Phew! We knocked this out in the "Nic" of time! (Did I really just say that!?) :) With their wedding right on our heels (this August!), we finally made some photo magic happen after 2 reschedules and some serious weather issues. The long wait paid off.
Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!
Sometimes, all you can say is—wow. I've been lucky enough to have Jenny in front of my lens before, and she has always captivated me with those eyes of hers. This time, she brought Brett with her, and I got to watch the ways in which they captivate each other. 2012, here we come!!! :) xoxo
I'm so excited for September! Jenna and Kevin are getting married in West Point, and it's been entirely way too long since I've been up there for a wedding—can't wait to come back, it's always a mini reunion or sorts. As an added bonus, On the Fritz will be playing, and I heard there's a wedding grand march in the works!
July 30th seems like a long way away from the snow covered grounds of today... but as Kara and Kevin could surely tell you... it'll be sneaking up on us before we know it! :) Kara has the most gorgeous wavy hair... and Kevin? So comfortable with the camera in his face... we scored some great stuff!
Drizzle is their new puppy... we couldn't leave her out!
Looking forward to July!
These two love the white stuff. In fact, they regularly head west to Colorado to hit the slopes on their boards. While we don't have slopes like they're used to here in Nebraska, we didn't have to look far this week to find some of the white stuff. Luckily, we got our shoot in on Monday afternoon, just before things took a turn towards crazy. Travis & Lindsay were troopers... frozen fingers and all!
She's a flight attendant. He's a programmer. They're both adorable. With a May wedding on the calendar... we squeezed in their love shoot tonight with the last few leaves hanging around on the trees in a dazzling display of cooperation from mother nature. :) It's been awhile since I busted out the tilt-shift, but shots like this are why I keep reaching for it now and then...
We found one of the few trees around still sporting a full flock of leaves... how nice of it to play along! Meghan and Brandon brought a full picnic basket complete with french baguette, grapes, cheese & cider (and a surprise muffin treat for me!). All the yumminess was wrapped up in true crafty maven style using Meghan's grandmother's fabric swatches...
Their first date was the movie "Pride and Prejudice," so naturally... a leather bound book copy was a must here! (wrapped up old skool style in Brandon's belt = love)
Meghan and I dished on the adorableness of Brandon's cheeky smile lines.... so cute!
We did it guys! Full speed ahead for May!
I'm not sure how many times I've crossed paths with these two lately... but we had a ball meeting up again today! This time, our sole purpose was just that: getting the two of them in front of the lens! :) She and Jon are planning a classic June wedding... and today was a celebration of the road leading them to June! An equestrian since a young age, we met up at the stable where she and her mom board their horses... a gorgeous night! (Pshhhhh.... You know Hailey had me wrapped around her finger the moment I saw that red coat of hers... what a gem! Ha! I'm such a sucker for red!)
How cute is this first image?!
Delicious!
I LOVE this!
Cute as two little buttons!
Sassy stable time...
:) Super job guys!
I love when I just 'click' with my clients, it makes everything seem to flow so... effortlessly. Wendi + Jon are just plain cool like that, like we could hang out and talk over wine & cheese plates for hours. :) (Jon is a wine distributor... his knowledge and passion on that subject alone could keep the conversational ball rolling for quite some time... entirely fascinating!). As we walked, talked (and shot), they filled me in on some of what they're looking most forward to on their big day, and some of the family traditions that will help make it so special. The only bummer? I have to wait until May to capture it all for them! :) Ha!
You guys are nothing short of fantastic. Thanks for inviting me to share such a special time in your lives with you... let the countdown begin! :)
I LOVE this shot... I love thinking about what their future children will think of it someday... probably something along the lines of, "Look how gorgeous and in love they are..." I'm just romantic like that I guess...
Both of these gorgeous people are super laid back and easy going... and it shows in images like this...
Another super fave!
Avid Husker fans... how could we resist?
Hugs to you both... and thank you SO much for the wine!
Another gal with a healthy obsession for the color red and British phone booths? YES! No wonder we got along so well! Brittni and Scott drove over from the big O to dazzle my lens with their gorgeousness. Would you believe these rad phone booth shots were all Scott's idea? I tell ya... I {heart} these two! :) Their big day is less than six months away... March, here we come!
Re-ow! LOVE.
I can't get enough of these buttery, sun-flare romance shots... I think everyone deserves to see themselves in this light!
Is it just me, or could Scott go pro with his mad modeling skills? Love the look on his face!
Leaves!
Brittni & Scott's lil' baber 'Buddy' was on-hand for a few shots... such a little doll!
Super love!
This season has been amazing! And not just because of the unbelievable weather (though, that has been a huge part of it.. and I am thankful every single day). The front of my lens continues to be graced by gorgeous people in love... and we always manage to have a good time. Carrie + Mitch were obviously, no exception. (Carrie's bombshell hair was out. of. this. world!) Look out June!
