Lane Weddings – the blog. – Omaha Wedding Photographer

Earlier in the year, Heather and Nate pretty much decided that they were going to do anything possible to become my favorite clients.  The fun-loving couple are more-than-happy to take that extra step to make sure their photos are memorial and amazing.  Many of you will remember the engagement session under the shower.  Yeah.  That was them.

As I’ve stated recently, whenever possible I like to take my bride and groom outside of their reception hall during sunset or shortly after to try to make some quick, dramatic portraits.  But Nate and Heather are the first to suggest that maybe we leave the reception grounds to go to a more photo-friendly spot.

I’m lovin’ it!

We went to nearby Oak Lake in Lincoln for the two twighlight photos you see here.  Including transportation time, the trip took them away from their reception for less than a half hour. I hope they forever love the results as much as I do.

Thanks you two for being so awesome!

One of the nice things about shooting weddings of friends and family is that I get to drink more beer.  And in doing so, I really had a blast photographing Jennifer and Donovan’s wedding day.  The limo ride was an absolute blast.

Speaking of more beer, that last photo is of Donovan’s nephew, Adam serenading the couple with his rendition of “Shameless.”  But it was only the second-best performance of the night, as the bride and groom made their grand entrance into the reception with Donovan singing “Stroke It” while wearing dark shades with the mic in his hand.

You really had to be there!

Congratulations to Ricki and Scott who had Lane Weddings shoot their Omaha wedding reception.  And congratulations to Alyssa Schukar who shot probably her last Lane Weddings assignment.  Alyssa recently took a job shooting for the Omaha World Herald.  Her photos from the event rocked!

I’ve had fun at most of the weddings I’ve covered, but this one takes the cake. Deb and Tony decided to leave the Nebraska August heat for the cool Oregon Coast. Their wedding was so refreshingly simple, yet extraordinarily beautiful. The guest list consisted of only a few friends and family, hair was done by the maid-of honor, the groom wore flip-flops and the music was provided by the Pacific.

For any you out there wondering if I’m available for destination weddings, the answer is a resounding “YES!”

Thanks Deb and Tony for having me photograph your wonderful event!
