Tiffany & Tom (Valentine, Nebraska Destination Wedding Photographer)

When my sister-in-law, Tiffany, got engaged to her English boyfriend, you can bet I dreamed non-stop about their wedding pictures. When would I ever have this opportunity literally right down the road from my house?!?! The thing is, this wedding day far surpassed anything my imagination could've dreamed of. It was perfect. I mean it. I felt like I was transported to England, ha! I had to double check a few times with all the English accents echoing around me ;-)

The bride and her London housemates, as well as numerous friends and family, gathered together the week of the wedding to make this DIY event happen. I'd say they pulled it off.

An amazing artist and fellow photographer, Debs (Deborah Grace Photography), allowed me to photograph this day with her. Debs has been Tiffany's housemate the last 3 years and I'm honored to know of her. If you're ever in England and in need of photography, I highly recommend her.

I definitely went overboard in posting so many pictures, I apologize, but not really ;-)

Sheena & Brent (Smith Falls State Park, Nebraska Wedding)

When this couple said they were getting married at Smith Falls, I could not have been happier!! It's one of the prettiest places in Nebraska in my humble opinion ;-)  And to top it off, we had the best Spring day- not too hot and enough of a breeze to keep the bugs away. Check it out...

Robin & Zach Engaged (Cedar Rapids,Nebraska Wedding & Engagement Photographer)

You might remember these two from the surprise proposal I photographed back in October (view their movie here). They chose October 14, 2017 as their wedding date and I'm so darn excited! These two drove over 4 hours to little ol' Merriman for their engagement session and also brought their dogs AND race car! Yes, I said race car. My "job" is never boring I tell ya ;-)

I was so distracted by the cuteness overload from these two that I realized we had less than 10 minutes to unload the race car from the trailer and do an outfit change for sunset pictures. Panic mode set in (I was genuinely worried we were going to miss the sun and 4 hours of hauling a race car across Nebraska was going to be all in vain!). Oh, what little faith I had. My couples are like no others. They rallied and seriously, got the most AMAZING photographs right at sunset. My dreams came true. Take a look...

(And yes, there is a Cedar Rapids, Nebraska. Crazy.)

Brandi + Chuck (Mullen, Nebraska Wedding Photographer)

These two had the right idea. Find a church in the middle of nowhere and get married there! I loved every laid-back minute of this day; just their immediate family, a glorious Sandhills day, a church and a town where the Bride's family were born and raised, and a sunset that represents this couple in every way...beautiful. I love these Sandhills and the people in it! Here's a sneak peak of their day...

Featured on Nebraska Wedding Day's Blog (Nebraska Wedding Photographer)

One of my favorite 2014 weddings was featured on Nebraska Wedding Day Magazine and Blog's website! Rebecca & Evan's weddings was so unique and beautiful. The Prairie Club provided a gorgeous background for this couple and their family to witness exchanging of vows. Check out their wedding here.

Yay, a blog post! I'm so excited to update the blog with this wedding straight out of my dreams! Seriously, I loved everything about this day, this couple, their family, EVERYTHING! They chose to have a small, intimate gathering at the Prairie Club Golf Course south of Valentine, Nebraska. There was no fuss with a large wedding party, just their immediate family and themselves; so representative of their personalities. Enjoy!

Thank you SO much to this couple and their family. I have never met such sincere and kind people! Blessings to your marriage.

Tileena + Aric (Nebraska Wedding + Destination Photographer)

It was wonderful to be back home in Idaho for a bit, and the cherry on top was photographing this gorgeous, over-the-top wedding! You could tell that every little detail of this wedding was carefully thought out and planned. I love my DIY brides!

I met up with the bride (and her adorable daughter) for some getting ready shots...

Tileena's bouquet....no words....

The bride and groom...also no words :-)

You can't tell, but the wind was blowing at least 30 mph. No joke. But they didn't care! Love them!

The girls were having fun...

...and so were the guys.

They made a great party!

The details of this wedding were so personal and unique. You could tell the bride and her family put many hours into making everything.

One happy family!

Nicole + Eli (Destination Wedding Photographer)

When an opportunity like this comes up, as a photographer, you don't say no!

I was asked by my good friend to be a second shooter for a wedding in Sheridan, WY. Some of you by now have heard of the most talented Alissa Ferullo of Alissa Ferullo Photography. I am constantly in awe of her work every time I see something new on her blog. She never ceases to amaze me with her lighting, composition, and just plain talent of capturing a person's true beauty. Thanks again Alissa for being a great mentor and giving me this amazing opportunity to learn and grow as a photographer.

Nicole was relaxed throughout the entire day...she made a beautiful bride.

Her dress was absolutely gorgeous...simple, but stunning!

The flowers of the entire wedding were perfect for the atmosphere of the location. I just loved her bouquet.

Some AMAZING portraits of the bride and groom...they know how to work the camera ;-)

I just loved these two...probably my favorites :-)

The ceremony presented it's own set of details that made the day even more lovely...this pickup was the perfect vintage touch.

The happiness of the entire family was evident all day, but especially when the beautiful bride walked down the aisle.

Husband and wife!

The reception decorations/details did not disappoint!

The weather in Sheridan was a bit crazy that day.....picture freezing cold temps one minute, melt your body temps the next, and then monsoon rains just a little while later! But the gorgeous couple embraced it beautifully and had fun :-)
