July 19 2008 - Scottsbluff Nebraska

I had the pleasure of photographing this very smooth and relaxed couple. The day went as planned and was another perfect wedding. The couple has known each other for well over 10 years. They finally decided to tie the knot last Saturday! You might remember their engagement session at Cozads. Remember, clicking a photo will enlarge it.

Some details right...



The bride. The best man put it best, she has the greatest personality:

I love the shades:

The bride and groom:



Think this might be my favorite:

"Who gives this woman..."


After the ceremony the wedding party headed to the Gering Golf Course for some drinks!


Now onto the Hampton. Cake anyone?

The first dance:

Everyone dance their hearts out:

I think the nice army hat with lace was a huge hit:

And this is an awesome sequence. Who bets the little girl landed on her feet?


Congratulations and thank you for allowing me to share the day. The couple headed to the mountains for a honeymoon and will be back after some R & R.

Congratulations to this amazing husband and wife! We photographed their wedding right before we started blogging back in May of 2007. They have such great hearts and are wonderful people. They will make great parents!

Buckle in, I have some photos!

Northfield Assembly of God was swarming with excitement on July 12. I was able to spend the day with a fabulous couple. The groom shares the same enthusiasm as I do about the great outdoors. I never did share their engagement photos, but as soon as we met I knew it was going to be fun as ever! The couple chose not to see each other before the wedding. I think it was a good choice as you could literally see the excitement and butterflies before the ceremony.

Check out the flowers, rings, and the back of the flower girls dress:

Leaving after the ceremony:

The limo was a "tad" bit late to pick everyone up. So we took advantage of by snapping a few:



Finally arriving at the Scottsbluff Country Club:

The Country Club has a beautiful deck that allows guests to mingle outdoors and watch an awesome sunset:

And the decor was top notch. The bride also booked a band out of Colorado. I would recommend anyone that wants a band to contact them via their website:


Check out the traditional tiered cake. However this cake was anything but traditional as it had several hearts surrounding it:

A very touching toast by the matron of honor (which by the way, we photographed last year):

The bride and her father dancing one last time:

The first dance as husband and wife:

Oregon Trail Days this weekend

In light of the Old West and the history of the migration along the Oregon Trail here is a great sunset. Today & tomorrow we will be busy with OT days. This post reminded me that we have been blogging for over a year! I will make a special post about that later. We will be in and out of the studio today and closed tomorrow. The studio will be open on Tuesday.

Everyone local enjoy the activities. We will be photographing the events + several reunions. I also have a wedding tomorrow in Gering that I am super stoked about. This time of year is always the best. Shooting weddings, enjoying BBQ's with family and friends, OT Days, and nice long days!

See you all back here on Monday

St. Agnes, Scottsbluff Nebraska

While Ken was at Centennial Park, I was working with an awesome couple just a few blocks away. We started around 11 and it was already like, 98 degrees. I love photographing at St. Agnes because the church is huge, has several great outdoor locations, and the light in the front of the church is sooo good! Clicking on any photo will enlarge it by the way...

You might remember this couple from their engagement photo shoot back in April. If you do not know this, all of our wedding packages includes a free engagement session. We do this because we want to build a relationship with the couple. This gives us and the couple a chance to work with each other before the big day. We get a chance to show off our style and see how the couple react with each other. Its always good business.

Anyways, I knew from the engagement session that we were going to have a great wedding. I'll be honest, I haven't seen that much kissing for a while. The couple was so into each other.

Some details:


The first look. There was so much anticipation in the air. The bride came up and grabbed the grooms hands:

The flowers were colorful:

We snapped a few in the front of the church:



Then the couple headed to the altar. I stayed back and snapped a few. It was so natural:

The bride told me how much she loved the stain glass window on the balcony. I had to incorporate that somehow...

The ladies:

St. Agnes during the ceremony:

It's official!

The groom's family has a long tradition in their family that is very touching. I believe it started with his great, great grandmother. This cup was brought over from Europe and and was made from love. The person that made it designed it so that two people can drink from it at the same time without loosing a drop! And if they didn't spill it was true love. And just an FYI, the bride and groom didn't spill!

The first dance as husband and wife:


The couple is off to Jamaica for an extended honeymoon. It was awesome to share their wedding day. I am very blessed to be able to spend time with people during one of their most important days! Im so pumped for next Saturday!

July 5th at Centennial Park

Ken photographed a couple that renewed their wedding vows. They have been together for over 15 years which is awesome! Saturday was super hot and humid and aside from the 100 degree temps, everything went as perfect as could be. With their family and friends around, the proclaimed their love for each other again.

The guys:

And the ladies:

The bride and her father before the ceremony:

Their family helped them pour sand into the vase. It was a very special moment:

The couple off to the reception:


While Ken was at the park, I (Nate) was at St. Agnes just a few blocks away. Im still working on editing photos and should have some photos up tomorrow. It was a great weekend for two fabulous weddings!
