Kids at Weddings

Keeping your kids entertained at weddings... 

Advice from Omaha wedding photographers (and moms) .

Last weekend we photographed an amazing brunch wedding in Omaha!  While mostly unique, this wedding was a fairly traditional ritual union, dawned with a ring bear and two flower girls. These kiddos were SO well behaved, polite, and adorable to boot. What we LOVED is when they showed up to the brunch reception with Kodak disposable cameras! Just the three of them...little, mighty, and ready to snag some shots.  It was so fun watching them and it kept them busy and engaged in a great way with the rest of the guests. They felt creative and important when the "elders" asked them to take a picture. It was fantastic.  We'd sure love to see their perspective, because it was adorable from ours, without a doubt.

 

Do you want to keep your "little" attendants occupied with fun at your reception? Give them a couple disposables and send them on a photo hunt! Have them find things like: a man with a mustache, a woman in a blue dress, a kid who's eaten their whole plate of food, grandma on the dance floor...keep them busy and having a good time!

Meet Janine! To say she is excited for Wedding Season 2016 is an understatement.

Her shameless pre-wedding car ride "warm up jam" this year is My House by Flo Rida. Her goal this year is to win the "national championships" of wedding photography. We treat every wedding like a national championship, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Her shameless pre-wedding car ride "warm up jam" is The Sound by The 1975.  Her goal this season is to also win the "national championship" of weddings with Janine and kick ass in every way possible. And perfect her dance moves.

New Years Engagements

Happy Holidays from both of us here at JM Studios!  We LOVE this time of year not only because of the sugar cookies, mystery Midwestern blizzards, and lofty New Years Resolutions...but because LOVE IS IN THE AIR!  Love birds are getting engaged left and right, and we love it!  Simply put, we want to photograph your wedding.  We might not have "accurate" advice on what Pantone color pallet you need for 2016...and we might not worry about what VSCO film filter is popular right now...but we can tell you with absolute certainty, that fantastic wedding photos come from people, in love, having a good time.  And that's what we want to do.  To have a good time...and watch you have a good time, while capturing you in the moment.

So whaddaya say?  Let's do this.  Let us show you how we love to spend our weekends!

Amy and Ray's Lucky Bucket Wedding

Omaha Wedding Photographers

Ray and Amy have been dear friends of mine for years.  They are such a fun and unique couple and it was only natural that they would plan a day that was fitting just for them.

I originally met Ray and Amy while Ray and I were both working for a beer distributor in the area.  We became fast and close friends.  Fast forward several years and different jobs later, Ray and Amy were finally getting married!  Ray still works in the beer industry and Amy is a graphic designer.  Their personalities completely shone through in their celebration!  Amy was a TROOPER on her wedding day as she completely CRUSHED the bones in her foot a few weeks prior at her bachelorette party.  Not many people could rock a cane and crutches on their wedding day, but Amy did.

I met Ray and his groomsmen early in the morning at All In the Cut Barber Shop as they got fresh fades for the day, while Amy and her bridesmaids got ready at the Embassy Suites LaVista.  It was so fun getting ready with these guys and their friends.  They are hilarious to be around, had great gifts to pass around, and kept sticker mustaches around just incase they needed to wear them.

Their Ford Birth Site wedding ceremony in Omaha and it was absolutely gorgeous.  Their closest friends and family joined them at their beautiful outdoor ceremony that was officiated by one Ray's oldest friends from North Platte, NE.  It was funny, heartwarming, and perfectly personal to them.

Once their ceremony was over, they loaded up a party bus and headed to a local favorite of theirs, Barrett's Barleycorn, and had a few cocktails before they headed over to their wedding reception.

They chose the most PERFECT venue for their Omaha wedding reception.  The Lucky Bucket Brewing Company warehouse and sampling room was awesome, unique, and perfectly fitting for them.  Their tables were decorated with custom beer growlers, hops, bottle tops, and unique flower arrangements by Loess Hills Floral.  It was so unique and cute!  They were taken over by a dancing flash mob and danced the night away to the best 90's hip hop ever.  It was the perfect day planned just for them and it was so fun to be their Omaha wedding photographer!
