James and Audrey were married about a month ago at Dundee Presbyterian Church here in Omaha. Two things stand out in my mind from the day. It was hot, and I literally don’t remember seeing Audrey without a smile on her face. Happy people are easy and fun to photograph, and this wedding had a ton of happy people. Here’s a look at some of my favorites from the day.
Pat & Brenna were married on June 22nd, 2013 in Oconomowoc, WI. Brenna & I are cousins on my Mom’s side. Driving up to Wisconsin and Illinois and hanging out with this part of my extended family is a really prominent part of the memories I have of my childhood and teen summers, so I was really excited and honored when Brenna & Pat asked me to photograph their wedding. Maybe even a little bit nervous too. This was an intense weekend travel and logistics wise (Pat & Brenna were very laid back!). But at the end of it I’ve had the opportunity to directly shape the way this weekend was documented for a group of people I care about. I say this all the time and I always mean it, I really enjoyed being a part of this day.
Last thing before jumping into the pictures. Thanks to my immediate family for the company they provided during the caravan up to Wisconsin, and thank you Lindsay for watching Evan as I worked/had fun. 😛
Photos are roughly as follows: Rehearsal Dinner and dancing at O’Halloran Farm, Wedding at St. Jerome Catholic Church, Portraits at O’Halloran Farm, Reception/Cake/Drinks/Dancing at Oconomowoc Community Center.
On July 24th of 2012 Lindsay and I became parents to Evan Walter Clark. I don’t post much personal stuff in this space but I’m going to indulge myself for Evan’s birthday. After Evan went to sleep tonight I spent the evening combing through my personal lightroom folders. I started out intending to post 1 picture from each month of his life but it turns out I just didn’t have the discipline for it. So here’s 90 images instead.
You won’t find much cohesiveness in presentation or consistency in processing here, just a bunch of snapshots of how I see Evan. Last thing before the pictures, watching Lindsay take care of Evan has been as amazing as watching Evan turn into a toddler. She’s a terrific mother and Evan and I are lucky to have her.
Robert, Jeanette and I had been trying to schedule this engagement session for the last couple months. Every time we set a date something would come up. I think at one point we had snow in May? Saying that now seems bizarre but that’s the type of thing we were running into. We finally met up last weekend to make some pictures and the weather was perfect. Sometimes you think you know what you want and then what you get is so much better!
We started this session in Downtown Omaha and then moved out to the OPPD Arboretum to get some sunset stuff. I’ll be shooting Robert & Jeanette’s wedding in September so more to come of the two of them. For now here’s some of my favorites from the engagement session.
Kent and Jenn were married a month ago out on Jenn’s family farm in Ord, NE. It was a windy day, to put it lightly, but the wedding attendees didn’t seem like the type of group to complain much about the weather. We started the day off by wandering around the farm for some portraits, then held the ceremony outdoors between the Bremer farm house and a historic school house that sits on the property. After the ceremony everyone met at the Valley County Fairgrounds for dinner and a whole lot of dancing.
Congrats again Kent & Jenn and thanks for having me out to photograph your day!
