Anniversary Styled Shoot | Part 1 | Lincoln, NE | Stewart Photography

The amount of cake in this post is by far one of the greatest things ever! This post is a bit longer than usual… there is so much on my heart about these women, those who put so much into helping make this shoot a reality, and the deeper meaning of this shoot to me… but I’ll try to keep it brief.

For years I have dreamt of  giving back to those who have trusted me with their wedding day. Thank you’s were always there, but I wanted to do more. The transformation that takes place inside of someone when you go out of your way to make them feel special is one of the most indescribable feelings on Earth. Watching someone have a better day, week, month, or even life because you were in it is the main reason we are here on Earth.

I invited all of my brides from prior years of photography to help celebrate my 5 years of my photography business! Hair, make up, snacks, drinks, and music set the pace for a day of true pampering.

This shoot was an idea that came about in November 2017 and sat in my heart for months. The people who donated their time, energy, and talent to making this shoot possible forever have a special place in my heart. This shoot, this experience would not have been possible without them. I am indebted to them for making such a special experience for these incredible women…
