Tammy and her bridesmaids, her mom, her daughter, Jace's mom, and her friends started out at Panara for breakfast. They laughed and relaxed over coffee and bagels while Jace and his Groomsmen and friends did the same at Cracker Barrel. Jace and the guys went their separate ways and got ready. Tammy and the lady's went a couple doors down from Panara to Tips and Toes where her sisters, daughter, mom and even Jace's mom got pedicures and manicures. They all got matching flowers on their toes. Tammy and her friend, a brides maid, already had theirs done. After everyone was set getting their nails done Tammy and her friend snuck off to run some errands. They first stopped at Wal-Mart to get some essentials like protein bars and bottled water. After Wal-Mart they went to the bridal shop to pick up their dresses and for her bridesmaid to try hers on once more. After errands they went to the Broadview hotel to finish getting ready. Tammy's younger sister and hairdresser Tiffany did the lady's hair and makeup. Everyone who was finished headed over to the church in the limo while Tammy and her little sister finished getting ready. It was raining pretty bad that day so after hair and makeup was finished Tammy and her sister decided to wait till they got to the church to get into their dresses.

The ceremony was at St. Mary's Cathedral. It was a very pretty, simple ceremony that went smoothly. After the ceremony was over we (Brett and Netanya) finished the group pictures.

The reception was held at the Tanganyika wild life park where the couple was surrounded by their friends and family. Tammy had a very elegant four tier cake and Jace had a life like tackle box cake. After cake the couple had their first dance together and then the parent dances. They had a live band called Big Fat Fun that sang all the songs and played the music. After the dances the matron of honor repeated her speech that she gave at the ceremony and two of Jace's close friends gave speeches also. After a few more dances everyone was gathered up for the garter / bouquet toss. Tammy's younger sister caught the bouquet and a boy from the audience caught the garter.

Overall the day was a ton of fun and we thank you Tammy and Jace for letting us document your day and the best of luck to the two of you.

Melissa and her bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law hung out in McPherson at Creative Hairlines to they get their hair and make-up done before heading to First Congregational Church in Hutchinson, Kansas. Melissa's beautician had done her hair for a long time and gave Melissa a gift consisting of a special mixed foundation.



While Tyffany and Netanya were documenting the ladies in McPherson Jeff was documenting Brian and the guys at Craig Allen's, a men's salon. Brian had his face wrapped in a hot towel, nails done and smoked a cigar in the cigar lounge with his future father-in-law, Greg. As the ladies arrived at the church they got to see their bouquets that included red Hawaiian Anthuriums as the main focus with a splash of lime green foliage. Melissa got ready in the same bride's room as her mom had exactly 34 years to the day of Melissa's wedding day.



Melissa had a beautiful Maggie Sottero wedding dress with cap sleeves and a floor length veil. The bridesmaids wore red strapless dresses with red and white polka dotted Betty Boop shoes. When we traveled to Kansas City to do Melissa and Brian's engagement session they invited us into their apartment and it was evident that Melissa loves Betty Boop so it was a bonus to find such shoes for her 6 bridesmaids to wear. Before the ceremony Melissa had some socks that said "Cold Feet" and she wanted to be sure she had a fun picture with them. Netanya and Tyffany had her go into the chapel, near the bride's room, and sit backwards in the pew with her feet propped up over the pew and shot back against the cross in the background. It made for a cute shot as you will see in the debut. Pastor Richard traveled from Colorado Springs to marry Melissa and Brian. Pastor Richard was Melissa's pastor as she was a little girl growing up and so Melissa was very honored to have him come perform the ceremony. After the wedding Melissa and Brian ushered their guests out of the pews before coming back to the front of the church for more pictures of the two of them, family and wedding party. Then it was time to head to Prairie Dunes Country Club for the reception.



We were able to grab a few pics of Melissa and Brian and the wedding party on the greens. The reception was absolutely gorgeous for guests to gather and have quite the fun time. The groom's cake consisted of a mountain and toy Jeeps amongst a forest of trees. It was definitely a surprise to guests when the DJ started playing "I'm too Sexy" and Melissa's dad, brother and friend started dancing taking their tuxedo coats off to reveal that they had white collared shirts with wild patterned sleeves underneath. It was one of many highlights that occurred. Before the end of the reception it was time for Brian to cut his groom's cake, the Best man even helped.



