Two weeks ago we were hired for a photo shoot by the University of Nebraska at Kearney for a professor who was soon to be named "Top US Professor of the Year" by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Rick Miller was one of only four in the nation to be given this title for the 2009 year. This is the first time a professor in Nebraska has received this honor.

Erin and I had been looking forward to Tamara and Jared's wedding since our first meeting and even more so since their engagement session a little while ago. You may remember their engagement session from the off-roading shots we took with the Mule along the Missouri River. Needless to say we had just as much fun at their wedding and probably more so since their families and friends were there to liven things up even more! Their wedding and reception were held at Champions Run and although it snowed almost four inches the night before everyone was in a joyful mood and ready to celebrate with Tamara and Jared.

Tamara and Jared rented this fun photo booth for their guests at the wedding reception. Of course, they had to first show them how it's done :)

We have known Martha and Randy for a couple years now and were excited when they asked us to photograph their wedding. In meetings leading up to the wedding they were trying to decide what they were going to take from the cerimony to the reception. In the end they decided on an old 50's Mercury that Randy had pretty much restored from scratch. The vehicle was amazing but not as amazing as Martha, Randy, their families and wedding party. We had a great time and wanted to share some photos from the day.

It's rare we are able to photograph a wedding in our home city; Chris and Lesley's was the first of only two this year. It may seem out of place because not long ago we were photographing their engagement session in Kentucky at the Maker's Mark distillery. Chris and Lesley do live in Kentucky, but their families are from Nebraska. They chose to use their engagement session as a way to share glimpses from their current surroundings and lifestyle, while choosing a wedding location that would bring them "home" to friends and family.

They had a beautiful wedding and Lesley was stunning bride.
