Alicia and Mark’s story got me from the very first time I met them. Here’s a quick peek at their engagement session and you’ll see why I knew I wanted to photograph their wedding day. I’ve recalled the first meeting to many other brides I’ve met since. Mark and Alicia sat down in front of me and told me about the special Valentine Mark carried in his wallet. He proudly retrieved it and showed it off as one of his prized possessions. And just like he did on that day we met, during the toasts at their reception when the same special Valentine was mentioned he pulled it out and held it high for everyone to see. You’ll see the photo below as proof.
Alicia and Mark’s story is a special one and I feel fortunate to have met them and their incredible family. There were tears and laughter and lots of hugs on their day in September. I felt a closeness that people don’t see everyday. They are genuine with everyone they meet and you can’t help but feel like their friend after spending just five minutes with them.



Indian Creek provided a wonderful backdrop for their outdoor wedding as well as the perfect venue for their fun-filled reception.


Thanks again you two for showing and reminding me what true love looks like. I know you just got back from an incredible warm weather honeymoon. I hope you enjoyed every moment! Take care and thanks for choosing me to document the beginning of your life together.

Omaha’s historic Orpheum Theatre was the backdrop for this vivacious couple’s wedding reception in September. I was thrilled to hear we would have access to such an incredible venue for their wedding day. I met with Rachel and Clinton last December while baby London was still in my tummy. I jokingly assured them that she would make her appearance in February long before their wedding. It’s hard to believe it’s now a year later and I get to showcase the images we captured on their very special day.
Rachel and Clinton make their home in California but Rachel’s roots are in Omaha and that is why they choose the Big-O for their wedding. I really enjoyed getting to know them both at our consultation and during their engagement shoot. I knew Rachel’s impeccable sense of style would be showcased in all the wedding details and of course her wedding gown.
This couple’s “first look” was outside of the Orpheum, under the marquee. How amazing to see your future husband’s name alongside your own on such a brilliant billboard.





Rachel and Clinton thank you for having me along to document your wedding day filled with classic, nostalgic details. The beautiful dresses, exquisite flowers, dramatic lighting and who could forget the vintage Chrysler getaway car! I sure hope you enjoyed your incredible honeymoon in Europe and are loving life as husband and wife.
