What a wedding day it was yesterday at Country Pines in Lincoln, Nebraska!
We had overcast skies as a beautiful backdrop, the sun peaking through randomly, for Kidra & Dan's wedding ceremony & reception.
They held their first look out in the vineyard, where she snuck up behind him, stealing a hug before she let him turn around to see her for the first time! I absolutely enjoy first looks! It's a great, intimate moment for the couple to see each other with no one else around.

Another benefit to having a first look is being able to have your formal photos taken before your ceremony. This allows more time to relax in between your ceremony & reception, as well as letting you two hang out before you walk down the aisle to say your vows.
After their "I do's" they enjoyed their cocktail hour mingling with guest before I stole them away for some couple's portraits. As a newly married husband & wife, we wanted to document the two of them loving on each other, their laughter and catching that blissful glow. Look at Kidra's smile, doesn't it say it all?!
These two were a blast to be around, having the opportunity to document their day. The people were fun, the food was great (Country Pines always has great food!) and the reception was rocking. Elliot with Complete Weddings & Events - Lincoln-Norfolk did a great job keeping the dance floor filled!
