Jake & Alexus

“Yay for the bride!” “Yay for the bride!” This was the chant that the bridesmaids did for Alexus all morning as she got ready. It was such a fun filled day filled with such positive energy and a whole lot of belly laughs.

The weather in Sioux City called for 100 percent storms all day. This obviously can make a bride feel stressed and a little down. Jake & Alexus didn’t seem to even notice the forecast. In fact, it wasn’t even brought up once. They knew their day was ending as husband and wife and that’s all that really mattered. And guess what?!? It only sprinkled at the very tail end of their day. Alexus didn’t seem one bit stressed when her dress wasn’t finished or ready for pick up the day before. Not one little bit! She was more excited about being Jake’s wifey than let that little detail ruin her day. And you guessed it….her dress arrived right at 10:00 am that morning. So, just for good measure, “Yay for the bride, Yay for the bride!”

Days like these are magical. Rain is always a recipe for rainbows. And you seriously can’t beat a good rainbow. Am I right?

The Roberts

There were several times during this session that I was triggered by my cuteness aggression.  What is cuteness aggression?  It’s defined as the urge to squeeze, scream, or “die” over someone or something so cute you can barely stand it.  So there we were, off the beaten path, cuteness TIMES THREE.  This session was so fun and laid back! Our girl Bijou, directed the poses and provided the comic relief while Leo just did Leo and we freaking LOVE Leo.  And we made it through without squeezing little Lewie 🙂

Amanda & Duggan

When our brides have babies our hearts want to burst with excitement!  But when one of your favorite couples is having a baby you get some smoke bombs and light those puppies up.  And that’s just what we did.  Amanda & Duggan will forever make us laugh and we love every time we get to be around them.  They are going to make AWESOME parents and we love watching our clients move with the flow of life.

Kota & Emi

Kota & Emi’s wedding day was a perfect reflection of how they are as a couple. The day was intimate, the energy was calm and we felt surround by love from the beginning to the end.  Their families flew all the way from Japan to be apart of their special day and surrounded by their closest friends and family they said “I do” . The ceremony took place inside this magical floral paradise at the beautiful Lauritzen Gardens in the very peak of Spring.  Their reception was full of fanciful and charming details, mostly handmade by Emi and the entire party was seated at one long table.  Making a saki bomb cheers the perfect arms length away from your neighboor across the way.  The evening ended with a few cocktails, some trivia and Kota & Emi sporting fake mustaches on the dance floor.  So yeah, we’d say it was night to remember.  

Also, a huge THANK YOU their wedding coordinator Mrs. Elle Mcleay from the Aaron Carlson Design Center for making their day easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Jake & Alexus

Jake, Alexus and Bri are our favorite three people!  We love when humans request the presence of their beloved pups and we couldn’t have been happier at how their engagement session went!  Located in the Loess Hills, we took off on our adventure just as the sun was setting.  Every time we do an engagement session in the Hills, we are in awe of it’s beauty!  Fun Fact: Did you know black squirrels are only from two places in the world….Loess Hills and the Yellow River Valley in China.  Luckily for Bri(their pup) we didn’t run into any 🙂 We absolutely love how these turned out and can hardly wait for their wedding next year!

Much. Fun.  Enjoy their gallery below!

Nate & Becca had the wedding of their dreams.  Every detail of their day had an emotional attachment and a little personal flair intertwined.  These two are simply a perfect fit. They belly laugh at each other’s jokes, gaze into each other’s eyes and you can just feel the immense amount of love they have together.  Weddings like this just feel right.  Check out their day below!  We had so so so much fun!

Dan & Jordan

Dan & Jordan’s love is so very sweet.  It’s so kind and gentle.  It feels and looks so effortless.  They are a dream to photograph because their love is so easy to capture.   

These two love to travel together!  So Vail, Colorado was a perfect destination for their nuptials. They packed up their two pups and two cats and hit the road to say their “I do’s”.  And what a perfect location!  Vail simply belongs in a photograph.  From the mountain scape in the background to the adorable little town center, we were struck by the beauty of the blue ridges and the even bluer skies.  Dan & Jordan wanted their wedding to be small and intimate with a little bit of snow.  All of their dreams came true that day and we were so happy to be there with them.  So here is to a beautiful year full of love, light and happiness ever after.

