Omaha Wedding Photography || The Archers Photography

"I love Chelsea and Jack so much! Hiring them to photograph your wedding will be one of the best decisions you'll make, plain and simple.

Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are also consummate professionals, and they go above and beyond. Chelsea and Jack were on top of everything. And I can't even begin to explain how much we love our engagement and wedding photos!

Chelsea truly has a gift for capturing whatever that feeling between the two of you is that makes your relationship so special to you - be it love, laughter, goofiness, passion, etc... - Chelsea translates that feeling to photographs that you'll cherish for forever.

And Chelsea and Jack both make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and are so kind and personable that you feel like you're hanging out with friends who just so happen to be photographing you. We really did feel like we made a new set of friends when it was all said and done. I just can't say enough good things about them, and I'm so grateful to them for sharing their talents and their friendship with us!"

Our Approach

So many things go into getting “the perfect gallery” and every person has a different definition of what a perfect gallery is. The chasing of the moving target is so exciting to me. It never ceases to amaze me how differently people fill out our questionnaires. You all chose us, but you are all so different, and that is the best thing about this job.

Our approach to photography is extremely intentional. We take so many things about YOU (your personalities, priorities, preferences, insecurities, traditions, etc) and mix them with so many things involving photography (good lighting, unique composition, the appropriate lens, the best settings, flattering angles and positions, etc), and the result is what you see here.

Our style throughout the day swings from very hands on, to extremely hands off. During designated portrait times we’ll be setting you in flattering positions, letting you know where to put your hands, whether your chin needs to come down, or your grip on your bouquet needs to loosen. We’ll be placing your veil just right, and fixing that random hair. But other parts of the day we will be invisible. You’ll forget we’re there as you immerse yourself in the best day of your life, and we’ll capture every moment as it unfolds.

Our Story

It all started with a game of red rover at a middle school retreat we were both serving at. Jack broke through Chelsea's iron grip and that was that. All the middle school girls knew we were meant for each other and here we are (we've even shot some of their weddings now!).

We got married in our church's courtyard. It was a simple wedding, at sunset, in Omaha on June 23. All of our friends and family were there, including all the middle school students who played such a huge role in us meeting. We started doing photography together soon after.

We love the wedding weekend life, and making memories and art (it’s the best job ever). But when you come to our house, you’ll see that we’re about as “Typical Nebraskan Family” as you can get. Life in the woods is charming. It's slower. It’s just the best way to raise our 4 crazy kids, dog, and 12 chickens.

Our lives are far from perfect. Our marriage requires lots of patience and grace, just like any other marriage. And guys. It's worth it. We hope you'll bring us along on your wedding day as you begin your story!

It's never too early or too late to reach out! No matter where you are in the process, we will seamlessly join you and make the experience easier, more fun, and deliver a gallery uniquely tailored to you.

We can't wait to hear from you!
