Nicole Johnson and her wonderful staff at the Scott Conference Center made sure that everything went perfectly as usual and it really made our job easier!  Here are a few highlights from the day…

(Which made the photos look amazing!)

We timed everything out beautifully and got some really pretty light for portraits after the wedding at Champions Run (which always makes me happy!)

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Elizabeth and Steve GORGEOUS wedding at St. John’s Catholic Church in Creighton University.

I had so much fun with both Elizabeth and Steve, family and friends, I really didn’t want the night to end!  Everyone was awesome to work with on a beautiful day where finally we got a break from the heat this summer. Both Elizabeth and Steve looked amazing and were all smiles all day! (Which made the photos look amazing!)

Take a look at some of the highlights…

Here they are!

A great couple and a fun wedding party!   We got a ton of great shots as well, so here are a few highlights…

Getting ready…

A beautiful Catholic Church.

Here they are!

 

Lots of detail…

 

Here is everyone.

 

 

 

Nice socks!

Congrats again Alison and Andrew!!

Check out the photos with the students.  Like you have  never seen Warren Buffett before.  The Students are from the University of Arizona Business School.  A fun bunch to spend the afternoon with!

 

Check out the Tebow pose!

Danae’s bouquet and boots.

Good timing… We took it at the same time.

The dress and we took a pose like mother’s wedding portrait.  I did this wedding pose all the time when I photographed weddings in the 80′s.  The memories…

Here they are.

A fun shot!

That’s where we are at.

The ceremony

If you were first your table got to be first for dinner.  I got ran over taking this shot.
