~S&J~ She said YES! {Nebraska Wedding & Engagement Photography}



When S &J requested a coffee shop for their engagement shoot, I thought, "warm, coffee, warm, YES!" It happens to be where S works and one of the best businesses in Valentine, NE. Speaking of Valentine, what better place to capture love? There are hearts EVERYWHERE in this town, and I "love" it!

 

 

We HAD to get the shots of the hearts on the sidewalks...perfect!

 

 

 

 

Ring shot and date shot on a coffee cup? Yes please!

 

 

This was a sweet request from the bride, adorable.

The counters were a photographer's dream!

 

 

Practicing their dip kiss for the wedding, many giggles were heard.

 

 

 

Who would have thought coffee house light would work so well? ;-)

 

 

It's those natural moments I just love capturing!

 

 

 

Have to show some love to the iron gate!

 

 

 

Thank you Auntie D's for your wonderful hospitality and delicious coffee!!

 

This couple is so cute. I just adored watching them discuss shots and ideas. I am so looking forward to their June wedding!!

Up Before Dawn...{Nebraska Wedding & Engagement Photograper}

Getting up before dawn is not my favorite thing to do, just ask my husband. However, when you want that light you gotta do what you gotta do!

 

S&S wanted that light and came with ideas, which I love! We had to take multiple breaks as it was

-6* windchill~ BRRR. It was totally worth it!

 

 

 

 

So loving!

 

 

Love getting the giggles!

 

 

I don't think they minded the blanket.

 

 

This was all their idea, so cute!

 

 

Would it be complete without the dogs? Let me tell you, I have never seen better behaved dogs before, they were so good.

 

S has a great smile!

 

 

Hunters?! Too good to be true!!

 

 

 I was in no danger, I promise you!

 

 

Ah...that light!

 

They are too cute!

Like I said it was worth the getting up early and braving the elements. Hopefully their June 1 wedding will be much warmer! 

Friday Photo Week 7

As promised this week's photo(s) is from last weekend's Heart City Bull Bash in Valentine, NE

Having never attended a Bull Bash, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised, I must say. It isn't just a day for Ranchers and Cattle men and women. There are many more activities to make it a family event. Scavenger hunt, 4H "Luck of the Draw" (which was a huge hit), and many downtown sales.

Main street was blocked off, and bulls of all types and sizes were lined up. It was quite a sight to see! The day was bitter cold, but the residents of the area still flocked to the streets!

I have written an article for the Plains Edition Fence Post magazine, so please look for it for more details on this wonderful yearly event.

I will be there next year, will  you??
