Nicole + Bobby {ENGAGED!}

I first met Nicole at a meeting with another of our brides, and I had no idea she was engaged (or about to be!). She seemed like such a sweetie, and I was SO excited when I got an email weeks later sharing her good news!

We sat down with Nicole and her mom shortly after and heard all about her plans for a gorgeous vintage, old-Hollywood theater wedding...and I was SO excited!! We talked all about different ideas for pictures and different ideas for their engagement shoot and I couldn't wait to see her again (and meet Bobby, of course!).

We got a great day for their shoot and we started down in the P&L to get some vintage-theater inspired pictures. Since we didnt get to go INSIDE a theater like we had planned, we decided to shoot some outside, and luckily this part of town has 2 within walking distance that both have a nice vintage vibe- I was in LOVE with her dress!! And Bobby was so sweet- they are such a cute couple!

After shooting downtown we headed out to Lake Jacomo for some nature-inspired settings...this was my first time out here and I loved it! The water and trees made for some fantastic backdrops (and we only hit one area!) and again, I was digging her dress!

My favorite part of the shoot though had to be the shoes...they had shoes with their wedding date airbrushed on them, and it was probably one of the cutest things I have come across lately. I absolutely LOVE how the shots with the shoes came out- they look so in love and excited!!!

Enjoy a few teasers from their shoot, and be sure to visit out Facebook Page, like us, and check out some more from their shoot as well as many others!

Can't wait for the wedding- hope you both had a blast and that you enjoy your pictures!

Elesha + Pete {ENGAGED!}

I met Elesha at our Spring bridal fair back in February and I instantly liked her! She started telling me about her wedding this summer and while we were chatting I noticed her son, who looked like the last place he wanted to be on a Sunday morning was at a bridal fair with his mom! I started chatting with him and learned that that particular Sunday was more important than others- he had a VERY important game he had to play in, and he was very happy his mom had made a decision because he COULD NOT be late! In fact, he was headed there right after they left the show, he informed me, and I noticed he was dressed and ready- I then understood that this must REALLY be an important game! :)

So after they left I was super excited Elesha had chosen us to be a part of her wedding. I couldn't wait to meet Pete at their engagement shoot and for Adam and I to get to know them a bit better. The day of their shoot came and at the last minute, crazy insane winds made us have to postpone...but a week later we were able to try again and this time we got gorgeous weather! We started off at Kaufman Gardens down off the Plaza and then headed to the waterfront. They had a beautiful day, and Pete is such a fun guy! We learned all about the importance of fishing and talked about their wedding day and the fun ideas for pictures. It was great finally getting to get to know them (AND, I found out her son did in fact win that all-important game!)!

Here are a few favorites from their shoot! We hope you enjoy the preview! Also, if you haven't already become fans of our Facebook Page, head on over and be sure to "like" us- we posted more goodies from their shoot over there!

Ayleice + Craig {Engaged!}

I met Ayleice when I was in high school at Roncalli. She was a year ahead of me, but we hung around with some of the same friends and we got to know each other pretty well...then she trasnferred to Northwest, where ironically enough, she met and became friends with Adam.

So imagine my surprise, many years later, when an email pops up in my Inbox, saying she was engaged! We hadn't talked in years, and it was so exciting to hear about her wedding plans- and Adam and I were honored that she had asked us to capture the big day.

We met on a perfect weekend up in Omaha for their engagement shoot downtown. The weather was great, and we managed to find parts of the downtown area that were not overrun with people out also enjoying the beautiful day. It was so much fun getting to see Ayleice again and getting to meet Craig. They are adorable together, and it turns out Craig went to Roncalli as well- just a few years earlier- so it was fun getting to reminisce about the good old Crimson Pride days. ;)

Here are a few goodies from their shoot- we are so excited to be a part of their wedding this summer. I hope you guys had a blast at your shoot, and I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Sarah + Adam {ENGAGED}

Just got done editing these beauties from Sarah & Adam's engagement shoot we did a couple weeks ago up in Omaha. These two are probably one of the cutest couples we have had in the way they interact with one another. They had some awesome ideas for the shoot- incorporating bikes (from Sarah's time living in the Netherlands) and songwriting (which they both do), among other things. We were SO excited! We had the perfect day for everything, and the downtown area was the perfect backdrop. I love the bike shots, but I have to say my favorites are the ones with the guitar and songbooks...the way Adam looked at Sarah during these shots was priceless- you could almost feel the love he felt for her every time he looked at her.

Sarah emailed me before the shoot, telling me that they were a bit camera-shy (which surprised me, given all of their super fun ideas!)...but you would never know it from these pictures! They acted like pros all day, and Sarah was gorgeous- Adam is a lucky guy! ;)

These are a few favorites from the time we spent with these two. We are so excited for their wedding next month and can't wait to be a part of everything! I hope you both had fun and enjoy these goodies! (Be sure to become a fan of our Facebook Page as well, to stay up to date on other new teasers and goodies!) ~ Cass

Kelly + Caleb Engagement

We met Kelly and Caleb late one night (and by late, I'm talking, close to midnight late!) in Omaha after trying to coordinate schedules for quite some time. When we aren't always in Omaha and you have a couple who works in the overnight- things get a bit tricky! But we didnt mind, and we spent the wee hours of the morning discussing their wedding plans for next May at the Joslyn.

We were so excited to see them again, after discussing their engagement shoot for many months. They decided on the beautiful botanical gardens and we got a perfect day for the shoot- although warm for September! Kelly had some great ideas and inspiration for her shoot, and I was super excited to put these ideas into action! It is always SO much fun for us when we get to try out new ideas in shoots- it makes for some great new images!

I loved their outfits and the vintage vibe that was the inspiration for the shoot. Kelly had an adorable outfit, and I was totally digging the hat on Caleb! We shot all over the gardens- including tying some picture frames to trees for the last part of the shoot! How FUN are these pictures?!

Here are a few favorites from the day! I am digging the vintage inspired shoots lately! It gives me so much to play with while I am editing, and I LOVE the muted, antique edits. Their clothing and background just led perfectly to this vibe!
