Planning for an autumn wedding in the midwest: trying a year ahead of time to pinpoint the perfect two- or three-week stretch so as to take advantage of perfect weather and seasonal colors, all while evading potential 90-degree temperatures on one end and snow on the other. Quite a conundrum, it can be.
But Bennet and Hilary nailed it. Colors were at their peak and while rain showers rolled in that evening, daytime weather was ideal. Oh, and they chose to wrap the evening with a waffle bar, sooo…

Cozy like a Hallmark Christmas movie.
Connor and Rachel are planning to wed at Omaha’s Holland Performing Arts Center. I’m excited to be able to work alongside the lovely gals at Lovestruck Events and be witness to it all.
Brian, Lauren, one of my favorite regions of this country, and that ridiculous seasonal glow. It all came together on a hilltop adjacent to Lauren's childhood home, where her & Brian's closest friends and family gathered for an evening of merriment.
Brian & Lauren's full set of photographs can be seen right here, from whence prints can also be ordered.
Nearly too much cool for a set of photographs.

One could reasonably inquire, "There's a lot of fluff out there in wedding world... what's absolutely necessary for a wedding?" To which I respond – in tandem with this set of pictures – by saying, "Not much... maybe a friend, your dog if you so choose, an officiant and some greenery?"
John & Alex threw caution to the wind and did away with a lot of the traditional wedding pieces in lieu of heading to Liberty Memorial on a Monday afternoon, making things official, and then setting out for a few portraits with a good friend and their dog in tow. I was lucky enough to not only document said activities but be a legal witness, and the entire afternoon was just delightful.
