They wanted everyone to continue through the night with minimal interruption to the flow of conversation. Not holding timelines too closely and going with the natural movement of the day lends to elegant results.

Can’t think of a better way to spend the day than celebrating these two.

Playing in the sunlight at their session last year was a real delight. They enjoyed their time together and I got to play with light as an artist. Best way to spend a shoot.

Off to celebrate these two!

Today’s schedule for me looks a bit like:
8:00 - school drop-off
8:30 - gym time
…
2:00 - wedding day starts rolling
5:00 - they get married and everyone celebrates

A little mix of the ordinary and extraordinary all in one day — let’s go!

Getting ready for her wedding day in her childhood bedroom.

When deciding where to do things on your wedding day. It never hurts to pick places that are meaningful to you.

We’ll leave them just as they are, and you can enjoy a space that means so much to you ❤️

They made sure all their closest family members could be present to witness the start of their marriage.

We took a few portraits before their ceremony — the wind was absolutely crazy on this day! After that, I just stepped back and let them enjoy the time with their family.

Always a joy to be asked to create for my couples.

Traveled to Omaha this past weekend for my first wedding of the season!

Super thankful I always plan to arrive early. During my drive the morning of the wedding, traffic was routed off the interstate on a detour that added nearly 40 min to my drive. I made it on-time though!

What a fun day celebrating with Matthew and Yousra’s closest friends and family. I’m sending them a little preview of the photos. Can’t wait to share soon!