The newleyweds fed each-other smearing icing all over each other's faces. Brian knew then it would make for a great kiss with his new bride. He ran over and kissed Melissa sharing some of the icing that was on his face. Before leaving we had the chance to say, "See you in a month," to one of our future brides that was Melissa's maid-of-honor, Becky, who is getting married August 3, 2007.

We want to say that we had an absolute blast of a time and can't wait to see you guys again soon at Becky's wedding. And if things get sad or troubled just remember the turtle story. We love you guys and you are great!

The day started off with a trip to Eric Fisher Salon for the ladies to get their hair done, followed by a trip next door to get the nails done. While the ladies were at the salons, the men went to All Star sports for a few rounds in the batting cages and then a couple laps in the go carts. From there we went to the church where Erica and the ladies had their make up done and got into their dresses while the gentlemen put on their tuxedos. The photos started with a private viewing where Josh saw Erica in her dress for the first time before we began with the formal and group portraits.

The ceremony was truly a family affair, the celebration was officiated by Josh's dad. Josh's brother was the best man and Erica's sister was the matron of honor. After the ceremony, the bride and groom left the church to a shower of bubbles, and it was off to the park for more photos. After leaving the park we made one more quick stop down town to take some photos by one of the statues.

Arriving at the Garvey Center, the couple was announced into the reception by Jeff of Complete Music. The reception started with a game to test the wedding party's knowledge about the couple followed by dinner. After dinner is was more games, cake cutting and of course the toast.
The dance began with the couples first dance followed by parent dances and then the snow ball. After a few more dances the couple had a dollar dance to help send them on their honeymoon.

Congratulations Josh and Erica, and thank you so much for allowing us to participate in your special day.

Today started with Ashley getting her hair done 9 a.m. at Progressions Salon & Day Spa with her mom, six of her bridesmaids, and a friend who was a reader during the ceremony. Then they all piled into a white van to travel to the East side of town where they all got their make-up done. Once they arrived at Dillard's they all split up and went to different make-up counters. Ashley got hers done at the MAC Counter and others were at either the Clinique, Origins, or Prescriptives Counters. Then a little before noon we headed to the church where Adam arrived to get ready and Ashley showed up shortly after. As I waited I had a little time to grab a few shots of Ashley's beautiful, timeless dress she found at Reni's Bridal Boutique. As Ashley came in the bridal parlor a gift from Adam awaited her in a long skinny black jewelry box. It was a bracelet made of pearls with diamonds as the clasps he had picked out from Zales. Ashley's gift to Adam was a silver money clip from Tiffany's with his initials engraved on it.

Ashley and Adam's colors were bright red and lime green and their flowers were green Hydrangeas and orchids.

The ceremony was gorgeous with a foam backed white runner that lined the long aisle. Before guests were seated the runner was pinned in place and red and white petals were evenly dropped on either side of the runner.

Ashley's dad, Dave, escorted her down the aisle to give her away to Adam. Adam was all smiles to see his absolutely stunning bride for the first time. After the ceremony guests were handed a handful of white rose petals to shower over the couple as they headed through the parted sea of people to the white stretched Excursion limousine. The couple drove around the block and came back for more pictures with family and the two of them. Before heading to the reception they wanted pictures in a park and with urban brick buildings. We went to a park in Old Town to shoot and down an alley for some fun shots. Then one shot that Ashley definitely knew she wanted was the bridal party lined up walking towards the camera in the street. We were able to get out in the middle of Douglas street when cars weren't coming. When we came to the intersection the light turned green but we kept walking and they laughed and had a great time. This made for some really cool shots and probably got some laughs and smiles for the people in the cars as they waited. After the photo session it was time to head to the reception that was held at Adam's parents house in the country near Hillsboro, Kansas.

Everyone gathered under a huge white tent that overlooked a beautiful pond. As the evening got darker Ashley and Adam wanted pictures on Adam's Harley Davidson driving away. Deanna and Jason with Today for Tomorrow Videography had Adam rev his bike's engine to work into their video later. Then shortly after we heard a big boom that started the light show of fireworks that were shot off over the pond. Jeff got some killer shots of Ashley and Adam as they watched the fireworks.

Adam and Ashley, we want to thank you for allowing us to document your wedding as the "poppies" that we were nicknamed at the salon by the bridesmaids and was carried through the day. We had a great time and we hope you have a blast at the Sandal's Resort for your honeymoon. Take pictures because we want to see them when you get back!

