Taylor & Amanda Got Married – In Dallas

March 4th, 2010

In January I had the opportunity to travel to Dallas and shoot Taylor and Amanda’s wedding. I was second shooting with my closest friend Michael Norwood. Its good to have friends who are some of the best in the business. Check out Michael’s work at www.mnpblog.com.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding.

Apparently its a tradition amongst Taylor’s friends to give the groom a little beat down before leaving for the night. This shot was just after he broke free.

Here are some shots from the PhotoBooth we did at the reception.

I’m Gonna Try Real Hard! – Lincoln Wedding Photography

February 11th, 2010

I’ve been inspired by some photographers in Kansas City named The Parsons. They are not only amazing photographers but they made the commitment to blog photos from every shoot they did in 2009 and they succeeded! So here is the beginning of my attempt to do the same thing in 2010. I decided that while sorting through a wedding I would grab just a few that catch my attention and put them on the blog. We shall see how it goes.

January 30 was our first wedding for 2010. Derek & Madison are an amazing couple and over our time working together became much more than just clients. Here are a few that caught my eye.

Photographer Note: I just purchased the new Lightroom presets from Totally Rad Actions. I’m not that into actions or purchasing presets but these things are great. I used a few on these images and did some things that I don’t normally do, but I just wanted to show some of the capabilities. I believe one of the most important things to building a sustainable business is consistency. That’s the beauty of these presets. If you know Lightroom then you can make small tweaks that will give a look and feel that is more tailored to who you are. Anyway, that’s a long enough commercial. I’m just saying, you should give them a shot.

The first of many brides – Omaha Wedding Photographer

November 21st, 2009

So way back, Angie came across some of my portrait work on a friend’s desk at her office. It just so happened that she was engaged and was looking for a photographer. It also just so happened I was starting my wedding business. It was serendipity at its best. (yes I had to look up the definition) The crazy thing was, she was planning way in advance. So even though she was the first to take a chance on me, it ended up that I shot a bagillion weddings before hers. All that to say, she took a gamble and it paid off by getting an experienced wedding photographer for the price of a newbie.

Angie and Patrick got married at the amazing Magnolia Hotel in downtown Omaha. This is one of, if not my favorite, venues in town.

I always love it when the ceremony and reception are in the same place (it makes my job a lot easier). Here at the Magnolia there is no need for compromise to make that happen. The courtyard is amazing, the ballroom is fabulous, and the catering is top notch. If you’re looking for a venue I highly recommend it. I also recommend that if you choose the Magnolia then you should hire us to do your photography. I’m just sayin’…

Personal note to Angie & Patrick – I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys had a lot of faith in me and I will never forget that. Also, thanks so much for continuing to refer your friends to me. That’s the biggest compliment I could ever ask for.
