Matt & Ellen | Lincoln Nebraska Wedding

January 10, 2017

Sometimes dear friends from high school find the loves of their lives, get married, and you get to be there to witness it…this was one of those times. People always ask if I like shooting the wedding of friends or family, and the answer is always yes! One of the reasons I love being a wedding photographer is because I get to be with my clients more than anyone else that day, and I have the honor of doing everything in my power to make sure that their day is amazing!  I was so honored to be able to photograph Matt & Ellen’s wedding, not to mention it was a fun reunion for me.  These two are seriously so adorable, and I know this is just the beginning of their life-long love affair.

Matt & Ellen’s wedding took place in Lincoln Nebraska, where the two of them are from.  After a relaxing morning at the salon with her ladies, they headed off to the church to finish getting ready.  They chose the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s campus as a beautiful location to have a first look, check out their wedding bands for the first time, and then take a few minutes to just hang out together.  Shortly after that they were joined by their wedding party to snap a few photos, including one of the most entertaining photos I might have ever taken.  Then we headed back to the church to get them hitched!  After a very emotional ceremony, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house, it was time to party.  These love birds met at a local bar in Lincoln called Duffy’s, so while the guests were making their way to Chey Hay for the reception, the bridal party had an obligatory drink to celebrate their union.  The reception was full of amazing food, lots of laughter, and even some fro-yo!  Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite images of the day!

 

 

Congratulations you two, I wish you the best in your new life in Colorado!!