Yesterday was a destination wedding in Dodge City, KS. We booked Kim and Kyle at a Bridal Fair in Wichita, KS at Century II little over a year and half ago. They picked their wedding date to be June 16 because it was their anniversary for being together as a couple. Yesterday marked their four years of being together. The wedding was very pretty with turquoise and lime green as their main colors with a splash of pumpkin orange and canary yellow used in the flowers. Kim's dress was cream with gold stitching on the boddess and the side split with lace and detailed stitching. Kim's mom, Tina, was a crafty creative mom who made all the bridesmaids, candle lighters dresses, and stitched jewels on Kim's train in the shape of a palm tree. This was something special that Tina did for Kim that Kim was greatly surprised to see when she helped Kim in her wedding dress. Palm trees was something that Kim loves. The theme was carried into the reception with paint cans punched out on the sides in the shape of palm trees and lit up palm trees in the corners of the reception hall that was held at the Dodge House Hotel. Tina had also made the wedding cake with sea shells that lined the outside of the cake and the tiered grooms cake which was chocolate with chocolate frosting and brilliant plump red strawberries. The ceremony was performed at The Lady of Guadeloupe Catholic Church and was a very beautiful occasion that brought family together from all over.

Thank you for booking us as your photographer and we wish you many happy years together.

The day started off a little bit rocky, Jessica forgot her slip at home, but mom ran home to get it and the rest of the day was a synch.

Jessica arrived at St. Joe Catholic church around noon to finish getting ready. She already had her hair and makeup done before she arrived at the church. Her matron of honor, Courtney, helped her slip into her dress while Greg got ready down stairs. After Jessica and Greg finished getting ready they saw each other for the first time that day. They did their "best friends" hand shake and had a moment alone.

The ceremony went great. We were able to get some interesting angles. Jessica and Greg were a little teary eyed but the mood was lightened by the Fr. Weldon, who was cracking jokes. After the ceremony they were greeted by a sea of people and bubbles as they exited the church.

After the bus arrived to take the couple and the bridal party to the reception the whole party went straight to McDonalds for a snack. They also made a few more pit stops to pick up more beverages because it was extremely HOT on the bus. They may have not picked up water or soda, but they certainly cooled down and had a ton of fun.

The reception was at the Airport Hilton hotel and was very nice. Jessica and Greg had two bars set aside and food catered in for their guests. The couple also had a gorgeous four tier cake and a chocolate United States Navy grooms cake. The grooms cake was certainly a hit with the kids, for they kept sampling it before it was cut. The guests were pulled in on the fun when the dj set up the wedding survivor game. Jessica and Greg pulled people out of the wedding party as well as from the crowd to play. The contestants were sent out into the crowd to receive a specific item and then they had to return to a chair, kind of like musical chairs. Everyone got really into the game and especially when it got down to the wire. When the last two contestants, usher Brandon and Maid of honor Courtney, were racing back to the chair an audience member deiced to take the odds of the game into her own hands and tackled Brandon. In the end no one was hurt and Brandon won a koozie. The guests were also encouraged to participate in the dollar dance which helped the couple raise I think over 1,300 for their honeymoon in Aruba. The evening ended with the couple taking a plunge into the Hotel Pool.

Jessica and Greg were very fun couple and we thank you again for letting us spend the day with you! Best of luck in Virginia and we hope that your friends and family who are over seas right now returns home safe!

Alia started her day 6.9.07 at Eric Fisher Salon West with her mom and her three bridesmaids. They then traveled to the East for make-up in Dillard's at the MAC Counter. Alia put on her dress at the church, Olivet Baptist. Allia's bridesmaids wore chocolate brown V-neck dresses and the flower-girl wore a white dress with a matching brown sash that tied in a bow. Alia and Chris had chose to see each other and got all the pictures done before the ceremony. At the beginning of the ceremony the couple had a slideshow of them to show to their guest before Alia came down the aisle. The slideshow consisted of baby pictures of Alia and Chris and it progressed with older pics of them up to now with the two of them together. After the ceremony Alia and Chris allotted time to have more pictures done of the two of them going around different locations in Old Town Wichita, KS. The reception was held at the Petroleum Club. The groom's cake was chocolate frosting with a KU Jayhawk on it. The food was chicken fingers, 7-layer dip, fruit, barbecue meatballs and kabobs. The kids had fun playing in the chocolate fountain throughout the evening. Before leaving that evening Alia changed into another dress to be sent away with her new groom as guests showered them with bubbles leaving the dance floor. As we were there it was nice to see two previous brides of ours. It was a fun time to document the wedding of Alia and Chris and see familiar faces like Stacy and Adam and Courtney and Andrew that we had documented in the previous years.

