Sarah and Mark album

Sarah, and Marks album pages have been posted. Great looking couple!

I didn't shoot a wedding this weekend. I attended a wedding as a guest for the first time in a few years. I left my camera at home, and danced with my wife, and daughter.

New service announcement

I am happy to announce I am now going back into the business of shooting senior portraits. I stopped doing them for a few years because I wanted to focus my attention on weddings, and to be honest with you the old "portraits only" style of shooting didn't get me as excited as the story telling ability of wedding photography. I came up with a Eureka moment last week. I am now going to shoot the seniors in the same "Day in a life" style. I'll shoot them with the intention of documenting everything that the senior fills their day with. I plan to include music, hobbies, Friends, school, jobs, cars, pets, parents, grandparents, etc.... in a non portrait style. I will more, or less follow the senior around for a few hours, and describe who the person is. I will also mix in some portraits, but it will be fun, and fresh moving from portraits to journalistic.
The seniors will receive an album that will describe who they are. The wallet sized pictures they hand out will be replaced with a business card with information on the back such as myspace page addresses, blog addresses, email address, etc. It should be fun. I'll be posting pricing, and booking information soon.

Sarah, and Mark

Last Night I had the pleasure of shooting pictures for the Wedding of Sarah, and Mark. Incredible! I can still get emotional at these things. The combination of Sarah's Father as the officiant, Mary's incredible singing, and a weekend of watching Marks Family throw complete support on this marriage was enough for me to get choked up more than once during the ceremony.
"RICK FLAIR" WWwwoooooooooooo!!!! Sorry. For those of you who weren't there you won't get that part. Thank you for having me as your photographer. What an honor.

Engagement pictures

Spring has officially arrived! I shot the first spring engagement session of the year last night. It was beautiful. Kelly, and Joe are a handsome couple. We had a great time at the Heartland of America Park. We had a pretty decent sunset. They looked great in front of it. As the humidity kicks up, the sunsets get more colorful. Thanks Kelly, and Joe.

Nate and Jen

This Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting wedding pictures for Nate, and Jen. They were so obviously having a great time. Here is a lesson for all Brides. Things started off kind of interesting. The guards at the gate at Offut Air Base wouldn't let me in because they couldn't find my name on the list. The Groom, and his groomsmen spent the next hour trying to get guests in the gate. This type of thing could destroy a Bride. How did Jen handle it? She was smiling, and laughing. Nothing was going to ruin her day. She had a beautiful wedding. When her cousin hugged her, and knocked her veil off she laughed harder than anybody in the church. In the end she was a beautiful Bride with a Beautiful wedding. The pictures tell the story. Look at her smile!

Love this picture

As I sit here, and edit Heather, and Dan's wedding pictures I find myself cracking up with laughter. You can't really tell in this picture unless somebody points it out, but the Trellis is going down. Right over the cakes. It was in slow motion. we saw it happening, but there was nothing we could do. No real harm done. Very funny moment. I loaded them out of order, but you get the idea.

Limo's gone wild

It seems every year the Limo companies have to come up with some crazy new idea to top the previous year. They went from the standard limo to the "Stretch" limo, then to the "Bus" type limo, then the "Hummer", now the Nascar limo. I can't wait to see how they top each themselves next year.

You've got to loose control

Here is the picture of the Bride that has no fun on their wedding day. They are the Bride that doesn't trust anybody to get stuff done for her on the wedding day. It's the Bride who comes out, and moves the guest book table 6 inches to the right, then re-ties the bow on the 3rd pew, then has a major fit because somebody forgot the fancy lighter she bought for the candles, and now they have to use matches. She sends her brother to her house to get it, and now we have to worry if he will make it back on time. Ladies.....don't do it. Have your meltdowns, and compulsive moments the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding. Then let go on the wedding day. Trust your plans, and enjoy the beautiful moments. It will never happen again.

Heather and Dan

Saturday I had the pleasure of Photographing Heather, and Dan's wedding. Heather had the most uniquely beautiful dress of the year. The Limo was crazy huge. They had a 40 minute drive to the reception so it was a good choice. You guys proved once again that the parties in Nebraska City are as fun as they get.

Kevin, and Kate

Friday Night I had the pleasure of photographing Kevin, and Kate's wedding at Saint Margaret Mary's Church. Kate was such an elegant Bride. It was obvious that Kevin realizes he is a lucky guy. It was fun to be around the Tarsney family again.
