This post is icing on the cake. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at the Cornerstone Mansion in Omaha. Before the event, I toured the facility and Julie, the owner (lovely by the way), took time to teach me about the historical background surrounding this facility. I just soaked up the grand beauty of the house, to include a fantastic staircase, amazing woodwork throughout, a most beautiful piano that used to reside in Carnegie Hall, and over course, the history lesson regarding Offutt and his family who were the original owners of the home. Today, it has been transformed into a bed and breakfast, social gathering spot, and home to many weddings.
After my tour, more fun began! Julie (also the name of the bride) and Steve were preparing to be united as one. The event was planned to feel intimate and substantial. While taking pictures, I really enjoyed being caught up in the moment as I watched the lovely ceremony unfold. Pastor Steve (yes, it was a day of Julie's and Steve's! :)) provided a fantastic message that made the room pause and reflect on this new union and their future together. It was beautiful as the bride and groom embraced each other in front of the grand fireplace with their closest family and friends support. This day was heartfelt, true, and wonderful. I am always grateful to meet new people and especially thankful to be part of milestones surrounding their lives. Thank you Steve and Julie for your graciousness! May you both have a lifetime of happiness and blessings. Happy Easter and I hope you enjoy your revisiting your moments!!

P.S. As I photographed details, I felt like a kid in a candy shop! This mansion had 3 floors and I was allowed free reign to capture creativity!! So fun!!
Great job Jodi! It looks like this wedding was a wonderful event and you captured it gracefully. Keep up the good work!
