We Couldn't Be Happier...

One of the reasons why I like being a wedding photographer is that sometimes I'm like a mouse in the church. I hear and see things that most guests don't. On the day of Chris and Krista's wedding, I recall seeing Chris walking Krista's mom down the aisle. They walked right by me and I recall her mom telling Chris, "We couldn't be happier." Coupled with the smile on her face and the softness in her voice, brought a tear to my eye. Guess you just had to be there, guess you just have to be a mouse in the church. :)






Little Miss Smiler

Check out this smiley little gal! Not only do I love her smile, but I adore the hair accessories her mama made. She couldn't find the right color of bow, so she made one...I like her style!








Pizzazz

Kendra has what I call a lot of pizzazz. Spunk. Charm. Style. Smarts. Flair. And definitely beauty. The world is just a more colorful place with her in it.







Hot and Steamy

July 17th was a hot and steamy day. This weather sometimes causes people to get a little cranky with one another. This wasn't the case with Jade and Andrew. They powered through these engagement pictures like it was a pleasant 72 degree day. Here's to hoping they treat everyday like they did that day. Best wishes!

Almost Positive

Each time I photograph the Guthmiller's I drive away thinking "ok that has to be it, they can't get any cuter next time." Then I seem them again, and BOOM!...they're cuter. Wade's a charmer with his grown-up, spiky hair and baby teeth smile. Gracie has always been a natural beauty with flowing, curly hair and a "I don't want you to see my smile because I want to act shy" smile. They even dressed up in their Halloween costumes for a treat! I'm most positive they won't be any cuter next time I see them...

Atkinson

Gerdon and Kourtney got married on a beautiful day in Atkinson, NE. I'd never been there before, but I'd have to say it's a quaint little town with a lot of character. Kourtney and her girls got ready in a rustic lob cabin just outside of town. The prairie grass seemed to go on forever, waving with a slight breeze. The blue sky with fluffy clouds set the scene while the round hay bales just soaked up the August sun. There's just something to be said for getting married in the "middle of nowhere". The day was perfect....and so I the couple, as you can see. Congrats Kourtney and Gerdon!

Tacklin'

Little did I know I was going to be tackled during this photo session with the Hayes family. Don't let little Mason's big blue eyes fool you, he'll get you when you're not looking; and I enjoyed every minute it! That's one thing I love about photographing children...they give me hugs, they can get out of hand, and somedays they really make me earn my money. There are days I wish I had children of my own, but somedays it's pretty convenient to "borrow them" and see them go home with their parents. :) Thanks for the hugs and tackles Mason, see you soon.






Destination: Love

Kayla and Nick's wedding was my first destination wedding. It took place on the beautiful beaches of Ft. Myers, FL. They chose a beautiful resort with welcoming pools and beaches. Despite a bit of heat, the day was so perfect. It was a great opportunity for everyone to get out of NE and see some new scenery...and beautiful it was! Congrats Kayla and Nick!
