Down the Aisle: Abbi + Ben | Columbus, NE Wedding Photographer

You may remember Abbi + Ben from their super adorable love shoot where they first captured my heart. I knew from that moment on, that their wedding day was going to be something special, and I've been looking forward to it ever since. When I first arrived, I saw Abbi dressed to the nines not yet in her wedding gown, but in street clothes, as if she was ready for a day about town. She looked adorable. Stylish skinny jeans, a darling top... and a pair of sassy boots. With so many ladies arriving in carefully planned sweat pants and various forms of pjs, I asked her why she was so dressed up. Her reply? "I wanted to feel good today. I went for a run this morning.... I feel great!" It showed Abbi! You looked great too! But of course, no one is surprised by that....... ;)

Is it just me or are these shoes fabulous? This girl has some serious style.....

From what I was told, Abbi's dad had been emotional all weekend. Having a real soft spot for dads, I was thrilled to be able to capture this moment when he saw Abbi as a bride for the first time...

Meanwhile, Ben gets some finishing touches from his dad who didn't think his tie looked quite right......

I am in **love** with this image from when Ben and Abbi saw each other for the first time....

And this one...

The wedding took place at Peace Lutheran Church in Columbus, Nebraska. A beautiful place!

Are you seeing a trend? Look at those smiles! They are fun. Plain and simply.... fun. I just adore them. So full of life, love and the best attitudes. This image speaks volumes.

I am drooling over Abbi's hair and bird-cage veil! I think I may have to get all dressed up again and stage a photo shoot with Emir just so I can have a bird-cage veil (quite possibly the greatest thing. ever.)

Time to celebrate!

A seriously attractive wedding party (7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen strong!)

omg. in love. x infinity.

Their reception was beautiful. Abbi has quite the eye....

Glam.

What a wonderful day surrounded by loving friends and family! I am so thrilled for you both and the new family that you've become.... thank you so much for inviting me to be part of something so magical! Hugs to you both! :)
