Megan + Thad | Lincoln, Nebraska

It was the beginning of summer when we met up with Megan and Thad in Lincoln for their engagement session.  The day was full of splendor and life.  Megan and Thad's love for music, books, and baseball flowed through our conversations and photographs like a cool breeze.  Their magnanimous personalities were contagious.  We had such an amazing time with both of them, in Lincoln, at the university's main campus.  The University of Nebraska is a place that all of us love.  It has charmed us with hidden treasures. 

We loved the story of how Thad proposed to Megan, their taste of music, and  thier willingness to go on an photography adventure with us!  Our time with Megan and Thad was full of laughter and their fun-loving nature. We are awaiting their marriage later this summer and we hope that the Cubs win a few games for their sake!

Holly + Paul | Hooper, Nebraska

For a breathless moment time stood still. The hot sunlight beamed with joy as Holly and Paul joined hands in the grove of blossoming trees. It is the feeling of being close and being best friends that surrounds Holly and Paul. We were so blessed to be a part of their wedding day. Holly is so sweet. Her eyes sparkled every time she looked at Paul. Paul is respectful and always thoughtful of others. His care and love for Holly was evident at all times. Their day was about others as much as it was about themselves. From the preparation to the reception their faimly and friends shared in their joy.

Paul + Jennifer | Omaha, Nebraska

When thinking about Paul and Jennifer we smile.  We think of the outdoors, friendship and graciousness.  We think of their thoughtfullness in all things. Paul and Jennifer are such great people. 

Hidden away in the secret nooks of Boy's Town and on a rustic bridge along the West Papio trail we had the great pleasure of taking Jennifer and Paul's engagement pictures.  We began at Boy's Town, and then moved to the rustic bridge.  Both places perfectly highlighted Jennifer and Paul.

We made a lasting connection with them during this engagement session. Jennifer is the sweetest person that you could ever meet.  She is so personable and kind.  Paul is humorous and always brings a smile.  Our conversations with Paul and Jennifer drifted from their wedding preparations to their interests and life itself.  I particularly loved receiving advice about running from Paul.  Hopefully it will help in preparing for a 5K this fall!  We loved spending time with them and we anticipate their wedding!

Tonya + Bill | Omaha, Nebraska

If you have never been to Underwood Street in the Dundee area of Omaha, you need to go and check it out.  It has great restaurants and watering holes full of class and character.  We decided that it would be the perfect place for engagement pictures with Tonya and Bill.  We started our adventure at Elmwood park.  Tonya and Bill were accompanied by their friendly dogs who were all full of great personalities.  The park was wonderful for pictures.  The soft light from grey clouds made every color so vivid and beautiful.  After taking some pictures, it was time for a family portrait with the puppies.  Everyone was incredible (including Tonya and Bill)!  We finished off the engagement session on Underwood Street.  Tonya and Bill are such amazing people.  Their personalities shine and their love is evident in their smiles.  We are so excited for their wedding!

Stephanie + Eric | Fremont, Nebraska

Adventurous.  That is one word that comes to mind when I think about Stephanie and Eric.  Adventurous and mischevious.  Our engagement session was memorable and full of excitement and thrill as we ventured to the place where Eric proposed to Stephanie.  The Fremont Dinner Trains provided an excellent backdrop to their engagement photographs... untill... we were expelled from the area because it was railroad property.  Ooops... The curious thing was that we thought it was part of a park.  It was an exciting time and we had so much fun with the both of them.  Their personalities are contagious and the entire time was full of laughter.  Stephanie looked stunning as her eyes sparkled in the evening sunlight.  And, we loved Eric's hat.  It helped to highlight their personas.  We can't wait till their wedding!

Becky + Matt | Spokane, Washington

Becky and Matt's joyous outlook on life is contagious.  Every part of the day was marked by their wonderful personalities.  The day started at Becky's family home in the hills of Spokane.  The ceremony took place at Gonzaga University, near downtown.  It was in a beautiful chapel on campus.  The ceremony also brought many surprises.  Right before Becky walked down the aisle, the power went out on campus, and, as it turned out, all over Spokane.  So... Matt and Becky had a candlelight ceremony.  It was personable and connected.  Everyone shared in the abundant joy of the occasion and the room was lit with their love.  We later found out that a strong wind blew a trampoline into a power line, causing a power outage throughout parts of the city.  Even though the power outage was unexpected, everything turned out exceptional.  The day ended at the Manito Country Club.  The reception was highlighted by Becky and Matt's AMAZING first wedding dance.  It was a perfect day.
