Lane Weddings – the blog. – Omaha Wedding Photographer

Jess and Scott’s wedding at the Nebraska State Capitol capped off a three-week trifecta of friend and family weddings.  With all due respect to the other weddings, this one took the cake for it’s beauty.  I had a heyday with all the play on light and with the architecture within the capitol building.  Scott?  Well he just had a heyday.

I’ve been a friend of Scott’s for quite some time, and had the pleasure of being a staff photographer with him at the Grand Island Independence.  Scott’s support during my last year at the Independent is responsible for getting me and my business to where it is today.  It pleases me immensly to see him spend the rest of his life with somebody as wonderful and beautiful as Jessica.

After the wedding I enjoyed the Embassy Suites reception, where in addition to working a bit, I spent the evening chatting and dancing with some familiar faces from yesteryear (particularly enjoyed spending the afternoon and evening with Gerik and Mike, who you can see below hoisting a jubilant Scott).

Thanks, guys!

Doesn’t Sarah, my wife, look absolutely beautiful at 8-months pregnant?

Clearly there are going to be some changes going on in my home life.  Our two-year-old son Owen has no clue what his life has in store!  Truth be told, his mommy and daddy probably don’t either!

My business has seen some massive changes too in not only the past year–which saw a move from Grand Island to Omaha–but in the past weeks.

Lane Weddings has always been a premium product line of Lane Photographics.  Recent energy has been channelled towards building another product line of Lane Photographics, one focusing on young families, their children and babies.

New look: One of the first things you’ve probably noticed if you follow my blog is the new logo.  They’re both new versions of Lane Weddings and Lane Photographics.  The new look, clean and elegant, hopefully reflects the top-shelf product Lane Photographics attempts to create.

New digs: This past month had me busy moving to a brand spanking new studio.  I’ll share part of the pace with a few other photographers.  While the dust isn’t yet settled, and not all the fresh paint is dried, we are really looking forward to sharing this awesome new space with our clients.  Check us out at My Studio, 11138 Q St. in southwest Omaha.  You can see the “before” photos at http://laneweddings.com/downloads/studio Updated photos sure to come!

New faces: One of the people occupying an office seat in the new studio is Sarah (see above).  In addition, I am truly blessed to have brought aboard Teresa Prince, who will be the principal photographer and managing the family and baby portrait line.  Teresa is an incredible talent who comes to Lane Photographics from the world of newspaper photography.  She was recently named the College Photographer of the Year by the Nebraska News Photographers Association.  Stay tuned for a better introduction in a future blog post.

New website: Still under construction, but check out our new Portrait Website.

New phone number: 402-677-3096 now local to Omaha callers!

New promotion: Just for the folks who are still reading! For the remainder of June, we will be waiving the $100 session fee for our child or baby portrait sessions.  For more information on our pricing, check out http://lanephotographics.com

To all my current wedding clients: Thank you for your patience this past month.  Orders are getting processed a little slower than normal, but with the same utmost care that you should expect from a premium photography company. Thank you for being by our side during these changes! We’re almost all caught up!

Here’s a frame from a rather spectacular engagement session with Angela and Lincoln a little while ago.  Again, we rocked out Zorinsky Lake.  I tend to be a horizontal photographer to a fault, so I always get excited when I make a vertical photo I like this well.

This time it’s for real.  Permanent.  William Lauer, I promise this will be the last time I make you change your phone.

Now I’m  finally a local call to Omaha residents.
