We had a blast photographing Aimee and Tom’s big day a couple of weeks ago!  The wedding was at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Council Bluffs, IA.  For the reception it took place at The Great Hall in Boystown, Omaha, NE.  I’ve never been there before and it’s a great place.

The day was full of lots of great emotions and moments!  Aimee and Tom  both looked great and all their guests had a wonderful time!  It was a true pleasure covering this wedding!

Here are a few highlights from the day!

I thought this was a neat idea with candles on every table.

Congrats again Aimee and Tom!

Check this out for a different Honeymoon!

A night below the surface of the Indian Ocean would have to rank as the number one night to remember, and the romantic experience comes with a complimentary champagne breakfast the following morning.

I had the chance to photograph Holly and Ty’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. The wedding was at the newly remodeled Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Omaha.  It’s so beautiful and I always enjoy doing weddings there.  The reception was at the German American Society.  Rick Keith of Complete Music did an excellent job making sure that everyone had a great time!!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day…

Sacred Heart and their rings!

Meet the bride and groom!  A really fun couple.

We went to Regency Lake for a few photos between the wedding and reception.

Holly is a little bit of a Iowa Hawkeye fan.  Did you notice her wedding colors?

Thank you so much Holly and Ty!  What a great day for you both…
