“Omahaaaaa, somewhere in middle America…” Counting Crows… Anyway, I didn’t really know what to expect out of the sleepy mid-west town but I was pleasantly surprised! Besides great steaks and friendliness, Omaha had a great nightlife in the “Old Town Market” area. Then just across the river is Council Bluffs, Iowa home to several riverboat casinos. My buddy Mac came up from Kansas city on Saturday night to hang out. You might remember his sister’s wedding in Cape Code last summer, he married the couple. We had a great meal at Sullivan’s Steak House, then we hit the Old Market Tavern, and we finally ended up at Harrah’s for some Pow Gai!
I had a blast in Omaha with Nancy and Joe. Shooting their session around Omaha was a real treat. We started out on the farm where Nancy grew-up. Then headed over to Joe’s awesome pad before we slipped back into town to a few sentimental places for the couple. We had lunch and shot at M’s Pub where Nancy and Joe first met, then we walked around the market photographing before finishing our session at their favorite dessert spot “The French Cafe.” I can’t wait for their wedding in April at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The French Cafe was awesome, we had it all to ourselves before they opened for dinner.
