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! :)
