Gene Leahy Mall | Omaha Nebraska | Andrea and Trent | Rock The Dress

Some call it a Trash the Dress we prefer the term Rock the Dress because most of the time your not destroying the dress or getting it any dirtier than it did on the wedding day. When we do a destination wedding something we like to work into the weekend is a Rock the Dress the day after the wedding. Most of the time we prescout amazing locations, the Bride has the opportunity to put her dress back on for one more day and the groom might wear his wedding day formals or dress a little more comfortably and we head out for some truly incredible portraits.

Andrea and Trent destinationed to Nebraska for a beautiful barn wedding and the next day we hit up Gene Leahy Mall in downtown Omaha for some fun portraits. Dont’ let the name deceive you it’s, a lovely little stream way surrounded by trees and banks of grass.

La Jolla Shores Engagement | Evan & Megan | San Diego Wedding Photography

Evan and Megan are on a roll planning their wedding.

Location picked out – CHECK

Plane Tickets booked – CHECK

Engagement Shoot done – CHECK

Save the Dates – (Megan is on it!)

These two love birds are scooting off to Playa Del Carmen in October for a super romantic wedding on the beach surrounded by crystal blue waters. We just love the idea of destination weddings with close friends and family along for a week of travel, play and fun!

To kick of their october beach wedding they made the 6 hour drive from Arizona out to San Diego for some La Jolla style engagement photos. The winter weather was brisk but the tide was way out at the shores giving us the run of the beach, and the opportunity for some beautiful silhouettes. We had a little extra time with these two and hit up one of our favorite little groves of eucalyptus trees for some cute photos.

Evan and Megan we had so much fun with you both! Thanks for coming to our neck of the woods for an incredible shoot.

La Jolla beach weather can be finicky sometimes, but Evan and Megan lucked out with a rather beautiful sunset. The beach also favored us with the gift of a heart shaped sea shell that Megan’s ring fit perfectly inside of making for one of our favorite photographs.

Funny Christmas Cards for 2012 by Brett and Liz

So here they are! Our 2012 christmas cards. Many of you were wondering what we were going to do this year and how we were going to top last year’s epic 80’s christmas cards. Now there weren’t any sparkly purple pants involved in this year’s cards but we think they turned out pretty fun. Only some of the photos made it onto the Holiday cards but there were so many ridiculous shots that we just had to share more.

So what your going to see next was not one of our brightest ideas ever. But every now and again Brett has to mix his love for rigging cameras to motorized vehicles and stick it in the category of “worst idea ever”. Theses didn’t make the official Christmas card cut but they sure were a riot to shoot. Enjoy!

First off our scooters are not meant for two people.

Secondly the rigging arm, camera, Q-flash and battery pack hanging off the right side made keeping the scooter upright an impressive challenge.

and Thirdly I’m a terrible passenger.
