Laura and her bridesmaids rode together from Wichita to the church in Newton, Bethel Mennonite Church on Bethel University Campus. The limestone church looked very festive with a blanket of fresh white snow over it and green wreaths with red bows on the front doors. Laura and the ladies headed up the stairs where they had the whole top floor to themselves to get ready. The ladies all got their hair and make-up done and had a mixture of music playing in the background to set the mood (Lots of Moulin Rouge!). Laura's dress was a beautiful two piece that was strapless and laced up the back. The bottom skirting was gathered taffeta. Laura slipped into her dress with her bridesmaids help and mom's help as well. After grabbing a few shots of the ladies downstairs in the sanctuary, Jeff and I were able to get some fun shots of Laura sitting on a retro couch located in front of a window.
Jeff was able to get the groom, Josh, and his groomsmen outside for some fun pics out in the snow. Of course not getting too dirty - but they still had fun and it made for some great shots.
A few minutes before the ceremony Laura and her immediate family gathered together with the pastor and had a prayer. Josh and the guys did the same thing downstairs still hidden away for Laura not to see him until she came down the aisle with her dad. Josh was grinning from ear to ear when he saw his stunning bride. The ceremony was very cool talking about how to work at your marriage and that investing into your marriage is important. Matt, Andrew, David and Justin sang a hymn together nicely harmonizing while Laura and Josh lit their unity candle. Laura and Josh also sang a song to God together as a prayer to Him. Following the ceremony Laura slipped on a white jacket that went well with her dress.
They carried a red umbrella that shaded them as guests showered them with red rose petals while they walked through the sea of people to a red antique car. After Laura and Josh drove around the block, they came back for the groups photos. Then we walked over to the hall across campus to the reception. The hall was very nicely decorated with a very tall live Christmas Tree in the corner where the guests put the gifts for Laura and Josh. The cake was very gorgeous which was made by Sylvia Campbell, Laura's mother. After what Don Campbell, Laura's dad, said Laura had a vision and ran with it to make the hall look how she envisioned. The DJ was a cousin to Laura, Ben Wheeler.
Chocolate Cascades was there with their chocolate fountain providing all kinds of goodies to dip into the chocolate. Laura and Josh had a great time feeding each other the chocolate. Laura put on an apron that said "Bride" to prevent any dripping onto her dress. I did find it very unique that they had every kind of popcorn that you could think of for guests to munch on. Along with that they had chips and dip as well. Laura and Josh got a chance to spend time with close family and friends. Josh and Laura- We want to thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day and document such cherished memories. Have fun in Florida on your honeymoon and we hope you get a chance to sit back and relax on the beach.
You guys were GREAT!
Tyff and Jeff
