O'Tillie Dinner - The Portico

Well, it’s been two years since our good friends at O’Tillie dinner hosted their last dinner, but this last Sunday they started them back up was the absolute perfect way to start them up again! Everything about the night was perfect. I’ve been to almost every dinner now and the food on this night might have been the best one ever! I loved the conversations and seeing old friends as well! Make sure you check one out someday soon, they’re the best!

Cassie, Jared and Baby Uecker

I love getting the honor to photograph milestones in people’s lives, especially really good friends! The Ueckers and I drove out to the rolling hills in Iowa to take some maternity photos in such a beautiful area with some amazing light from the man upstairs. I really love how these photos turned out and I can’t wait to meet the little guy here in a couple more months! Lastly, Amanda did such a wonderful job on this makeup as well! Enjoy!

O'Tillie Backyard Dinner

I love my family. I love hanging out with them, playing with each of their kids, watching them grow as parents, in their careers, staying updated on their lives and staying close with one another. We get together at my parents house in Lincoln just about every Sunday afternoon to eat lunch and enjoy each other’s company, for the most part ;) So when my wife, Amanda, had the idea to have a dinner with family and friends in their backyard, it was very fitting for us! Our good friends at O’Tillie Pork and Pantry have small dinners that they host about every other month and the focus of them is to gather and enjoy other people’s company around the dinner table, so it was perfect to have them put on a dinner for all 19 of us! We loved every minute of it, even when it rained towards the end, hence the Handmaid’s Tale look haha! We look forward to many more special times together! Enjoy!

Heather + Collin

If you know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE gloomy/moody days. They are so calming and relaxing. I love sitting inside on gloomy days and drinking a hot cup of coffee and listening to music. This whole wedding day was just that and it was perfect! The vibe of this video is slow, melodic and peaceful. This couldn’t have happened to a better couple who just embraced the whole experience too! Heather and Collin were such fun people to work with! Check it out and enjoy!
