Down the Aisle: Ted + Stephanie | Wedding Photographer Lincoln Nebraska

I love to hear stories of how couples met. Maybe through a friend of a friend, perhaps someone from high school that was never given a second thought until years later, or.... someone you met at a wedding (of all places!). That's the story of Ted and Stephanie. They met at a friend's wedding in Colorado and though they live in Colorado now, at the time of the wedding that first brought them together, they were each living in different states. They've been dating over the 10 years since that fateful day, and finally tied the knot surrounded by their closest family and friends in dear ol' Lincoln, Nebraska.

With a wedding party of only a maid of honor and a best man, the ceremony was especially intimate. Ever since they were little girls, Stephanie and her cousin Christine swore they'd be each other's maids of honor. Stephanie was there for Christine when she got married, and now it was time for Christine to walk down the aisle in support of Stephanie.

If you follow my blog, you've seen me post shots like this of clocks in the past. I just think they're so cool. Every photo is a small slice of time forever frozen and defined in an instant.... but I especially like to include clocks because they document the passing of such moments in a quantifiable way. With a 6pm wedding, this was where things stood at 5:35pm. :)

The church was beautifully festive....

The reception was held at the Lincoln Country Club and seemed to fit Ted and Stephanie just right. A cocktail party followed by dinner, surrounded by sparkling lights, flickering candles and a blanket of snow on the ground. What a winter delight!

Geared up!

I really enjoyed watching this little guy. He stood here in front of the musicians for at least 20 minutes, just completely mesmerized and totally stole my heart!

As the night was winding to a close, guests came to say their goodbyes. Upon hearing "Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Harris!" and the little girl shouted back, "She's Cinderella!"

You were Cinderella last night Stephanie! ;) Enjoy  your prince charming... and safe travels to Bora Bora! :)
