Love Shoot: Allison + Matt

/

In an attempt to score more gorgeous images (and a caramel apple or two!), Allison, Matt and I headed out to the local pumpkin patch for some fall photo fun. :) The weather was in full cooperation and all was well, except that when we were finished, the place was out of caramel apples! How is that even possible? :) Luckily, there's no running out of good times with the one you love... :) Great job you too!

Love Shoot: Rachel + Jeff

How can you go wrong when you combine an adorable couple with an apple orchard on a gorgeous fall day? Two cheers for great images (and my first caramel apple of the season)! This is hands down, my absolute favorite season of the year... and I'm always extra thrilled when I can combine my love of the season with my love for my clients and the pursuit of beautiful images. I can't wait to bring Emir out here for a visit sometime next year!

Great job you two... totally looking forward to your big day next July!

Baby Cuteness: Klaire

My heart melted the minute my eyes landed on little Miss Klaire. She has *the* most gorgeous huge brown eyes with lashes that I'm pretty sure create changes on global weather patterns with each flutter or blink. She's cute as a button and squishy as can be. Definitely a contributing factor to a severe case of baby fever!

When she was serious... she was s.e.r.i.o.u.s. Gotta love that!

Love this look! Like she's daring me to come another step closer... ha!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??????? I tried to find ways I could run out the door with her and escape Kelly & Blake's notice... but... they were pretty good at keeping an eye on her at all times... go figure. :)

LOVE. :) You guys are all so darn cute!

Down the Aisle: Hannah + Jeremy

/

Engaged in Paris... About to honeymoon in Italy... these two's hearts are wrapped in a worldly romance. How delicious! Their love of travel inspired this yummy vintage/travel engagement session and was the theme of their reception decor (gorgeous! see below!). Believe it or not, poor Hannah had been battling a massive (massive) sinus infection for at least a week before the wedding. While many brides might panic to be under the weather and out of commission so close to their big day... Hannah knew she had Jeremy. He took her to the doctor, got her some meds, handled the day's timeline, worked with all the various vendors, and told Hannah her only job was to rest. (Who wouldn't love that!?) In a nutshell, Jeremy completely rocked it. They're already a dynamic duo... and they've only been married for 24 hours. :)

How adorable are these Eiffel Tower champagne glasses, the globe, and this aluminum camera!? They're all from Z-Gallerie... though I can't find the camera on their site... :(

Party time!

Simply adorable. Can't wait to hear all about your trip... if you guys end up taking the boat from Venice to Croatia... I will be all ears!

Down the Aisle: Lindsey + Scott

Scott is a sensitive guy. He knew he'd be a puddle o' tears during the ceremony... so his mom Sally handed him a collection of tissues. His reply, "These won't be enough." Love that. Here's to never having enough tissues for tears of happiness Scott! Their day was incredible for countless reasons... here are some that come to mind at the moment... 1. They invited the kids to wear Halloween costumes, including the flower girl (see below!) 2. The bouquets were gorgeous, and included PEACOCK FEATHERS! Fabulous! (courtesy of Abloom Floral) 3. Scott carved a pumpkin into a peacock, complete with feathers (see below) 4. The ceremony was held at Bluestem Tree Farm & Vineyard. I've never photographed a wedding out there before (from what I understand, the wedding venue is somewhat new....). And it's beautiful! In Crete, Nebraska... it's only a short drive from the city... pavement all the way! 5. The dinner was catered by The Parthenon. Uh-mazing. The dinner included gyro plates (with a mushroom alternative for vegetarians), an incredible salad, and the yummiest baked potatoes you've ever  imagined! 6. Cake AND baklava? Yummo! 7. Duh. Bird cage veil. Did you think I would forget to mention it? :)

Ummmmm.... Vogue called. They want their cover model back! ;)

Scott has some mad pumpkin carving skills!

Cute kiddos in costume!

By pure coincidence, the flower girl had a peacock costume from a couple years ago.... how apropos! Her basket included peacock feathers instead of traditional flowers... how fun!

Emir scores with this awesome shot!

Ha!

Pure gorgeousness.

Well done guys! I've been looking forward to sharing your big day with you since our first meeting... and once I saw you master the tandem together... I knew your wedding day would be extra fun... and it was! Congrats!
