Blown Away

Katherine & Tyler first met at the Coffee House in downtown Lincoln. Of course we had to photograph at the coffee house on there wedding day. Katherine and Tyler brought there own style to the wedding. The groomsmen opted out of wearing the basic tux shoes for converse and the ladies attire was a black Marilyn Monroe style dress. As an illustrative photographer I'm always trying to a story and feeling in my images. Before the wedding we talked about recreating an image of Marilyn Monroe standing above a street vent. I mention we could use some small fans, we finally decided on leaf blowers. This wedding party and the images we created, remind me why I love photography. I could not forget to thank Jeremy with Isis Photography for hanging with the video light.

The couch is back!

Elizabeth and Jason wanted something different. One green couch from the 1970's, a downtown Lincoln alleyway and 16 of the craziest wedding party members made it easy to capture cool illustrative images . Thanks again; you guys rock!

Chris & Laura April Wedding

Cris & Laura were married on April 4th. The wedding was at St. Paul Methodist. Within minute of the ceremony the rain started to come down. Plan B for location portaits of the wedding party was at the StarLite Lounge. Much thanks to the staff at the Starlite Lounge. The blue colors of the wedding party looked great in the Starlite Lounge.

The Derek Trucks Band Omaha 2-28-09

The last time The Derek Trucks Band came to Nebraska they opened for Santana. This time they took the stage at the sold-out Whiskey Roadhouse in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Their music is described as blending jazz, rock, blues, Latin, Eastern Indian, and other world music into the sound that now defines the DTB
Derek Trucks, considered to be a guitar prodigy, has played with the Allman Brothers Band, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton to name a few. Check out their new album Already Free. Thanks for the good times. See you this summer!

The Romantic Snowball Fight!!

This Valentine's Day, Clara & Adam had their engagement portraits done. Clara wanted images in the snow and we were very lucky the snowfall from the previous day had not yet melted. Clara and Adam decided to have a snowball fight to top off a fun winter engagement session.

Junkyard Bride!

Want different bridal portraits? Kasandra Smith wanted something totally different. I think we accomplished that by going to a junkyard. Not the Capital nor a park but a junkyard. Much thanks goes to all the people who contributed to the photo shoot:
Petal Creations for the fabulous bouquets.
Tausha Ostrander, the owner of Serenity Salon, for creating the rock star updo!
Jeremy Johnson great friend and a incredible wedding photographer from Bellevue NE.
I cannot forget Cali with A SoundImpression who captured the photo shoot on video.

Kyle & Megans Wedding

Kyle and Megan married on Saturday, September 20th. The ceremony was at St. Vincent DePaul in Seward, Nebraska. After the ceremony we went to the country club in Seward for a couple images of the wedding party. Before the reception at the Cornhusker Hotel we photographed in the Haymarket. These images only scratch the surface of how fun this wedding was.

From the beginning

We know there are some of you, or probably all of you, that are getting anxious for updates from us. We’re ready to bring you up to date, but we’re going to make you wait a day or two :) For now, we’d like to inform you of our intent here. We’ve been thinking about it and have decided that we are going to devote this blog mostly to weddings. The majority of our business has always been weddings, so why not focus on them here. That’s not to say we don’t shoot more than that! However, we realize that weddings are incredibly significant for the people involved and there is a lot of work that goes into preparing for that special day. We’d like to help make it easier for those planning weddings by posting about what to keep in mind for capturing beautiful pictures. In addition, we’d like to provide information about other aspects of planning a wedding in Nebraska, such as recommendations for florists or receptions halls in the Lincoln area. So….tune in for more.
