Hottest day of the year....I wish my assistant had one of those little battery-operated fans!

Lindsay & Jeff E-Session

2008-08-19T12:08:00.000-07:00

Super fun e-session with Lindsay and Jeff. My goal for every engagement shoot is to find a unique location that will best showcase my client's personalities. This was definitely one of my favorite shoots. Enjoy!

Molly & Joe

2008-07-15T09:35:00.000-07:00

I had a blast with this couple from the windy city last weekend. Beautiful historic church, Ollie the Trollie (numerous stops around town), gorgeous weather, and a super lively reception at the Scottish Rite. Perfect. Tad bit early for the yawns...

Saint Margaret Marys is definitely one of the most beautiful churches in town and one of my favorites places to photograph weddings.

One of those perfect light situations that every photographer dreams about...

Shots of Jamison at Barretts. Classic.

Soon to be a very historical photo...

Let's see if you can find me in this photo!

The Scottish Rite is very elegant, warm, and inviting.

Cheers!

Katie & John

With all of the crazy weather we've had this last month or two, I've been really fortunate to have near perfect weather on wedding shoot days. By near perfect, I mean that there have definitely been down-pours and freak storms, but not when the wedding party or guests were outside.

Katie Lund and John Baker got married on June 21 at Saint Margaret Marys. The beautiful, traditional ceremony was followed by a cruise of the city on Ollie the Trolley. This gave the out-of-towners a chance to see the city, as well as relax before the reception, which was held at the downtown Hilton.

I had an amazing time with this couple and wish them all the happiness in the world.

Cheers!

Here's a quick slideshow of the day:

Ready for Fall???

2008-06-16T15:01:00.000-07:00

I know summer is just getting underway, but Autumn is the best time of year for engagement sessions. The light is gorgeous and the fall foliage offers an amazing backdrop for photographs. We still have some openings for engagement sessions this fall.

Below are a couple of my favorite Autumn engagement photo shoots. Enjoy!

Memorial Day Weekend

2008-05-28T13:19:00.000-07:00

Shot an amazing wedding at Lauritzen Gardens the Sunday before Memorial Day. A huge storm front moved in with some crazy, but typical Nebraska spring weather. After the front moved over, we had some of the best light I've seen in a long time. Salut Jenn & Michael- have fun in the Caribbean!

Kutak Rock

Sandhill Cranes

2008-04-16T08:01:00.000-07:00

Every year an amazing phenomenon happens in central Nebraska. Approximately 700,000 Sandhill Cranes stop to hang out out on the Platte river between Grand Island and Kearney for about a month. Fossil records show that these amazing creatures have been stopping here to rest for around 9 million years!!!! Each spring, this massive group of cranes passes over Nebraska as they fly from their wintering grounds in northern Mexico to their summer destinations of Siberia, Alaska, and Northern Canada. No matter what I'm doing, I always finds a few days to hang out in the country and photograph some cranes. Here are some images from this year. Enjoy!

2008-04-14T09:44:00.000-07:00

Skylar

2007-12-24T12:37:00.001-08:00

A beautiful late fall day at Memorial Park was the perfect setting to capture Skylar in action. I think I had as much fun as she did running around and enjoying the spectacular autumn afternoon.

Every season provides a unique backdrop for once-in-a-lifetime portraits of your little ones or your entire family. Sledding anyone???

Rachel & Michael

2007-10-08T15:54:00.000-07:00

I love this couple- they were amazingly fun to work with, had awesome personalities, and had an incredibly unique wedding....complete with a bluegrass band from Boulder, CO. A fine mid western fall evening on the mighty Missouri! Thanks guys...

A Little Wind

2007-10-08T15:45:00.000-07:00

A beautiful fall day, gale force winds, and two of the cutest kids you've ever seen...Super fun portrait shoot with Jack and Nora.

Sarah and Nick

2007-10-08T15:30:00.001-07:00

It was the busiest September yet, which is why I haven't posted in a while. Sarah and Nick got married at All Saints Episcopal, stopped off at the Dell for a quick drink (or two!) and then headed off the the Durham Western Heritage Museum for an incredible reception.

I hadn't been to the museum for years...I highly recommend spending an afternoon there...or talking someone you know into having their reception there!

Lisa & Mark

2007-08-05T22:12:00.001-07:00

Lisa and Mark got married just outside of Evergreen, CO on a beautiful summer evening...Love the red barn!

Josh & Sara

2007-08-05T21:59:00.000-07:00

I was just digging through the archives and came across these awesome portraits of Josh and Sara we did at Red Rocks. The oh-so-cute baby in the post below came into this world shortly after these shots were taken!!!!

Baby Blue Eyes

2007-07-17T09:47:00.001-07:00

I had a wedding in Colorado last weekend and arranged to stay with some of our closest friends; Josh and Sara. Their little girl, Maya, just turned one, so it was time for her 1 year portrait session. Sooooooooooooooooo cute...

Emily & Blake

2007-07-17T09:42:00.000-07:00

Quite possibly the hottest, buggiest day of the year! We chose Two Rivers recreational area for Emily and Blake's engagement portrait session. I look forward to shooting your wedding this fall!

Kat & Jeff

2007-06-26T12:00:00.000-07:00

Kat and Jeff got married at the Arrowhead Golf Club outside of Littleton, CO on June 10, 2007.

The wildflowers were blooming and the weather was perfecto.

Congratulations Kat and Jeff- you guys are truly an amazing couple!

Worms and Catfish

2007-06-26T11:42:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to come up with some ideas for my "Summer" concept for my marketing materials. It's part of an ongoing series of images that define my interpretation of the 4 seasons.

For Summer, I wanted to create a classical, timeless image of two boys out on the river bank having a good time. I found an old Butter Nut coffee can in my parent's garage, filled it with dirt, and welcomed home a couple dozen night crawlers.

Here are a couple of images from the photo shoot. Let me know what you think.

Tucson, AZ

2007-06-26T11:31:00.000-07:00

Last month I traveled to Tucson, AZ to document Audrey and Dominic's wedding. I gave myself a few extra days to get acquainted with the cultural and scenic offerings of the area.

The cacti images were taken in and around Saguaro National Park, a truly unique and magnificent place.

Their wedding was at the historic Arizona Inn. The light and color of this place was absolutely magical. I could have photographed these two for days...

In Your Face

2007-06-26T11:23:00.001-07:00

Occasionally, I dream up new ideas for images to use for marketing campaigns for the commercial side of my business: www.iwenexposures.com.

I've been working on an series of promo images to send out to clients that features the 4 seasons. The shoot for "Spring" was a lot of fun...Thanks to Craig, my brave model, for taking numerous buckets o' mud to the face!

Spencer y Jen

2007-06-26T10:24:00.001-07:00

Spencer and Jen own a restaurant in Crested Butte, CO (The Ginger Café-best food in town!), and close the place down during the off-season, which is when they typically head south for a month or so. This year, they decided to gather up their closest friends and family and have their wedding celebration in paradise.

Sayulita is a sleepy little Mexican fishing village just about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast. This gem boasts amazing surf, delectable food, and spectacular scenery. The couple got married at a mansion overlooking the ocean about a mile north of town. It was hard to fathom that I was actually working- it felt like a scene out of a movie.

My fiancé and I stayed to document the week, which included zip line tours through the jungle, a fish fry with super fresh mahi mahi caught the same day, and countless hours on the beach. Spencer rented one of two rental cars available in the village, a 1965 Volkswagen Thing! Muy Bueno. I’m pretty sure that thing hasn’t had shocks since the 70’s!
