The most stunning architectural backdrops, beautiful golden-hour lighting, and the sweetest couple. Taking Tyler and Kenzie’s engagement photos in downtown Omaha meant another session filled with a whole lot of love and joy. 

We kicked off the session near Central High School, a spot that perfectly blends classic and modern aesthetics. Downtown Omaha offers SO MUCH range in style from vintage brick roads and historic buildings to elegant art deco doorways and grand limestone staircases. For most of the session we opted for those timeless,  old money vibes, but we also found some modern and art-deco-inspired spots along the way.
