Kassie and Lee - Engagement Photos Sneak Peak

August 19, 2013:  Lately I've been really trying to work on using one spot to get a bunch of different looks (and as quickly as possible). Engagement sessions are always super relaxed with plenty of time to go exploring, but that's not the case during the actual wedding day so variety in a single location is something I've been trying to consciously work on during engagement shoots.  Here are a few examples of using one spot for a bunch of different looks.

More to come Kassie :)

And one photo of them with their adorable dog Bear :)

Allison + Mike: Wedding Photography Sneak Peak

August 17, 2013:  Yesterday was the first wedding that I shot back to back weekends in the same church (Christ Community Church in Omaha, NE).  I had already found some places that I loved for the last shoot there, but I always want to make sure I'm creating something unique for each couple.  So Nina and I dragged this bench we found inside the church about 50 yards to the prettiest trees on the property and shot from a low vantage point so we didn't get the parking lot or interstate in the background. Big thanks to the groomsmen for dragging the bench back inside for us :) Allison and Mike had the most gorgeous August day and they are very much in love.  Really happy for them both!

Hope you guys enjoy this sneak peek!

If you know anyone that is getting married in the Omaha area, or doing a destination wedding, I'd love it if you'd pass along my name!  If you're a soon-to-be bride interested in availability or pricing, send me an email to amandajkohler@gmail.com

Audrey and John's Engagement photos! Omaha, NE

August 18, 2013:  Being a wedding photographer in Nebraska, you definitely have to deal with what the weather gives you. But this was probably the weirdest weather of the summer for engagement photos. It started off by raining (while the sun was still out), then getting super overcast, then raining again, then the sun coming out. What I've learned though is that sometimes its best to just fight through it because a lot of times the most challenging weather gives you the coolest photos.  And Audrey and John were super cool through the whole thing and we had quite a bit of fun.  I loved all the weird clouds and puddles that were hanging around. There was even a rainbow! Check out this engagement session for another example of a tough weather situation that turned out being really fun.  

Audrey and John, hope you love the photos and I can't wait for your wedding next year at Bev's in Sioux City.

If you know anyone that is looking for engagement photos or wedding photos here in Nebraska I would love to chat with them.  Or if you're a bride planning your wedding and you love these photos, email me at amandajkohler@gmail.com for availability and pricing information!

Katrina + Jake: Omaha wedding photography

July 20, 2013 wedding:  Katrina and Jake have the biggest most infectious smiles. I loved being part of this. I remember during our very first meeting (my only wedding this year that only the groom was able to attend) and I was talking to Jake about the photography and asked him what he was looking for out of the wedding day. He said, "to make Katrina happy."  How sweet is that?

I know you guys are going to have a long happy life together and I'm glad I got to take pictures at the start of it!

PS - big thanks to leah Bockelman for being my second shooter for this wedding!

This wedding was shot at St. Paul's Methodist Church in Papillion and the reception was at the Stockyards building. :)

Last but not least, if you or someone you know is engaged and having a Nebraska wedding (or a destination wedding!)  I'd love to get in touch with them about their photography.  You can email me at amandajkohler@gmail.com.

Mary and Keith Wedding: Omaha, Nebraska

July 12, 2013 Wedding: This was a great day. Mary is seriously the sweetest, most chill person you'll ever meet. And Keith is really funny and is also the first groom that made me all teary eyed when he was toasting his new bride and thanking his parents. Ok Keith, you got me. Ceremony was at Peace Presbyterian Church and reception was at Indian Creek :)

Thank you so much again for letting me be part of your wedding!
