From the moment the day began, there was an overwhelming sense of joy and excitement in the air. Surrounded by their loved ones, Ethan and Brooke exchanged heartfelt vows and officially began their next chapter together as husband and wife. Every detail came together beautifully, creating a day that was both elegant and deeply meaningful.
One of the highlights of the day was the stunning Deer Ridge property itself. The venue provided a gorgeous backdrop for every part of the celebration, and the beautiful suite located in the building behind the venue was the perfect place for the couple to relax and prepare for their wedding day. Every space was thoughtfully designed and made for incredible photographs throughout the day.

The warm sunlight created a dreamy backdrop for portraits of Ethan and Brooke, giving us some of our favorite images from the entire day.

Daniel & Natalie
Palace Event Center Wedding
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to second shoot a beautiful wedding for Daniel and Natalie at Palace Event Center in Iowa. I was assisting the incredibly talented Madisen Paulson, whom I have had the pleasure of working alongside before. Madisen is truly magical behind the camera and does an amazing job helping brides navigate and enjoy their wedding day with confidence and ease.
From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was going to be a special day. Natalie was an absolute ray of sunshine. She had the biggest smile on her face all day long, and her joy was contagious. Watching her and Daniel celebrate with their family and friends was such a wonderful reminder of why I love wedding photography.
The weather could not have been more perfect. May weddings have a special place in my heart, and this day was no exception. The warm sunshine, blooming spring landscape, and comfortable temperatures created the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful celebration.
Over the past several years, I've had the opportunity to photograph and second shoot numerous weddings throughout the area. One of my favorite things about this industry is the chance to collaborate with other talented local photographers while helping couples preserve some of the most important memories of their lives. Every wedding is unique, and I always leave feeling grateful to have played a small part in documenting such a meaningful day.
Congratulations again to Daniel and Natalie! Thank you for allowing us to capture your wedding day. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and many happy memories together.
Claire & Connor
Runza Date 🦖
There’s something extra special about sessions that feel completely you—and Claire and Connor’s Runza date was exactly that.
We met early in the morning, before the doors even opened, and they had the entire restaurant to themselves. It felt like their own little world—quiet, cozy, and full of anticipation for the day ahead. They shared Runza together at a corner table, laughing between bites and soaking in the simplicity of being side by side.
What I loved most was how natural everything felt. No pressure, no rush—just the two of them enjoying a slow morning together. The kind of love that doesn’t need anything extravagant to shine.
Afterward, we stepped outside where they ran around in front of the iconic sign, completely carefree. There was so much laughter, so many genuine smiles, and that kind of playful energy that you can’t pose—it just happens.
Sessions like this are such a reminder that your story doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Whether it’s your favorite restaurant, a quiet morning routine, or a place that means something to you—those are the moments worth capturing.
Claire and Connor, you two made magic out of something so simple—and it was an absolute joy to document. 🤍
A kearney love story 💍
This wedding was such a special one for me to photograph. Teagen isn’t just another bride—she’s a dear friend I met back at UNK when I was a sophomore. We became close during college and have stayed in touch ever since, so being there to capture her and Austin’s big day felt incredibly full-circle.
Teagen and Austin’s love story started back in high school, and after six years together, they finally tied the knot in the sweetest, most intimate ceremony in Kearney, Nebraska. Surrounded by their families, they exchanged vows filled with joy, laughter, and the kind of love that just radiates.
After their ceremony, we spent time capturing family photos and then wandered around for some couples portraits—those quiet, joyful moments that felt so perfectly them. It was such a fun afternoon catching up, reminiscing about old college memories, and seeing how happy they are together after all these years.
It’s such an honor to photograph love stories, but it’s an even greater honor when it’s for someone you’ve known and cherished as a friend. Teagen and Austin, thank you for letting me be part of your beautiful day—I couldn’t be happier for you both!
Mason & Rachel
Flying High with Rachel & Mason ✈️
Some photoshoots are special because of the people, some because of the location — and every once in a while, you get the perfect combination of both. That was exactly the case when I met up with my friend Rachel and her boyfriend Mason at the Millard Airport for a shoot that was equal parts fun, personal, and downright cool. 😎
I first met Rachel back in college through a mutual friend at the Newman Center when I was a junior, and I’m so glad I did. Since then, we’ve done a handful of photoshoots together, and every time I think to myself, “This one is my favorite.” Somehow, the next always ends up topping the last!
This time, Rachel had the idea to celebrate something unique to her and Mason — they’re both student pilots in the aviation program at UNO. How incredible is that? Naturally, we couldn’t resist bringing their passion into the photos. We headed to the Millard Airport, where we got to capture them with their airplane.
Between the soft golden light on the runway, the quiet excitement of being in a place that means so much to them, and the way Rachel and Mason looked at each other, the whole shoot felt like a little piece of their story written in the sky. These photos don’t just show two people — they capture adventure, ambition, and the love of a couple chasing their dreams side by side.
Rachel and Mason, thanks for letting me step into your world for an evening. Your energy, your smiles, and your love for flying made this such a memorable shoot. Here’s to many more flights — both in the sky and through life together. ❤️

🌿 Golden Hour Magic with Hannah & Colton | Pioneers Park Engagement 🌿
This one is extra special to me. ✨
Hannah has been my best friend since grade school. Watching her grow with Colton, her high school sweetheart (they met senior year!), has been such a joy.
These two got engaged on the beach in sunny Florida (can we talk about dreamy?!) and I was lucky enough to capture their engagement session back home at Pioneers Park in Lincoln. The weather had us guessing all day—clouds loomed, and we weren’t sure if the light would show. But right when we needed it… golden hour appeared, wrapping them in the most magical glow. ✨
The session was full of laughter, soft kisses, and golden warmth. You can feel how much these two truly love each other in every photo. It was an honor to be behind the camera for such a meaningful moment for one of my favorite people.
Hannah & Colton, your story is just beginning—and it’s already so beautiful. 🤍