Tim & Melissa

Tim & Melissa are two of our favorite people!  They say that they are so lucky to have worked with us BUT we are the ones that are forever grateful.  We learned so much from these two. We didn’t just document their love, we witnessed it and we felt it down to the very core of our fat hearts.   Their day was absolutely perfect…with one minor mishap at the end that left our lovely bride in the back of an ambulance headed to the hospital.  Melissa was such a graceful beautiful bride that she didn’t let that get her down!  She knew her day was perfect because she married the man of her dreams.  And that right there proves what love is all about.  It’s in sickness and in health…and they passed with flying colors.  We are eternally grateful for these two and the bond we created with them and their family.  Here’s to a happy and healthy New Year!

Kyle & Ashlin

Kyle & Ashlin are seriously THE BEST.  Honestly, it was love at first sight for us but when they asked us to be their wedding photographers with a poem, the deal was sealed.    Not only are they pretty much the funnest people to be around, their families had the biggest and baddest dance party we have ever witnessed (and took part in).  Ashlin kept the day completely traditional from the veil (it’s her mother’s) to church she and her four siblings went to grade school at.  Kyle followed his heart with a bow tie for him and his band of brothers.  The day was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t be happier for them!  Enjoy the fun below!

TJ & Darci

TJ & Darcie seriously made us lol all day long.  These two do not take life too seriously and they are so fun to hang around!  And that’s what love is all about….being comfortable with each other.  Being able to be yourself with each other.  Laughing out loud together.  Flirting with one another.   We learned so much from these two!  Love is so good to us and we can not thank our couples enough for showing us all kinds of love.  These two have such a fun future in store for them!  Here’s to loving & laughing together, forever.

Mike & Brooke

Mike & Brooke are as sweet as honey.  And that’s exactly what they gave as party favors to their wedding guests at The Fountains in Glenwood.  Their day was purely perfection.  From the beautiful crisp morning to the gorgeous sunset, we could not have asked for a more beautiful day.  Surrounded by their family (who we absolutely adored) and their closest friends, we danced the night away.  Leaving the reception, we beamed from ear to ear with gratitude in our souls and joy in our hearts.  We are so lucky to  have such perfect beautiful couples that let us document what love truly is and what love truly feels like.  See their beautiful day below!

We were so excited after we met with Kota & Emi!  Their wedding is this spring at the beautiful Lauritzen Gardens….one of our very favorite places!  And of course for their engagement session they wanted something outside surrounded by the beauty of nature.  Definitely, our kind of people!  Enjoy the images below!

Mathew & Michelle

We had such a lovely day with Mathew & Michelle!  Michelle literally laughed and smiled the entire day!  She was beaming from ear to ear and there is not one picture I have of her where she wasn’t looking absolutely joyous.  And that is what it is all about!  Take note brides, don’t let the little details get to you.  Be giddy, be happy, be joyous because this is your day.  ENJOY every minute.  Your wedding day comes and goes so fast, why waste it on anxiety and perfection.  Be like Michelle and freakin’ ROCK your day!

John & Maggie | Engaged

John & Maggie are so much fun to be around!  We literally laughed during our entire session together, so much so that our cheeks hurt when we called it a night.   These two wanted to do more of an urban look for their engagements so we headed to a few rooftops in downtown Omaha.  And what a beautiful night it was!  From the breeze to the cloud coverage,  everything was absolutely perfect.  Awesome couple. Fun photographers. Perfect weather.  It really doesn’t get much better than this!  See our session below! 

 

Dan & Jordan | Engaged

Dan & Jordan couldn’t make us happier if they tried.  They are so in love and so gentle with each other, it makes our fat hearts even fatter.  These two recently contacted us to capture their small intimate wedding in Vail, Colorado.  We know it will be a magical Winter wedding and we can hardly wait for these two to say  “I do.”  Check out their Fall engagement session below to see how much fun we had together! 

Tyler & Alyssa | Married

 

We met with Alyssa on a cold winter day at a small coffee shop in Omaha.  The moment we met her we knew two things; she was over the moon excited to marry Tyler and she had been waiting for this day her entire life.  Even a year away, Alyssa had every detail beautifully planned out in her mind.  So, when we arrived at The Holland Performing Arts Center for their ceremony, it was exactly as she had described it.  Alyssa was glowing in love.  And Tyler was just as excited to be her husband,  These two are meant for each other and it gleamed through their eyes.  We hadn’t met Tyler until the day of their wedding but we instantly fell in love with him! And his personality poured out on the dance floor.  Their day was beautiful and their evening was an absolute blast.  We could spend forever with these two!  Lucky for them, they get to do that with each other!  Here’s to many years of happiness!  We simply adore you two!

