Adam and Ashley celebrated their marriage on a beautiful fall day in October in Brainard, Nebraska!  The week prior it rained every day and we were not sure what to expect on Saturday.  To our surprise, it cleared up and we had sunshine all day!  This Nebraska photographer and couple were pretty darn excited about this!  Ashley purchased her beautiful lace wedding dress from David’s Bridal and their bridesmaid dresses were a perfect moss green from Azazie.  The Groomsmen wore purple vests, jeans and cowboy boots.  Ashley and Adam picked out the perfect details down to the sparkle on her shoes!  Take a look 🙂

Ashley and her bridesmaids got ready at Gunsmoke Lodge in Brainard, Nebraska. I loved this cabin and thought it was perfect for her and her girls!  Her sister buttoned up her dress and her mom put on her pearl necklace.  The ceremony was at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church where we witnessed the most perfect moment as Adam saw his beautiful bride for the first time that day, walking down a long isle with her dad.  I have never been to Brainard before, but it sure stole my heart, mostly because of these two!

I did not do Adam and Ashley’s engagement photos, so this was their first time in front of my camera…and they pretty much killed it!  We had the best time, laughing, chatting, dancing and hip bumping in Brainard and Loma!
