Nebraska Sandhills Wedding in Alliance
Nebraska Sandhills Wedding at the Brogan Ranch
Shelby + Brady. I don’t think anyone has as big of hearts as you two. During your engagement session, I could tell that you two love hard and true. From the way he looks at you to the way you hold his arm in yours. Your love is a match made in the stars. Thank you for inviting me out to the Sandhills to celebrate with you.
August 1, 2020 share two important things in common for me. Your beautiful wedding day and my birthday! I can honestly say, it was the perfect way to spend my day. Nebraska holds a special place in my heart. The prairie, the Sandhills, cowboy life, and everything that goes along with it. Nebraska weddings are simply untouched in regard to everyone making you feel at home. I felt that while I was there, hard. Everyone made me feel like family and I cannot thank them enough.
Some of my favorite highlights of the day include:
Shelby trusting me to just walk into her home, like we had been friends for years.
The decorations, oh wow. My daughter is convinced that even though we no longer live in Nebraska, she is going to have a cowboy wedding.
The people. I know I already mentioned it but I want to say it again. The NICEST folks you will ever meet.
Sewing Shelby’s dress back together, not only once, but twice. Thanks, mom for those sewing lessons when I was a kid!
The horse-drawn wagon was seriously everything and the Qualms are beautiful people. It was nice to see some of them again!
On the way back from wedding party photos, Shelby and Brady wanted to stop to check the mail. This was hilarious and unexpected. What was also unexpected was the “Antioch Variety Pack” that was in the mailbox too. Blackberry Brandy and Fireball duct tapped together. It doesn’t get more Nebraska than that!
Having the couple take photos in the “stink weeds”. haha. They sure are pretty though with those purple flowers!
All the dancing. Oh, the dancing. The dancing is my favorite part. I missed the country dancing and this wedding had plenty of it.
Most of all, my favorite part of the wedding was seeing the genuine love radiate from Shelby and Brady for their family and friends. It was one hell of a party.
Friends, I invite you to soak up their day by clicking play on the slideshow above. The song made me tear up before I even placed the images with it. Get those tissues handy, you are in for some Western Nebraska love and you don’t want to miss it.
Are you looking for your wedding photographer? Someone you can connect with and document your day the way you always dreamed? I take on only a handful of weddings yearly and I would love to work with you, especially if there are cowboy hats involved. I also would love to work with you if you are planning a private, small wedding, elopement, or something in between. I leave the big fancy church weddings to others though, as it just isn’t my jam.
