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!
