Happy Tuesday! Today we are chatting about your "must have". I'm talking about the ONE thing you can't go cheap on. What is your must have? What do you NEED to walk away with after your wedding is over that you are happy you spent money on?

Your guests come to witness you commit your lives to one another. They come to celebrate your new adventure in life becoming husband and wife.
Read MoreDear Bride, What's with the hour long photo session after your ceremony? Grandpa, aunts, cousins, 2nd cousins, everyone's extended family and the list goes on and on. It sometimes takes two hours just to get these perfectly posed images. Leaving you with sore cheeks and a somewhat exhausted spirit.
Read MoreKelsey and I are pretty much kindred spirits. These two are super fun and they were up for wandering our county lines and making some magic. We began our session in a field of weeds (I like to think of it as a field of beautiful flowers, but to each his own) and ended it at sunset over rolling Nebraska hills.

Read MoreThese guys had a lot on their plate leading all the way up to their wedding day. Blake had just become Dr. Helget! They both are leaving for residency this year. Not only are they both incredibly smart, they are so incredibly sweet! The family and friends they had to support them and love on them was unreal. I am still so honored and blessed that they trusted me to tell their story. Thank you Blake and Lindsay! I will forever treasure your special day in my heart.
Read MoreWhen it comes to remembering things on your wedding day, the list is a long one! Three small items I wouldn't forget if I were you!
1. Those little tiny...
Read MoreWhat can I say about these two? They are easy going and FUN! We had a good time celebrating their commitment to one another. I love these guys. And their awesome families. It was fun getting to know every one and celebrating together! They were married in a contemporary church, Lincoln Berean Church, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Their reception was at the Havelock Social Hall, in Lincoln as well.Take a look at Candace's ring too. Wowza. Just gorgeous!
Read MoreErica reminds me of myself in the way that she was married so young.
These two are so in love with Christ and it is refreshing to see them live it out.
Read MoreThese 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 MoreCaitlin is gorgeous as all get out. Jason is goofy and a blast to be around.
Together they created happily ever after.
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. :)
