Rick & Jessica

February 19th, 2009


On Valentines day I shot a very low key wedding in Nebraska City at the Lied Lodge. Low key as in 8 total people. It was a lot of fun though. I wasn’t sure if I was even going to blog this wedding but it’s the slow season and there are some fun shots to share. Plus with only 8 people I was able to get right in the action and get shots you would never be able to get at a traditional wedding. So the ring shot and the vow shot were taken during the actual ceremony.

Thanks Rick & Jessica for the amazing Valentines Day buffet. It was great being with you guys on your special day.

These shots are a little more “flashy” then I normally like, but hey it was dark. There were some ladies singing in the lounge area so we asked if they would sing a special song for Rick & Jessica to have their first dance. Then we turned it into a dance floor for everyone.


  1. Michael Norwood says: Nice work sucka! The wedding party shot is SICK. Love that shoe shot too!

  2. Jessica says: Matt, The pictures are fabulous! YOu are an extremely creative, artistic and talented photographer. We can't wait to see the rest ...

Cruz McCarty… This guy is destined to be a big time movie star or pro quarterback with a name like that. Cruz’s parents are some good friends of ours, so I was excited when they asked me to do his newborn session. It was a blast, and it was even more fun watching Tyler freak out when Cruz peed all over his multi thousand dollar guitar… “Urine! I see urine!!!” – Tyler McCarty

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.
