Today started at 9 a.m. as Jeff and Tyffany arrived at Beauty First Salon to begin Jennifer's coverage of her wedding day. Jennifer, two of her bridesmaids, and Jennifer's mom enjoyed laughing and discussing the characters of the TV shows, "Lost" and "Grey's Anatomy". Everyone at the salon with Jennifer knew both season finallies, but Jennifer. She had been so wrapped up with wedding planning she missed the last episodes. It was a running joke all day about how we would go to say how it ended and then remember "oh, okay we won't spoil it for you!" The beauticians finished just under an hour with hair. With plenty of time to spare before having to arrive at the hotel to get ready the ladies ran and purchased some champagne for the toast that would occur later during the reception.

After meeting back up with the wedding party at the Best Western to do make-up and finish getting ready Jennifer was more than ready to see her groom, Jeremiah. The ceremony location at the Best Western Hotel was nicely decorated with navy roses on an arch and highlights of navy and white ribbons on the chairs. The wedding party consisted of their three friends on each side. Jennifer's "maid-of-honor", Kurt, was a good sport and held a bouquet of flowers during most of the formal wedding pictures. After the ceremony Jennifer and Jeremiah were greeted by their guests as they formed an aisle blowing bubbles as they were welcomed into the reception. Jennifer and Jeremiah started the night off with their first dance, "Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. This was followed by the cake cutting. Guests had several different choices to choose from for desert. Not only did they have their white wedding cake they had cheesecake, double chocolate, red velvet, and two different cobblers. Jennifer and Jeremiah enjoyed visiting with friends and dancing the night away.

You guys were awesome and we hope you get to have a chance to watch the season finale of "Lost". We actually downloaded it and are watching it again as we are typing this. "You know the ending was incredible how......." Keep in touch!

May 19th Jeff and Tyffany had an early start at the salon, Perfect Touch, with Jennifer and now husband, Jeff. Jeff's hair didn't take long as the stylist did a quick wash and mousse to his hair (glue as Jennifer called it). Jeff, his dad and some of his groomsmen were also able to take a quick walk through at the car show that was displayed out front of the salon. This was one of the ending events that wrapped up on the last day of the Riverfest here in Wichita, KS.

Jennifer did research for her and the bridesmaids hair to have more of a 40's style instead of the norm with curls on top and all up. The stylists were able to pull it off with all 4 bridesmaids. After hair and make up was done the ladies headed over to the McConnell Air Force Base to get ready and have a trolley take them over to the ceremony held at the Chapel on base. As part of the ceremony Jeff smashed a cup for good luck. The smashing of the cup symbolized a temperate reminder that life carries change. As the guests shouted "Mazal Tov" it was to scare away any misfortune so that the couple may leave the ceremony free from fears.

After Jennifer and Jeff greeted all the guests as they exited the sanctuary we all hopped on the trolley to go around and grab some pics outside. One of these shots included the wedding party on an iron bridge. Then we took them to a near by playground for them to climb on equipment and bring a kid out in each and every one. After playing we needed to head on to the party that was held at the Dole Center. Jennifer and Jeff were able to relax and have fun with friends and family that had traveled all over the country to celebrate the love that Jennifer and Jeff share for one another.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your special day.

We had another beautiful day for Adam & Erin's big wedding at St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton Catholic Church. Netanya joined Brett & Cheryl for the ceremony which was celebrated with both of their large extended families.

The girls started the day by getting their hair done at Charisma hair salon. Erin and her six bridesmaids finished getting ready at the church. The bride's room was full of excitement as Erin's friends, cousins and soon-to-be sister-in-laws all crowded in front of the mirrors, while Erin's Mom steamed her dress.

The bridesmaids wore stunning dark navy strapless gowns with pale pink sashes that Erin found on-line. Erin's gown was simply elegant with buttons and rhinestones trailing down the entire back of the gown. They carried fragrant pink hydrangea and rose bouquets created by the Flower Factory. Erin wore an elegant diamond necklace loaned to her by Adam's Mom and her Grandmother's diamond studded earrings. Her Grandma was so excited to see Erin wearing her earrings.

The wedding mass was celebrated by Fr. Charles Pardee from Mizzou, where the couple was involved in the Newman center and attended college and Erin's childhood Priest Fr. James Billinger. The ceremony was followed by a gathering at Erin's parents' home until the dinner and reception at Eberly Farm.

Adam, Erin and the entire wedding party rode a trolley to the reception where the couple had decorated the tables with baskets of wine, personalized cork screws, grapes and flowers. Each place setting had a personalized box with a Cero's chocolate truffle. After the filet mignon / grilled chicken dinner, the guests were treated to a dessert bar that included Erin's favorite mouse shaped confections.

