A fun day at the park

One of our clients brought their granddaughter in for some photos. They live in Germany but were back home for a while. We were able to get some great photos even though she was a bit shy as you can see in the first photo:

I believe her bears name was Lucy. I tried to get them to dance, but she was sticking to her guns:

We headed to the park for some fun. We found a few flowers that had some great color to them:

But after seeing the swing she was done:


Everyone have a safe and fun 4th of July. The studio will be closed so we can celebrate as well!

Photo of the day

I do not know how we survived without Photobooth!

Congratulations K & J!

If you know this lucky couple, congratulate them. We will be photographing their wedding in September. Im super pumped about it because the groom has a brother that I grew up with. Its going to be exciting photographing some fun people and see old friends.

June 28 Wedding: Sidney Nebraska

Wow is all I can say. Ken photographed this wedding and I helped out Aaron since I was unexpectedly free (long story). My first impression when I walked into the church was OMG! the light! Holy Trinity had some of the most beautiful light in the front of the church. Ken took advantage and was able to capture some stunning images.

Everything went perfect. A cool 90 degrees, the wedding party was great to work with. Family and friends were so happy and the bride and groom were amazing. There were balloons everywhere for the exit and the decor was perfect. In fact, I have a favorite new cake! All future brides need to call Sue's Hallmark in Sidney (at (308) 254-2793) and ask about their cakes.

Onto some photos shall we:


The bride had a personal message on this heart:

The ceremony:

The crazy wedding party. We stopped at the park for a few photos and some video fun. They had a horse drawn carriage and it was my first time riding in one of those things. Im sure the video will be everywhere lol!:



Check out the groom's cake:

Finally, the first dance as husband and wife:

Slow photo week

Its been a while since I have updated the blog. This week is a very slow "picture taking" week. The whole team is SWAMPED with baseball/softball photos. Baseball went out yesterday, softball will be going out in the next day or so. Check with coaches for your photos.

I went to Bayard last weekend for my family reunion. We had a total of 102 people show up. The only two that couldn't make it was my cousins Kerry and her family and my cousin Jason and his wife (Kerry is in Minnesota and Jason is gearing up for another deployment to Iraq). It was a blast and huge success in part to my mother's siblings :).

Here is a shot at my grandparents whom I love so dearly. They have been married for over 60 years.


Ken is photographing a wedding in Sidney this weekend. I am heading to the same wedding with Aaron to assist with his video needs. Its going to be a blast.

Seniors!

If you recall last year we did the Seniors of the week every Friday because of the amount of seniors we photograph every week. Im thinking we might do a few things different this year. I want to show off several photos from each session. That way our clients can get a chance to see their photos (not to mention to show them off to the rest of the world). Not sure how it is going to work, so stay tuned through the summer.

We have already photographed 3 seniors! Im going to start off how we ended last summer. Instead of having you wait until Friday I can throw a few up today!




We are in the process of relaunching our proofing section. The old system will be phased out and the new and improved proofing section will be hotter than ever! If you have issues and cannot find your online gallery please contact us right away and I can get you squared away.

Engagement Shoot

Other than the wind, it was a great Saturday. After talking about some wedding details we snapped a few in the studio, then headed outside to shoot some more.Dont they look great together?


This awesome couple will be getting married in September and we plan on being there capturing every moment.

06.07.08 - Another great wedding dates!

Aside from 08.08.08, this is another date we had several brides calling about. I had a previous engagement, but Ken was available and spent a wonderful day with this lovely couple. You might remember their engagement photo from February. And speaking of which I know the bride personally; we went to high school together and graduated in 97. By how the time flies! And YES!, my first blog post from the new Mac's. I promise to get some photos up of our new stations.

They were married on St. John's in Scottsbluff. Ken made a point to let me know what I was missing. He got some great shots. Check out the back of the dress (again, clicking will enlarge):

And the bride...

The groom during the ceremony. I like the cheese the best man has on his face!

The bride and groom together with the wedding party. Everyone took a few minutes before the reception and headed to a hot spot Ken has.


They had a great slideshow to look back on their lives. The guests enjoyed it as much as the bride and groom.

The sun setting on the Country Club was just amazing. The couple spent a few minutes with Ken to grab a few shots.


It was a perfect way to end the day. Congratulations to the couple. We should have the initial design of the book ready soon.

May 31, 2008: Wedding in Scottsbluff

Sorry for the delay. Like I mentioned we had some technical problems (which are at a complete standstill by the way. Note to photographers, Photoshop CS3 and OX 10.5 are not compatible when working from a network/server).

I took Aaron with me again to shoot the ceremony and whatever happens afterwards. This couple booked with us a year ago. I first met them at the grooms sister's wedding in 2005. We have photographed the family beginning at senior photos even before 2005. And this is the most awesome family!! It was great seeing everyone again and being able to be a part of the couples special day! I think we rocked the photos (go ahead, click on the photos!).

Some details:



The bride getting ready. Her father came into the room and they had a few words. It was a very special moment:




The first look:


The bride and groom. WOW!:




The Wedding Party. Apparently the groom can do something with his tongue:




The bride's grandmother couldn't make it. Still, the family kept grandma updated:


The ceremony:


Its official. Probably my favorite sequence. Afterwards, the wedding party stopped to get some refreshments and cigars!:




A very heart felt toast. I love how the bride reached out and held the maid of honors hand:


The cake! After some heavy negotiations, they still decided to get a lil' dirty. I think the bride got the worst of it...



The first dance and husband and wife. I love the mood in the second photo; probably my favorite photo:



So there you have it. It was an awesome day! I feel so lucky to be a wedding photographer and to be a part of this wedding. I hope the honeymoon is/was awesome!
