Happy to be posting the first wedding of this summer’s wedding season. It was a beautiful day in Dodge, Nebraska. I couldn’t ask for better weather. Bright, blue sky with big, fluffy clouds and just the right temperature.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day. There were many to choose from!
The first image on the left is taken from their “first glance moment”. So glad when the bride and groom choose to see each other before the ceremony. It gives us much more time to get family/group images done in a non-rushed way. Plus I think it’s much more romantic.
“There are many advantages to seeing each other before the wedding. Wedding photographers often suggest this approach because it makes their job easier, but this is also when the bride, groom, bridal party and family are at their best: the bride and bridesmaids’ hair and makeup are fresh, while the groom and groomsmen are not anxious to get out of their tuxes yet. Best of all, your family and wedding party are not at all distracted to rush to the reception, or to participate in the wedding day’s festivities. This healthy pre-ceremony atmosphere creates a smooth tempo to sound the drum of the event’s opening.” -written by WPD Content Contributor: Heather Nelson. Original full length article is here.
Look at the support from all these beautiful bridesmaids. Love how they’re helping add to the excitement before Emily walks down the aisle.
And this next image tugs at the heartstrings for me. If you know me, you know how special my relationship with my Dad is. When it was time for him to walk me down the aisle at my own wedding we were both shaking with emotion. It was such a special moment that I’ll never forget.
I always look for this same moment when I’m photographing weddings. How special that Emily and her Dad turned and looked back at me with huge smiles right before they walked aisle together. This one’s definitely a fave for me. Hope you love it too Emily!
And this last image is a fun one too. Who knew Dodge had so many cool photo ops? I’d never been there before but was pleased to find this great old gas station with this good looking car out front. Hope they didn’t mind that we borrowed it for this shot! 🙂
Many Congratulations to you Emily and Steve! We had such a great day for the beginning of your life together. You two were so much fun to photograph together.
And thanks again for some of the best tasting wedding cake I’ve had in a long time. My assistants and I really enjoyed it!
Absolutely stinking cool photos! You rocked it! Are you aware that you did? Because you did ;o) L O V E the last shot with the old car….coolness!
I’ve waiting and waiting to see some of your photos. I love, love, love the ones I’ve seen so far. The one on the car is really neat with such a neat camera lens. I’m anxious to see more pictures as soon as you get them in order.
