Suzanne & David/An Omaha Wedding/Seattle Photographer
On a lovely fall day in Omaha Nebraska, during an “off” day for the huskers of course, Suzanne and David married. They’ve been dating on and off for the past 10 years I’m told. Why the wait? I don’t know. They seem like a perfect match too me. I’ve known Suzanne for many many years as she is technically my cousin’s sister but not my cousin. But for the record that doesn’t stop me from claiming her. It was the first time I meet David, but he’s so easy to be around I felt like I had known him for years by the time I left.
The wedding it’s self was traditional and too the point. For them it was about their relationship with God and each other. I don’t mean this in a bad way at all. It was so very refreshing to have a couple commit to each other and not to the wedding. They never lost sight of that.
After we left the church and before going to the reception we made a stop at a local park at the perfect time of day. I couldn’t have ask for better light.
The ballroom was glowing with candles and the flowers just popped off the white linens.
Did these guys dance! Man it was fun. I even worked my way onto the dance floor for a couple…..with my camera of course.
I hope to have the honor of photographing their babies in the future….no pressure or anything. (Suzanne your Mom paid me $10 to say that).

How they meet and courted such long distances (Kevin is Irish):
Ok, well that can be a very long story. I will give you the short version! 
We met in Chicago in January 2005, when we both worked for the same Consulting company (Accenture). Accenture hosts worldwide training in Chicago; Kevin came from London, I came from Seattle. We didn’t know each other that well during the training, but we met a mutual group of friends. I planned my first trip to Europe with that group of friends in May of 2005, and Kevin was “hosting” the trip in London and Ireland. I spent 10 days in London and Ireland with this group of friends and Kevin; our first kiss was on Kevin’s Dad’s boat near the Shannon river in Ireland, on May 22nd, 2005. We got married on May 22nd, 2010, exactly five years later. During those five years we mostly dated long-distance. We’d see each other every 3-8 weeks, and we’d take turns travelling to Seattle or London, or meeting somewhere fun like New York or Mallorca. We were lucky to have jobs that supported our travelling. We didn’t talk on the phone more than a few minutes per day, because of the 8 hour time difference, but relied on Instant Messenger and email for most of our communication. I moved to London with my company and lived with Kevin for almost a year. In the end, I knew I needed and wanted to live in Seattle. Kevin proposed in December of 2008, and finally moved to Seattle in 2009.
