kelly & michael - omaha, ne - 8.14.2010

Kelly & Michael were married in front of Omaha's historic Joslyn Castle.   This wedding was an all-day affair for me & I loved every minute of it!   It started at Sirens salon in the Old Market and then moved to getting ready at the Castle.  While the ladies enjoyed a dixie cup champagne toast, the fellows were playing a few hands of pre-wedding poker!   The joy & excitement of the bride & groom spilled over into the wedding party and guests.  The celebration moved to the Scoular Ballroom after a delightful cocktail hour!  At the reception, the guests were serenaded by Vintage Vocalist, Michael Walker - who was AMAZING!  Please enjoy some images from Kelly & Michael's wedding - if you want view all their images, please go to the ON-LINE WEDDINGS page of this blog & click on their link -
