Betsy and Keith had a beautiful rainy wedding day in Grand Island, NE.  The day started off with the sun shining, lots of smiles and giggles.  Betsy chose a modern Airbnb to get ready in with her girls and her family.  We even got some beautiful portraits of her with all of her nieces and  nephews, all of which were flower girls and ring bearers.  She wrote in an email, It could end up being a disaster, but hopefully a cute disaster to have this many kids in our wedding.  I am happy to say it was not a disaster, not even close. It was the cutest thing that I have ever seen and all of the kids were rockstars!  Scroll below to see!

Betsy and Keith had their first look at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Grand Island.  It was a perfect location and Keith looked so handsome in his Navy blue tux and striped red and blue tie.  The girls had on stunning red dresses and their bouquets that Hyvee had made were perfect Fall bouquets.  I just love all of the colors from this day!

Drive away car at wedding

Betsy and Keith drove away in the best getaway car I have seen this year!  Sealed with a kiss they speed away!  We all met up in downtown Grand Island on this rainy wedding day, or I should say I did get a few photos of the beautiful bride and groom before it started to downpour!  These guys were such troopers.  We found the perfect location that was covered for the bridal party and even Betsy and Keith ventured out into the rain with an umbrella.  I have to say, those photos are some of my favorites!

Betsy and Keith shared their wedding day bliss at the Balz Banquet Hall in Grand Island with their friends and family.  They cut the cake, shared their first dance and partied the rest of the evening.  I must say that their cupcakes were the best I have had all year long!  Kellie was such a huge help as my second shooter and we had the best time capturing so many special moments for Betsy and Keith.  Thank you for sharing your special day with us!  Cheers to many more years to the both of you!!
