Liz & Pepper

What a beautiful wedding! We were blessed to work with Liz & Pepper on their wedding, helping them plan a huge party for all their guests. I knew it was going to be an amazing night when I asked their first dance song, and they responded with "Stellar" by Incubus.. Ah! Talk about creative! :) Our DJ Kurtis had a lot of fun keeping the tunes flowing while they partied all night long at Wilderness Ridge. A big shout out to Khara at Kabloom Studios for the amazing photos you see below - Thanks again!

First Birthday

What an awesome opportunity this was! Erin from Erin Stoll Photography called me up and asked me to swing by and film her daughter's first birthday photo shoot with a piece of pink cake - how could I say no? I really enjoy working with Erin and Cari whenever I get the chance.. not to mention Livya is absolutely adorable and was one of the most animated one year olds I've ever seen! Her facial expressions make this video fantastic - definitely a MUST watch!! Teaser photos from Erin will be coming soon! :)

YWCA Shakin' Things Up

What a blast! Last Friday, the YWCA sponsored a fundraising event called Shakin' Things Up held at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. What a fun event! Five different bars participated in a martini contest, competing against each other. Each attendee gets one martini from each bar and then casts a vote at the end of the night for their favorite. This was the third annual YWCA Martini Event and was the most successful yet! Over 250 people went through the doors - almost 150 more than the previous year! We donated our music services to the event, and our DJ Kurtis was there playing some rocking music and keeping the party going. Special thanks to the bars that participated: Zens, Starlite, Docs, venue, and red9 - also, special thanks to Toberlin Photography for the use of these images below! We always love working with him and were excited to hear he was donating his services as well!

Jarod & Lindsey

It was SUCH a blast filming Jarod and Lindsey’s wedding, we couldn’t wait to share their fabulous day! We got to spend some time with Lindsey while we captured every detail of her getting ready. She was an absolutely stunning bride! They shared their vows at Saint Mark’s United Methodist Church and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Since Jarod is a big hunter, Lindsey surprised him with duck calls as they exited the church as Mr. and Mrs. After a stop at Grata, the bride and groom danced the night away at the Lincoln Station in the Haymarket. Congrats, Jarod and Lindsey on a beautiful marriage! It was a pleasure being apart of your special day!

Dan & Lisa - Monterey, CA

Oh my gosh.. what an amazing couple days this was! We were so blessed to have the opportunity to work with Dan & Lisa for their California wedding and also the talented Matt Elwood from Elwood Photography! We hit the airport and traveled to Monterey, CA over the weekend of January 30, 2010 to help capture all the memories of Dan & Lisa's special day. The wedding was at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which was a little inland from the beach. The weather was perfectly gorgeous and the wedding went (almost:) without a hitch! Post wedding, we traveled to Lover's Point and took many photos on the cliff, rocks, and beach. The footage is stunning and I know Matt's photos are as well - be on the lookout for a few teasers of those! A big THANK YOU to Dan, Lisa, and both their families for being so welcoming and treating us like family - It was an amazing experience! The video highlight below is a bit longer than usual, since we will be showing it at their Lincoln reception. Enjoy! :)

Proposal Video

Tis the season for engagements! I'm always so excited for this time of year when so many men pop the question to so many women. How creative was your proposal? Did you put a ton of effort in to make it super special? What better way to show her you care than to hire professional photographers and videographers to capture your proposal to show family and friends! This hot new trend is beginnging to catch on in the midwest and word is spreading like fire. After viewing these highlights the groom said..

"Biggest sissy of the year goes to me because I can't watch this video without tearing up every single time. I love you Corey! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO CALI AND SARAH FOR HELPING WITH AND SETTING UP THIS SPECIAL DAY. ONE WORD - PRICELESS!"

Mike & Karen, 1.2.10

What a wedding! These two are so in love, they couldn't keep their hands off each other! We were blessed to be part of their special day and were very excited to work with Matt from Elwood Photography again. Mike and Karen first saw each other at the Captial building downtown.. she was stunning! I met up with them a little later at the Berean Church here in Lincoln and our footage at the church rocked. Next we followed them to the Falls reception hall (which was our first time filming there) to a unique reception with cheesecake instead of wedding cake (yum!). Check out their highlights below.. these two truly are meant for each other! Congratulations Mike and Karen, thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

Josh & Stephanie

What a rockin' Nea Years Eve! We were blessed to spend it with Stephanie and Josh in the small towns of Hebron and Deshler, NE. I got there a little early in hopes to get some great shots of the couple in the snow, and as always the fabulous Matt Elwood was two steps ahead, already in the car headed out to shoot! I included one his photos below too, from the road in the snow :) The ceremony was beautiful (her small veil covering her face was to die for!) and then they made an exciting exit outside the church to fireworks! The wedding party held sparklers while huge fireworks exploded in the background - it was amazing! We moved on to Deshler and one of our DJs had the reception hall rockin' all night, complete with the New Years countdown at midnight! Check out the wedding highlights below, along with Matt's photo! :)

Mark & Sara

My first wedding after a snowfall this year! I love winter weddings.. they are few and far between and each one is so unique! I met Sara a year and a half ago as bridesmaids in my cousin's wedding and we've stayed in touch ever since. As soon as her and Mark got engaged, she called right away to check availability.. after moving some things around and trying differnet options, we were finally able to make the same date work. I was SO excited to work with her and couldn't wait to spend the day with them. They were married in McCook, NE with a reception following at the Community Building. It was our first trip to McCook and the drive was worth it - the day was just as beautiful as I could have imagined! We enjoyed working with Adam Powers from apimages and are excited to see his photos. Check out Mark and Sara's highlights below!