Thank you for allowing us to document your day.

Arta started her wedding day, 6.8.07, with her, her mom and David's mom going to the Clinque Counter in Von Maur for make-up. They, as ladies do, had fun getting all dolled up. While Arta's mom finished up with make-up, Arta and David's mom went to Fredrick's to buy a garter. Then she and her mom went together to get their hair done. David, his dad and Arta's dad went to Sea Dreams to pick up goldfish for the center pieces that were displayed at the reception. Guests had the option to take home a goldfish. The guys then went to Old Chicago where they joined in some fun with a game of pool. Before heading to Exploration Place they had one more stop to make at Susans to pick up the flowers. Afterwards, it was time to head and get ready and have the ceremony take place. The ceremony was held outside of Exploration Place on the patio that overlooks the Keeper of the Plains and cable bridges. The ceremony was small with her parents, the groom's parents and David's grandma and attendants sharing the day. Arta looked absolutely gorgeous in a simple but elegant strapless white wedding gown. David was dressed in a classic tan sleek suite with a burnt orange tie that went with his yellow with burnt orange edged calla lily as his boutonniere. Following the ceremony we took some group shots and then we were blessed to have a little over an hour and a half with Arta and David to go around to different locations in Old Town. The reception was held later that evening for friends to attend and to join in the celebration of Arta and David's union. Following the reception Arta and David were up for getting low light nighttime shots and then cool off in the fountains in front of the Old Town Warren Theatre.

Thank you for your spontaneity and adventurous character. The pictures
really reflect the passion that you guys have for one another.

On June 3, 2007 Rebecca and Micah celebrated their wedding at Dyck Arboretum of the Plaines in Hesston. Once we, Brett and Netanya, arrived at the gardens we were able to grab some details including shots of true outdoor theme with her dress hanging from a tree. During the ceremony Rebecca and her bridesmaids wanted to be sure they were comfortable by going barefoot. Both Rebecca and Micah didn't let the mosquitos dampen their spirits on their day. They were able to focus on their love for one another and enjoy each other with friends and family.

At the reception the cutting of the cake was unique to the couple. The wedding cake consisted of a two layer strawberry short cake. The guests were served individual strawberry shortcake with whipped cream on top. during the reception the groomsmen, including Micah's brother Andrew, took a moment to make sure they decorated the couple's car. The inside was filled with balloons and the windows were painted with window chalk to go with the same theme that Micah did to Andrew and Courtney's truck back in September of 2006.

We want to thank Rebecca and Miach for letting us document your
special day.

June 2, 2007 was my cousin Shelby's wedding. With her only being three years behind me, (Tyff), her and I were really close growing up spending many summers together playing at the pool in Salina, Kansas.

Shelby and Chad have been together for three and a half years and really have had a solid friendship-based relationship. She got her hair done at The Hair Company Salon at 12:00 Noon. Then she headed back to the church, University Methodist Church close to Kansas Wesleyan University, to have Chad's cousin (Colby), put on her make-up and for Nat (Shelby's mom), to help put on Shelby's wedding dress. Shelby looked truly amazing! She is always about being comfortable, so her white flip flops were a perfect match to her personality.

Shelby and Chad made the ceremony very meaningful for both their parents and grandparents. They had the candle-lighters light 25 of the 50 candles that they had at the front of the church. The parents then went up and lit theirs and the grandparents finished up the remainder of 50. This also gave each one a chance to give a hug to the bride and the groom.

Afterwards they had guests line up to send them off in a red Oldsmobile Convertible. We were able to grab a few shots on the steps of the Masonic Temple, also. Then it was off to the party that was held in Grandma Leister's barn. They had HobKnob cater in the wonderful food by Nat's restaurant with baked beans, pasta salad, red potatoes, roast beef with barbecue, and pork. The Happy Crappy Beer mixed with a little of Whiskey, Ever Clear, lime and more kept the party alive and hopping!

We want to thank you for allowing us be a part of the wedding and document your special day. We wish you many happy years together. Chad, you know at times you are going to have to keep Shelb in line! Just kidding Shel Bell!

