jessica and justin : omaha engagement photography

I showed you their wedding...let's back up and look at their engagement pictures! These were taken at Lauritzen Gardens here in Omaha...a gorgeous, gorgeous location. And they, as you already know from their wedding, are a gorgeous, gorgeous couple.

They actually got married at city hall on this day, which I will always remember because it's my birthday (and Jess brought me flowers - how sweet!). They had to do it early because Justin is in the armed forces and was deploying. So yes, in the wedding post, they were technically already married. My third such couple, and I have one more wedding coming like that! I thought it was a great idea to do the "engagement" pictures on the same day as the wedding so that they'll always have these pictures to remember it.












A: Did you notice her shoes??!?! and B: Could the light have been any more perfect? Crazily enough, we missed a huge thunderstorm by minutes when we were leaving!














They were truly one of my favorite couples to photograph. She's so ridiculously photogenic! (And so is Justin, if I'm being honest.) They really made my job easy.

I hope you guys are enjoying married life!

Little Mason was one year old, and his mom called on me for some fun pictures to commemorate the milestone!


I could not love these next few bed shots more. It really shows Mason as he is on a daily basis...a total charmer!












Of course, with a birthday, comes...balloons!




Can you imagine a one-year-old with a cake aversion?? I can - I met one! Mason wanted NOTHING to do with the cake. Crazy boy! He'll soon learn that cake is one of the greatest things we have here on earth.



Mom had fun cleaning that mess, I'm sure!

emily and jake : omaha engagement photography

Emily and Jake were getting married out of town, but decided to get some engagement pictures in a city that was special to them - and in a place that was special to them!

No, this abandoned trainyard isn't the special place. It's just cool.
























Waving at a passing train!






After the trainyard, we headed to a very special place...the rooftop of Emily's work, for some amazing views of the city and lights.














Congrats, you guys! I hope married life is treating you wonderfully!
