Leah & Simeon

Hottest new wedding colors? Orange and Blue of course! And our photographer friend Leah Lund ROCKED them at her wedding on October 3 and were there to catch every moment! She was blessed with a beautiful day as she tied the knot after seven years together with her boyfriend Simeon.. what a magical day! They threw a huge party at the Grand Manse in the Jasmine Room that was gorgeously decorated by my friend (and the uber-talented) Stacy with Petal Creations. You can see some of her gorgeous images from her photographer friend becker on his blog and read about her point of view on Leah's blog. It was a fabulous day and we know she enjoyed every moment of it!

Chris & Tara

What a blast these two were! Chris and Tara are big Husker fans.. and instead of getting married on a Game Day, they chose a gorgeous Friday in mid September and couldn't have gotten more perfect weather. Huskers were woven in throughout their day.. Tara had fun red heels on under her dress and Chris and his groomsmen wore Husker plaid socks under their tuxes.. how cute! They were married at First Plymouth church with their reception following at Nebraska Champions Club next to the stadium. We loved working with Khara from Kabloom Studios - her work was amazing, from our trek around downtown to photos at the stadium. Their highlights are below.. enjoy!

Beth & Michael

I adored these two! They were married in Omaha on what turned out to be one of the nicest days weather-wise we've had all year.. how lucky! It was our first time working with Douglas Gunder photography and we can't wait to see how his photos turned out. Thank you Beth & Michael for allowing us to capture your wedding day.. we definitely had a blast! :)

Vernon & Sally

What a wedding day this was! We had an absolute blast with Sally & Vernon, plus many of our favorite vendors! They had a very unique and fun ceremony, with Vernon's brother performing a rap in the middle and the flower girls racing down the aisle. We took a limo to Wilderness Ridge fountains for photos, then into the lodge for a reception. Sally's son called from overseas in the middle of dinner with a toast we played over the speakers.. you could feel the emotion in the room! Her wedding coordinator, Sara Brown with Bella Signature Events kept the day on track and solving any problems that arose. Her photographer, Jamy Sullivan captured it all on film. The night had a few small set backs, but we made it through okay and what a party it was! Below is their choreographed first dance.. soon to be accompanied by their wedding day highlights. Enjoy!

Jim & Julie

Congratulations Jim and Julie! They were married last weekend at a beautiful church in Cortland, which was our first time filming out there. They were blessed with a beautiful day and a perfect ceremony.. the bridesmaids and Julie all wore red heels with their dresses and the entire wedding party had similiar sunglass to wear.. how fun! Their limo stopped at Grata for a few drinks before the reception at the Cornhusker in Downtown Lincoln. We got the chance to work with a lot of great vendors, including Patrick from the Cornhusker, Ginger from Atlantis Salon & Spa, Stacy with Petal Creations and Frank with Ekeler Photography. This was our first time working together with Frank and we were very excited about it - he did a fantastic job and we can't wait to see some images! Their highlights are below.. check them out!

Elwood Photography

As a professional in this wedding industry, I get the opportunity to work with many different vendors at each wedding and it's always a breath of fresh air to find one who is outstanding at their job. We've gotten the chance to work with Matt Elwood from Elwood Photography at many weddings this past summer and it's been a blast every time. He is an absolutely fabulous photographer to work with - his work is stunning and he's so much fun to be around! We've partnered with him to offer a 10% discount off BOTH your photography package AND your DJ or Video when you book with both of us for your wedding.. that's how much we love working together! I'm posting some of his images below.. check them out!

Wedding Music Mistakes!

You've never planned a wedding reception before.. we get it! That's why we are here - to help make sure your night flows smoothly and everything goes as planned. As tempting as it may be to try and save money by providing the music/entertainment yourself, a DJ/MC/or Band can be very helpful in coordinating the night and keeping the dance floor full. Couples make three major mistakes when planning their reception entertainment and we stumbled across an article that is full of great information on how to avoid it - to help keep your wedding planning stress free, of course :)

Chris & Jen (x2!)

This couple was awesome! I had a blast hanging out with them all day. We started at Northwest Hills United Church of Christ in Omaha for their ceremony, which was beautiful. They had a fun church exit in bubbles and boarded a truck-limo from Extreme Racing Limousines - how cute! We stopped at Upstream along the way for some down time (and to prove that Honey Raspberry beer really is the best on earth - thanks Jen!) before continuing on to the Scottish Rite Temple for her reception. It was my first time in that venue and I fell in love! The main ballroom was the perfect size, with adjoining rooms for the buffet and the bar to work perfectly. We stayed through their wedding party dance (which was choreographed to ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man") and had a blast the entire time. Our DJ kept the dance floor packed, making sure everyone had fun. Thanks again for letting us spend the day with you! Their highlights are below.. check them out!

Mat & Christy, 8.8.09

One word: Wow! Megan and I were truly amazed by these two.. we had the opportunity to put together a Love Story video for them before the wedding, detailing how they met, the proposal, and what they are most looking forward to on their wedding day. After being together for 7 years, these two are the definition of true love and we were blessed to spend the day with them! They were married in Lincoln with a reception following at Hillcrest Country Club, which was absolutely stunning. They carried the sunflower theme throughout, on their programs, in her bouquets, and with cookies at every seat. We got to work with Jamy Sullivan Photography and her ideas for photos were gorgeous - we were up in the balcony at sunset - I can't wait to see her images! The highlights are below - Enjoy!! :)
