These two inspire me. The love they have for Christ shines. As they both were getting ready, I could tell how excited they were for the day. Desiree was calm and seemed so happy. Jesse was goofing around and quite honestly was hilarious. When Des walked down the aisle, I had my eye on Jesse. As his eyes filled up with tears of joy, I started crying too. It was hard not to! Worship began and I was just in awe of the Spirit. This day was truly incredible. The commitment they made that day between each other and God in front of their closest friends and family was not only incredibly beautiful, but inspiring. I hope that while looking through these images, you are encouraged and uplifted by their love.

Read MoreThis day was INSANE.
I LOVE THESE GUYS.
As most of you know, from looking around my blog/website, I live in Nebraska but travel often for shoots and weddings. I prefer it that way, as I am not the type to settle down and sit still. I like to get out, explore new places and meet new people. If you are going to have a destination wedding, or out of state event, hit up my contact page! :)
Read MoreIt's been too long my dear blog readers. Or are you blog lookers? ;)
I don't write much (for your sake) so I just share pretty pictures. Yippee! Here are two cuties from Nebraska. They love Jesus. They love each other. Enjoy!
Read MoreSometimes planning an engagement shoot in January can be challenging when you live in Nebraska. Well, I'd say we scored shooting in this crazy cool building.
I can't wait to tell their love story in August. Cheers to you two.
Read MoreMy heart. Erica is my neighbor out here in the country land of Nebraska. I met her when she was a teenager. Young marriage is something that is close to my heart. There is something very special about "growing up" together. Making mistakes and learning through them, together. Staying up late in the night because... college... together. My husband and I were engaged at the age of these two as well. Needless to say, we have something very special in common. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I did creating them with Erica and Mitch. -xo-
Read MoreWoah. I mean... these two not only have a whole lot of chemistry going on, but they also shocked me with some news a few weeks before this shoot. Ana and Kevin's story is so special to me. This couple booked me in the summer time for their wedding the following year in the fall. A few weeks later Ana emailed me and asked if I was available last minute for a shoot. I wasn't, unfortunately. I had been completely booked up for the year. But I had to ask why...? We already had their engagement session on the calendar for next month. Well, turns out they were going to get married early! Like next week.
Read MoreI met with Caitlin before I was able to meet Jason. Herself, mom and sister met with me at Starbucks to book her wedding for next Spring. Jason unfortunately wasn't able to make it to the coffee date. First thing that I notice about Jason as he gets out of their car when they pull up for the session is his GIANT Redbull can. Giant. He comes over giggling and you can tell by the look on Caitlin's face that she is used to her goofy man. I think it was pretty much impossible to get Jason to have a serious face, and of course Caitlin shined. These two were very fun to photograph, even though it was 90 degrees with humidity out here in Nebraska. I'm so thrilled to share their engagement pictures with you! Thank you Caitlin and Jason for making me laugh. You are a joy. :)
Read MoreOkay, so this wedding was all sorts of emotion for me. Katy and Sam have a love that is pure and full of humor. What an awesome couple they are. I adored shooting this wedding. They were classy, happy and full of love.
Read MoreBrittni is one of those brides that need to give advice to all brides to be. She was the most laid back, happiest brides around. All that mattered to her on this day was that she was marrying Hunter. She shined. They shined. It was a beautiful day near the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado. They made their covenant in front of family and friends at The Preserve at Bingham Hill, a lovely venue right outside the limits of Fort Collins.
Read MoreShe emailed me in January, searching for a photographer for her wedding day in June. Six months, some think it isn't enough time to plan a wedding, but let me tell you what-- Jill can. Not just a wedding, a classy and elegant occasion.
Read MoreIt was like we just clicked. Candace and Robbie are easy going great people. I had a fun time getting to know them as a couple. They'll be getting married next June, and I'm honored that I am the one who gets to capture their day.
Read MoreMitch and Amanda's love was radient on their wedding day. I absolutely loved seeing two people so caring and soft hearted become one. Blessings to you two.
Read MoreJune in Nebraska is a beautiful time of year. Everything is green and alive after a long winter. Courtney and Kyle couldn't have picked a better wedding date to get married. The wedding was held at the pumpkin patch that her parent's own outside small town Nebraska. Her dad built the stage off the side of the barn, just for the wedding. How cool is that? Their big day consisted of laughter, balloons, pastels and love. See for yourself...
Read MoreI had a blast with these two!! We first pulled into Malibu Creek State Park for this Engagement session, and it was BREATHTAKING. Such a beautiful view in every direction. The hills, trees, mountains and sky- it was all working out for us. We finished the session on the beach, Zuma beach. It was a warm and peaceful evening. We couldn't have had a better night. I can't wait to shoot their wedding in June. LOVELY. Check out some highlighted images from the night... :)
Read MoreLooking back at the year of 2013, I see how much I've been blessed by the people I was able to meet and become friends with. I thought I would share with you some of my favorite images that we were able to create over this last year! We laughed, cried and made the best of TWENTY-THIRTEEN.