 

Aaron & Shannon | Married

Shannon & Aaron couldn’t be any cooler if they tried!  The day started at the beautiful Magnolia Hotel in downtown Omaha (we LOVE the LIGHT at the Magnolia).  After the bridal party was prepped, we headed to the Temple Israel for their traditional Jewish ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful and refreshing.  Then it was to the gorgeous Lauritzen Gardens for their succulent filled reception!  AND to top it all off, we basically had back stage access because Aaron had worked there for the past 7 years!  How lucky are we?!?!    

We just love getting to know our clients and their families and seeing their love shine through.  Aaron & Shannon have a beaming relationship!  They are supportive of each others’ dreams and aspirations and they just have something that we all strive to have.   The kind of love that makes you feel good, just by being around them.   Being with them all day was effortless and breezy!  And getting to know their families was such a lovely treat.   We are forever grateful for these two!  So here’s to you guys, Shannon & Aaron!  Mazel tov!!

 

Sean & Katie | Married

We seriously feel so so blessed to have had documented this wedding.  Katie & Sean said their “I do’s”  in Cancun, Mexico at the beautiful Sapphire Now Resort.  Thanks to Your Travel Center and our amazing travel agent, Kristine Thiessen-Randall we had the time of our lives.  Spending the week with Katie & Sean’s family and their closest friends was really a beautiful experience and one that will forever be remembered in our hearts.  We started our adventure with one amazing couple and came back with a second family.  We laughed together, cried together and we sweated profusely together.  It was beautiful.  Again, thank you to Your Travel Center  for making our trip so easy and seamless.  It was a destination wedding that will never be forgotten.  Enjoy the images below!

 

 

Kati & Bobby | Married

Kati & Bobby are two of our favorite people.  Why? Because they are so unique and different from each other it’s refreshingly beautiful.  They may have different personalities but their love for each other is identical.  And you can see it by the way their eyes sparkle when they look at each other.  So of course their wedding was perfect.  Literally, perfect in every way.  The nuptials took place at Our Lady of Lourdes and the reception at the gorgeous Lauritzen Gardens.  With a live band playing in the background, we danced the night away with their closest friends and family.  It was so perfect that the Amazing Stinko even bloomed, a rare plant that has opened up  only  200 times in history, and never in Nebraska.  The night was a stinkin’ hit (lol).  So, like we were saying….Kati & Bobby are two of our favorite people. 

Jason & Nicole | Married

We are so happy  that Jason & Nicole’s hearts found each other.  They are seriously soulmates with so much love to give that it literally radiates from them.  AND their day was absolutely perfect, just like they are.  Of course, we were over the moon excited about their barn wedding (we LOVE farms).  The Popken’s farm in Fremont is a perfect little red barn for a small and intimate wedding.  When we arrived we felt like we had found a little piece of heaven nestled right here in Nebraska.  The day started off with a little rain which symbolically made for a beautifully fresh beginning for these two.  We laughed, we cried and we enjoyed being with Jason & Nicole as they started their new life together.  Love is seriously so good it hurts and we can’t wait to see what these two have in their future. 

Brady & Katie | Married

Brady & Katie are such a fun and unique couple!  Their wedding was tailored made just for the two of them.  It had a lot of class and a little bit of twang all mixed into one.  Katie, originally from the midwest and Brady. a farmer from the South.  These two customized their special day to fit each of their wants and desires.  The wedding took place at the beautiful St. Vincent DePaul and the reception was held at the amazing Omaha Design Center.  They even took dance lessons for their very first dance as man & wife.  We were beyond happy to celebrate their big day with them and we even ended the night with a celebratory cigar from their cigar bar.  We LOVE our couples!  

Kati & Bobby | Engaged

We seriously LOVE these two!  Kati & Bobby are so easy to work with!  They have the best ideas and just know exactly what to do behind the camera.  They flirt, they gaze and they are completely themselves behind the camera. These two wanted something different and came up the idea behind their shoot!  Mulhall’s is a beautifully local owned nursery with an indoor area that makes us jealous.  There are so many colorful backdrops!  We were visually overloaded by the possibilities.  We LOVE our clients and their visions!  Check out our session below <3

Mike & Brooke | Engaged

Mike & Brooke wanted an open air vibe to their engagement session so we headed to Lake Zorinsky because of its vast sky and native tall grasses.  It was a frigid afternoon and we literally had the place to ourselves.  These two are pretty rad.  They are beautiful, light-hearted and laid-back. And we felt an instant connection!  We can not wait for their beautiful day!