What a beautiful couple and beautiful wedding. The ceremony took place in Adams home town of Norwich, Kansas at the Norwich United Methodist Church. The day began with photos of Maryna getting ready, assisted by her mother Ludmyla, who was able to make the trip from the Ukraine to be with her daughter, and her American mother Mary Anne as well as the bridesmaids and Junior brides maids. While the ladies were getting ready, Adam and I stepped outside for a few photos around the church and surrounding wheat fields.

Maryna was so anxious to see Adam that she got ready in record time. Following a private moment where Adam saw Maryna for the first time in her dress, we began with formal photos of the bridal party and family. A wonderful ceremony followed that incorporated some of the traditions from Marynas home. After the ceremony the couple exited the church to a shower of flower petals and jumped in the limo for a quick trip around the block. They came back to the church for a quick photo session in the surrounding wheat fields. After that is was off to Wichita, and the Hyatt for the reception. At the reception Adams parents, Don and Patricia, showed an incredible slide show of the couple as they grew up. This was followed by dinner, dancing and the garter / bouquet toss. Then, as the sun was going down we were able to go outside for one last photo session along the river.

It was a very beautiful wedding and we are so thankful to have been able to share this very special day with Adam and Maryna and their families.

Thank you and Congratulations
Brett

Nicole started her day at Sola Salons to get her hair done. Although we have been to many of the salons in Wichita, Sola was a new destination for us to document hair. Nicole hung out with her bridesmaids as they got their hair done as well. The stylist, Ray, was very good and fast. He rolled all the girl's hair in barrel curls and clipped them up. This gave them all a 40's hair style. Ray said with the weather being humid he would leave the girl's hair up till right before pictures and follow them to the church to let their hair down and spray with "Pantene" hairspray. Ray was fun and he made the girl's day very special. After the salon we headed to Nicole's house to pick up her dress and a few last minute details before heading to the church.

I, Tyffany, got the pleasure of meeting Peaches, a cross between a Pomeranian and Chihuahua. She was the most adorable little piece of fur ball you have ever seen. The girls had Jimmy John's sub sandwiches when they got to Blessed Sacrament. Then it was time to do last minute touch ups and for Nicole to go see Jason for the first time. So, Ashley, Nicole's sister, helped her with her make-up and Sally, Nicole's mom, helped her slip into her dress. Nicole looked stunning in her cream strapless dress with bead work throughout and she carried a bouquet of deep red roses and white Polar Star roses. She walked up behind Jason and tapped him on the shoulder for their first reveal. They both couldn't stop smiling. Sparks were definitely flying. Nicole got Jason a beer mug that said "Groom" on it for her wedding gift to him. We were able to grab a few shots outside before it started pouring rain. Nicole and Jason said that they were thrilled that when they heard it was going to rain because they love it when it rains. They didn't let it dampen their spirits.

The ceremony was beautiful. The bridesmaids wore light golden strapless dresses as they came down the aisle with their matching groomsmen. Following the ceremony the guests showered Nicole and Jason with lots of bubbles as they headed to a white stretched limo by Artistic Limousine. The reception was held at the Holiday Inn Select with a classic candlelight lit room.

Nicole and Jason we want to say thank you for letting us be part of your day. We really enjoyed documenting it from start to finish.

Kendra started her day at Eric Fisher salon in Wichita. Alongside her five bridesmaids her hair was hot rolled, poofed, and curled once more. After they were all dolled up the ladies headed to Westlink Christian church where the ceremony was taking place to do the makeup and slip into their dresses. Kendra had one of her maids of honor and her best friend, liz do her makeup. Her other maid of honor was her sister Nicole. The bridesmaids were Lauren, Lindsay, and Katelynn. O and we cant forget Kendra's personal attendant and loving aunt Diane. Diane was there to help kendra with any little thing that she needed from fixing her earrings to her shoes. Her mother was also awesome and did all the organizing. by the end of the night Denise(her mom) was taking a well deserved nap in the pew. The whole day went extremely smooth and low stress even the groomsmen found time to play. If they weren't popping into a pict unexpectedly they were using a lint roller as a microphone and narrating what brad was thinking. Kendra and brad were such a cute couple and they have a large amount of support from all of their friends and family. We wish the best of luck to you two in arizona and CONGRATULATIONS!
