Nina + Tyler • Czechland Lake Wedding • Prague, Nebraska

outdoor summer lake wedding nebraska countryside june

June 2, 2018

There’s something to be said for simplicity, especially when it comes to one of the most important and most special days of your life: your wedding day! When it’s all said and done, your love is what it’s all about. It’s why you planned this celebration in the first place! For Nina and Tyler, this couldn’t be more true.

Nina and Tyler planned a small lakeside ceremony at Czechland Lake State Recreation Area near Prague, Nebraska. Despite the wind, it was so peaceful. They nestled into the shade of a tree, surrounded by family and friends as they said their vows. It was secluded, it was quiet, it was all about their love for each other. All about becoming one and starting their lives together as a family. 

The details that these tow did include were inspired by their love for Lord of the Rings. From her necklace and his boutonniere pin, to their engraved rings, the decorations, and the snacks at the reception, every detail was subtle and and beautiful. 

Nina and Tyler, thank you for asking me to capture your beautiful love for one another. You are both so kind and so sincere. Your little one is so blessed to have you as a mommy and daddy. Wishing you all the happiness and joy that this life has to offer.

 

Much Love,

Gabby

Myke + Jen • Roca Berry Farm Wedding at Creekside Event Barn • Roca, NE

Spring Wedding Creekside Event Barn outside Lincoln, NE

Friday, April 20, 2018

Standing under the words Mr. & Mrs. Marks at the back of the barn, all eyes on him, Myke began to speak. His words were simple, but they were sincere. “Family. This is my family,” he said proudly, admiring his brand new, beautiful bride and their perfect little boy with all his curly hair. This is my family,” he repeated passionately, nothing but pure joy in his voice. Holding up his left hand for everyone to admire his glistening ring, he said it again. “This is my Family, and I am so happy I get to celebrate my family with all of you.”

Jen looked down at their son, kissed him on the head and looked up at her prince charming, the man she now gets to call her husband. She gazed at him with nothing but love in her eyes and kissed him sweetly. Nothing could top celebrating their perfect little family and the love that created it.

This moment in Myke and Jen’s wedding reception was so perfect because it’s been the center of every conversation and every interaction I’ve had with them since we met last summer. The very first thing Myke told me was how excited he was to celebrate his family, how he couldn’t wait to wear his ring so he could look at it during the day and be reminded of how lucky he is to have Jen and Hayden as his family.

Their wedding day was a perfect reflection of their love. Although a little windy, the day was absolutely beautiful. The outdoor ceremony at Roca Berry Farm was decorated with gorgeous white and blush flowers with beautiful greenery accents. The aisle was lined with mason jars and baby’s breath. Family and friends from near and far filled the wooden benches, as the two can be one.

Jen and Myke, thank you for letting me into your world, for asking me to capture your love and your family, for allowing me to be a part of something So. Dang. Special. The gentleness and sincerity and passion and pure love you have for each other and for your family is inspiring. Cheers to you and your perfect little family!

Much Love,

Gabby

Kyle + Andrea - Talon Room • Lincoln, Nebraska

November 18, 2018

She stood across from the love of her life, her greatest adventure, her future husband. She was steady, confident, and so full of joy. Her bridesmaids looked on from the left, the groomsmen from the right, and all of their family and friends who they cherish so deeply, watched from their beautifully decorated seats. String lights hung from the ceiling, and deep burgundy roses and dreamy greenery covered the tables. Andrea looked tenderly into his eyes, and she began to softly speak.

“Kyle, my boy. The first time I saw you, I told you that you ‘looked familiar,’ but I now know that what I was seeing was my future.” She spoke of his ability to bring out the best in her and how he’s given her the best years of her life. She made promises of a lifetime of laughter, love, and respect.

Then it was Kyle’s turn to share his vows. He took the microphone, looked at his beautiful bride, and let the familiar words flow from his mouth. “Andrea, who knew that a girl messaging me the words 'you look familiar' nearly three years ago would completely change my life.” He spoke of her unwavering support, and her ability to make sure he knows he is loved, fully and unconditionally, with nothing but a look from her mesmerizing eyes. He made promises of a lifetime working together as individuals, partners, and equals, a lifetime of love and respect.

The words they shared were simple, honest, and deeply heartfelt. A perfect reflection of their love for each other.

Getting to celebrate their love with their friends and family was the perfect way to kick off their new adventure. It was such a beautiful day. Andrea and Kyle both spent the morning getting ready with their wedding party at the Embassy. They saw each other for the first time on the skywalk. Kyle waited nervously as Andrea backed up slowly until they were back to back. They exchanged letters and read them while holding back tears. After taking a moment, they turned around. Pure joy. Pure love. The way they went into the day is the way they ended it. Filled with love, joy, and respect. It was one heck of a party.

Kyle and Andrea, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to witness and capture your love. Getting to know you over the past year has been such a joy. The respect, kindness, and pure bliss that your relationship emits is absolutely inspiring. I wish you nothing but the best on this grand adventure called marriage!

Much Love