After the heartfelt toasts, Adam thanked their family and friends for all their help in making their day "more than they could ever hope for." The couple proceeded with the dance, bouquet and garter toss. Then, went outside to get some great sunset shots.

Adam & Erin, It was an honor for us to be part or your wedding day and witness the love you have for each other, God, family & friends.
God bless,
Brett, Cheryl & Netanya

Today started as Tyffany and Netanya arrived at Westlink Christian Church to cover bridal prep and details. Ashley arrived at the church with her mom and bridesmaids as they got their hair done by Mindy who is a beautician at Personal Touch in Valley Center. The ladies all mingled and had a good time as Sandi, Ashley's mom, helped the bridesmaids get their toes painted. Ashley's big decision of the day was deciding which four pair of earrings to wear. Her final choice turned out to be striking, classy and perfect in every way! They were long dangling sparkly earrings that went well with her beautiful, stunning, fitted strapless wedding gown with an elegant train.

Jeff and Barry with Fat Cat Productions were able to grab a few shots of Chase as he played touch football and pool with his groomsmen. As 3:30 approached it was time for Ashley to slip into her dress and go see Chase for the first time. This is where she gave him a card that he read out loud softly to her and tears from both streamed down each-other's faces. They didn't even notice us, Jeff, Tyffany, Netanya and the Fat Cat crew Barry and Steph as we were all in the sanctuary documenting their private moment. Their eyes and emotions were solely on each other. It made for killer shots for us and amazing footage for Barry and Steph. The ceremony was another tear jerker as parents cried during the ceremony as they were so happy to see their children so in love with one another.

On the back of Ashley and Chase's program was a quote nicely stated by Nora Ephron, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Ashley and Chase had really built a strong friendship-based relationship for five years and have planned so much for this special day. Ashley kept saying it was hard to believe their wedding day was already here.

After the ceremony Ashley and Chase had an Excursion limo waiting for them outside where guests gathered with handfuls of rose petals to shower over them as they made it to the limo. Then the driver of the limo took them with the wedding party, Jeff, and Steph to Reflection Ridge to grab some beautiful sunset shots in front of a pond and a golf course as the backdrop. Having a few more minutes left with the limo we had time to stop off at Sedgwick County park to get a few more pics. Then it was off to the reception which was held at Camp Hiawatha. The events rolled right along as they cut their cake, had their first dance, father-daughter dance, mother-son dances, garter toss, bouquet toss, wedding party dance, money dance and then the longest couple married dance. The longest married couple ended up being a tie for 56 years of marriage. Into the evening Chase had a surprise that shocked everyone towards the end. He went and got the microphone from the DJ and sang "Cross My Heart" by George Straight to his new bride and always bride Ashley.

We really had a wonderful time today documenting all the details, smiles, laughter and happy tears. Thank you guys for allowing us to be part of your day and we hope you have a blast in Florida on your honeymoon! :)

Jeremy & Melissa's wedding day was a perfect spring day, which was a huge change from last week's stormy weather. The sunshine and warm (but, not too warm) temperature helped make Jeremy & Melissa's wedding day all they hoped it would be.

The day started with Melissa and the girls getting ready at The Look salon. Then, they met at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church to finish getting ready. The bridesmaids wore light plum colored gowns with halter style bodices, with silver shoulder wraps and heels. The dresses matched Melissa's halter style wedding gown. Melissa and the girls carried plum colored calla-lily bouquets.

The couple placed pictures of their loved ones who have passed at the front of the church. And two of Melissa's cousins lit the candles by the pictures in honor of Melissa's mom and other family members.

After the wedding, the couple and guests proceeded to the church hall for the dinner and dance. The dance began with a grand march let by friends of the couple. With the help of Melissa's family, the dance continued with party hats, fun hair-bands and horn blowers, creating a fun & festive celebration.

Jeremy & Melissa, we hope you continue to be "stuck" on each other for a long and happy lifetime together! And when things get rough, buy more tape! (Sounds like crazy advise but, they'll know what we mean!).
Congrats & God Bless,
Brett & Cheryl

Stacy started her wedding day at Salon Bella to get her hair done and then traveled over to Eric Fisher East to do her make-up. Following her make-up and after grabbing a bite for lunch at McAllisters she drove to the church where she met up with her bridesmaids. Stacy did most of her planning online via E-Bay, e-mail and phone to get all the details organized and they fell into place nicely. Online and phone was the best communication with Stacy and Luke to plan their wedding being that they live in Georgia and a lot of Luke's family was from Kentucky. With that being said and when they set their wedding date for May 5th they didn't even think of it being the 133rd Kentucky Derby. Stacy and Luke knew that May 5th was the best date to work out for their wedding, so they made sure they incorporated the Kentucky Derby in the wedding reception. They had the tables labeled with different horses' names that were in the Derby and table #7 ended up being the lucky table, Street Sense! Luke's side of the family stayed posted to how the Kentucky Derby was going throughout the day and kept up on how the horses were doing.

