Samuel and Meg

OK, so yeah, I'm a bit picture heavy in my posts, especially when it comes to weddings, and even more so when it comes to the weddings of my family! But, here's a few, ok, a lot, of my brothers wedding pictures.

The groom and his sisters (obviously I didn't take this one!)

The Wedding Party out at Shiloh Church.

Hiding kisses from the camera...

Hiding kisses from the peepers in the church!

Everyone on a teeny little narrow road... yes, a few people got blocked

But here's the whole wedding party!

Again, my signature 'spinning bride' image

I love these 'unknown' shots.

The drink table and guest favors all in one. Each guest took home a glass of their choice!

Cheers!

Father-Daughter Dance

First Dance

I like to try to get one of each of the Bride and Grooms hands during the first dance, get the rings etc. 

And my usual way to end the wedding.

Love my brother! I took this on his wedding day. His one and only photography request was this picture, at our Grandpa's grave. Our WWII veteran grandpa had passed away just a few months before his wedding day.

 

The Olson's

In July, I had the extreme pleasure of photographing my (little... still can't believe she's married!) cousin, M'Leigh's, wedding. It was so much fun! She married Drew Olson. Ironically enough, Drew and I went to college together at CUNE. He was a basketball player and I was a cheerleader. When she told me that she was dating him (10 years later than when I'd known him) I was really surprised!

After the ceremony, the 3 of us went to The Sunken Gardens in Lincoln Nebraska. It's a wonderful location for photography. 

 This fountain and pavestone walkway was one of the locations that I photographed M'Leigh for her senior portraits in 2005... 6 years later, here we are again!

 This spinning bride pictures is kind of one of my signature shots. I did it on a whim once, digitally painted it, and we hung it up on display immediately. Almost every bride since has requested it!

 Such a beautiful and fun couple!

Congratulations M'Leigh and Drew! Love you both!

Matt and Jennifer

I think this album represents the largest wedding party I've ever photographed...I think... I could be wrong! There was one that I was second shooter at in Iowa many years ago that comes to mind!
 

Either way, lots of fun people, lots of fun pictures! The groom and I graduated high school together, so I knew quite a few people in the wedding party!

Ryan and Jamie

Another Wedding Album:

Ryan and Jamie were one of my all time favorite clients! I photographed their engagements, their wedding, maternity session and their little girl's newborn session! I love this couple... they are SO nice!

This was also my very first 'spinning bride'. We had this background image displayed in the studio and many brides requested it after they saw it!
