Cara & Zach
Although C&Z’s wedding took place on a rather rainy day it sure didn’t put a damper on their spirits. This was one of the coolest weddings I’ve been to lately. Their colors were turquoise and brown with little accents of peacock feathers. On the back of their programs they had an image of a peacock with the following verbiage: “The peacock symbolizes benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion and luck.”
How fitting for their theme since these are all things that are important in a marriage.
I was very excited to be a part of this wedding. From our very first meeting I could tell that these guys were special. My feelings continued when we got together for their engagement session. Not only is their relationship and how much they love each other unique but also how kind they are to others. They have always been wonderful to work with and every time I get together I feel like I’m meeting friends.
And without further adu, here’s a sneak peek of your wedding photos,
This first shot is so emotional. I love it when grooms send their brides special gifts with handwritten cards before the ceremony.
It’s not just the girls that get all spiffed up on the wedding day.
Cara was a beautiful bride!
I love this shot of them admiring their new wedding bands side by side.
They rented the Excalibur from Accent Limousine which was the *perfect* backdrop despite the rainy weather.
Don’t ya love the turquoise umbrellas? They fit in perfect with the brown and turquoise/peacock color scheme.
Their first dance was choreographed! They didn’t miss a step once, it was perfect! Seriously, I was getting jealous. I’d love for Chuck and I to be able to dance that way.
And one more shot at the reception as they enjoyed dinner.
Thanks you two for choosing me to be there with you on your day. I had THE BEST time with you guys. Your family and friends were wonderful to be around. I can see why you’re all so close.
Take care and I’ll be talking with you soon!

One year later
I'm really excited to share some new images on this post. Especially since the photos are of some very special people. Let me backtrack a little and explain . . . I photographed this couple a year ago at their May Wedding. I've known the groom since my freshman year of college out at good ole' UNK. He's always been such a good friend to me and I felt lucky to get to photograph his wedding day. Well fast forward to a couple weeks ago when he called to set up a photoshoot as an anniversary gift to his wife. He asked if I thought it'd be a good idea and I was impressed . . . of course it's a good idea! Photos are a perfect and memorable gift and I'm not just saying that because I'm a photographer! ha ha
C and J have a bunch to celebrate this past year. They've built a beautiful new house out in the country and have added a new pup to their family. I couldn't wait to incorporate them into our photoshoot.
I really enjoyed my evening at the "Lee" farm! Gotta love the Green John Deere tractor and our interpretation of "American Gothic", which was totally Casey's idea by the way. He mentioned it jokingly on on the first phone call. Don't know if he thought I'd really attempt it or not!
Oh and as we were chatting after the photos were done Jessica looked up the traditional Anniversary gifts and for one year it's *paper*. So Casey had the right idea after all! So for all my couples getting married this summer . . . maybe I'll see ya again in a year if you take this route. hmmm, I see a new marketing campaign on the horizon!

6 months of cuteness
I got to visit baby B recently for her 6 month photo shoot. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more smiley baby! She certainly makes my job easy since she’s so happy. I always enjoy visiting with her parents too.
I’m so glad we got to go outside and take some photos in their front yard. The last time I visited it was winter time and the outdoors were simply not an option.
Look how green their front yard was!
This baby’s blue eyes are spectacular! Her Mama found the perfect outfit to show them off.
Love these photos of Dad and daughter interacting. No wonder she’s such a happy baby!
Take care guys, I’ll have her entire 6 month gallery done and posted by tomorrow. Watch for your email with the link.
