October 10, 2009 - Bayard Nebraska

While I was in Scottsbluff, Ken had the honor to photograph a very special wedding at the Greek Orthodox Church in Bayard. We have photographed the bride's cousin's wedding a few years ago at the same church. Since then they have remodeled and it looks pretty sweet!

The bride and her ladies got ready at a house next to the church, while the guys were at a different location.

The flower girl was so interested in the bride getting her makeup done.


Gotta get these two together.

Tony went with the guys and had a little fun after everyone was all dressed up.

Nice.

Double nice

The nicest!

Ken stayed inside with the ladies. Man it was cold outside.

It was a Greek wedding., which is find totally awesome.

They had the reception in Bridgeport and the place was decked out.

During the reception, per tradition, there was several favours all over the place, even on the cake table.

Did I mention it was a Greek wedding?

First dance as husband and wife.


Another wedding this weekend. This one is super special as it is my cousin. Im so stoked to see all of the family. PLUS, it's a Halloween wedding. From what I am told we are to wear our favorite costumes. Im heading back to the 70's so be sure to check back next week.

Scottsbluff Wedding

So please, click on the photos to enlarge them.

I spent the day with two very awesome people and many of their very awesome family and friends October 10th. I have known almost everyone in the wedding party for years. It's a small area and pretty much everyone went to school together. I was so pumped when they hired us last year and I couldn't wait for the wedding and to get some sweet images.

The bride and groom are some of the most laid back people I know. You can tell how true and full of love their relationship is just by the way they talk with each other. The maid of honor said it best during her toast, that the bride hasn't changed and groom hasn't tried to change her. They are true to each other.

And man was it a party! Everything went smooth except for the damn snow!

When I showed up everyone was pretty much ready to go.

I felt so good about the images when all of the ladies braved the 30 degree temps for photos. The light was great along this hallway.

So was the bride:

Together:

Check em out rocking it!

The party started early. The guys snuffed out the drinks from the brides father's truck.

So this sequence will be a story to remember. Can you spot the cone?

Plus, this goes to show I prefer to shoot, then ask later. Kind of my philosophy :). We were in the street while a police officer happen to stop by. He wanted to pick up the cone, but also let us know it was a safety hazard to be in the street. Bummer.

Fast forward. You could literally feel how her father was feeling walking down the isle.


Talk about a big rock. The mother of the bride was the priest at the church. So she had a special sermon to the bride and groom and incorporated the rings. It was so true and touching.

And were married!

We made a quick stop at Monument Shadows DURING the snow. But they made for some great images.


They had bobble heads for their cake topper. Nice!

They also had a live band. In fact, it was one of the groomsman's band.



Their first dance as husband and wife.

Such an awesome day. Im so thankful I was able to captured their wedding day. Congrats guys!

Senior - Gering Nebraska

i photographed this early last week and it was a blast. But, I didn't expect any less because she is my cousin. And we captured some awesome images.


This week will be so busy. Kat is out of the office until her son can recover from the H1N1. Our wishes and thoughts go to her right now. Im gonna keep this short so I can get back to hammering out some photos.


So the Huskers lost this weekend. Total bummer. They didn't execute offense. Do we need a change in some play calling and quarterback? I can only hope they can rebound and finish strong in the conference.

#295 - Senior Scottsbluff

Quick reminder to all seniors before we get started. Make sure you contact your photographer to submit your yearbook pose asap. You have to choose your photo, we do not do it for you and deadline is fast approaching.


This senior hails from Scottsbluff and had tons of personality. Ken had a great time during the photo shoot and ever single photo turned out awesome!


Wow, I cannot believe we have made 295 blog posts since we started this thing a few years ago. Post 300 will be special since we have been in business for our 30th year next month.

Senior - Mixed



We have two separate seniors to share today. Ken has been photographing seniors like crazy the past few weeks. Seems like we are having more book later.


This reminds me, any senior that has not chosen your yearbook photo please do so ASAP. We are fast approaching the deadline and it would really suck if you did not get in the yearbook.
