Becca + Trenton | North American Martyrs Catholic Wedding | Cornhusker Marriott Reception | Lincoln, NE

May 31, 2019

When I think about Becca and Trenton’s wedding day, a lot of things come to mind. I think about how the weather was perfect; it was warm and sunny, but not terribly hot and humid like it often is once summer hits here in Nebraska (although, I know the groomsmen, bundled up in layers on layers in their tuxedos, would beg to differ). I think about all the family and friends who traveled near and far to witness these two say their vows. I think about all the beautiful details, from the blush bridesmaid dresses, the gorgeous corset back on Becca’s gown, the bright, springy greens and pinks of the floral bouquets, the delicious flavors of cupcakes from cookie dough to lemon to almond, and everything in between. I think about all the laughter and joy that was shared throughout the day. I think about how the diamond in Becca’s ring was Trenton’s Grandmother’s diamond, and how his grandfather passed it on to Trenton, knowing Becca was the one. And mostly, I think about how relaxed and kind everyone was all day.

Becca and Trenton are both so laid back, and Becca has a tendency to be late. To everything. Always. Almost all the time. But this day wasn’t about the timeline; this day was about getting to marry the love of her life, about why they fell in love, and celebrating that with the people they cherish. So even when things were running behind schedule, everyone was relaxed and content. There was one thing she did have to be on time for though, and that was the ceremony. I’m sure you’re all wondering it started on time… The answer is YES! 5:00 on the dot, the music started playing and Becca’s brothers started walking the bride and groom’s parents and grandma down the aisle. The ring bearer even had the cutest sign, letting us all know that we wouldn’t be waiting for the bride, “For once she’s on time!” (cue the giggles)

I love documenting love stories like Becca and Trenton’s, mostly because they’re so authentic. They’re so full of life and laughter and special moments and love. They’re completely comfortable with each other, and over the 5 years they’ve been together, they’ve come to love every version of each other. As Becca’s maid of honor, Ali, put it, “If you can handle and love a drunk Becca, a sweet and peppy Becca, a sad Becca, an excited Becca, a weird Becca, and any other side of Becca, Trenton you are without a doubt, the one. I am so happy you have each other.”

Becca and Trenton, thank you for trusting me to document your love. For asking me to be a part of your day. For welcoming me into your home, and into your world. I am so thankful for you both, and wish you all the joy, laughter, and adventure this life has to offer. Cheers to you, Mr. & Mrs. Royse!

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