However, the ceremony started at 5:00 and the race started at 5:04. The ceremony was very elegantly performed by Luke's uncle, Dr. Dwight Moody from out of state, and the home church minister at Plymouth Congregational. Stacy used to sing in the Maize High School choir and had kept in touch with the director. She had the whole Maize High School choir sing a few songs in the balcony during the ceremony. Because Stacy has been away to college in Georgia for 8 years her and Luke had grew accustomed to the limestone and old architecture. This is why they chose Plymouth. It was absolutely gorgeous. Stacy and Luke also wanted to make it special for their guests during communion by handing it out themselves to all their friends and family that attended the wedding.

After the wedding Stacy and Luke had rented a trolley to go around to different locations of Wichita to get some urban photos taken as they traveled to the reception which was held at Rolling Hills Country Club. Before being announced at the reception, Jeff was able to grab a few shots of the wedding party on the golf course. Stacy and Luke, with their parents at their side, lined up to have a receiving line as the guests moved from the cocktail hour to the main ball room to start dinner with a salad and garlic bread. The reception consisted of Stacy and Luke getting the chance to say hi to everyone, cake cutting, first dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance and a contest for the longest couple married being over 60 years. The guests sent the couple on their way in their decorated car around 10 p.m.

Thank you Stacy and Luke for allowing us to be the ones that were able to document your special day capturing much laughter, happy tears, hugs and many details that really will tell the story of your day when all the pictures are posted.

We could not let it go unsaid that our hearts and prayers go out to the families from Greensburg, Ks, who lost everything (including their hometown) to the most devastating tornado our State has ever experienced. Despite the severe weather watches, the rain brought only good luck to Jeff and Jessica as they exchanged vows at North Side Christian Church. Brett and I were joined by the newest member of the T&J family, Netanya.

Jeff and Jessica's wedding was definitely a family affair. The day started with Jessica, both of her sisters (who were her matrons of honor) and Melissa (her other bridesmaid) getting ready at the church. They all had their hair done by the hair stylists in the family, including Jessica's Mom. Then, the girls had their make-up done by Jessica's aunt who is a Mary Kay consultant. When Jessica was finally ready, her mom helped her into her gorgeous lace and sequin gown with crystal button back. Of course, her sisters and Melissa had to help get all the buttons fastened. Many of their other family members were also part of the wedding including three of Jessica's nieces who were flower-girls, two nephews who were ring bearers and Jeff's two brothers that were the best-men.

Jessica added her own special touches to her stunning gown by adding a celadon green ribbon at her waist that flowed down the back of her gown. The green ribbon matched the bridesmaids dresses who each wore matching ribbons. Her gold peep toe pumps were a perfect match to her gown. And the final touch was Jessica's rhinestone chandelier earrings that she thought were a little too "glitzy" for her but, were just right. The men wore traditional tuxes with matching green ties. The bouquets and other flowers were done by The Wild Geranium, they were bright and beautiful arrangements of mixed flowers.

Even though Jeff and Jessica are past teaching the ABC's to their students, "B" was definitely the letter of the day. The handmade colorful programs were uniquely designed in a square shape with a "B" on the front and tied with celdon and white ribbons. They had a "B" cutout at the quest-book table and a "B" cake topper.

The church was beautifully decorated with flower arrangements made by Jessica's sister and tons of candles. It took all four of the ushers to light all of the candles before seating the guests. Despite the weather, Jeff and Jessica were blessed with an incredible turnout of guests to witness their emotional and touching exchange of vows. The ceremony was accompanied by the church choir with a wonderful variety of songs. Everything went according to plan except for the antics of the two ring bearers who placed the ring pillows on the tops of their heads during the ceremony. The couple ushered all of the guests out of the church and joined them at the cake reception only after the last guest was greeted. The church reception hall was decorated with the beautiful flower and candle arrangement created by Jessica's sister. Jessica's other sister prepared all of the food, except for the cake which was a delicious five story confection. Jessica's Mom also decorated dozens of miniature candy bars with photos of the couple. One of the most special touches at the reception, were the family photos of both sets of parents and all the grandparents' wedding pictures, and Jessica's Mom's wedding dress.

Brett and Netanya followed the couple across town to the second reception and dance where they were joined by many of their friends and family. Jeff and Tyff were even able to make it after they finished their other wedding.

Jeff & Jessica, it was such a pleasure meeting you both and your families. We were honored to be part of your special day. We wish you all the best!
God bless,
~Cheryl, Brett and Netanya
