Brandon are such a sweet couple.  Soon after meeting Traci, Brandon was diagnosed with cancer, but Traci was by his side the entire time.  Brandon now has a clean bill of health and a beautiful new wife, so I would say he's having a pretty darn good year.

Brandon has three of the sweetest kiddos I've met recently and I just loved how Traci and Brandon had them take part in all the celebrations of the day.  The girls were so cute getting ready with Traci in the morning and they even got to ride on the party bus with the wedding party.

Congrats on your beautiful wedding and thank you so much for letting me be part of it!
