Before we mention how Bryna and Mitch's day went we want to share a little history of their relationship. Thanks to the DJ, Ryan Funk, at the reception he gave us the write up of what he read as Bryna and Mitch made their grand entrance to their reception. Often times when two people come together and meet they share a unique story in how they got to the point in life to marry. Bryna and Mitch were no exception to that rule. Bryna and Mitch met in college- Bryna's roommate knew Mitch from High School. After going over there to visit Bryna and Mitch's connection grew stronger. They decided to go on their first official date and with Mitch's concern it may not work out he invited his buddy and girl-friend to come along to keep the mood light and fun. They did hit it off and so they agreed to continue dating. What I thought was funny when Bryna told her parents about Mitch, she said he had lots of children, was covered in tattoos and piercings, and had a mullet! The plain and simple truth was that these two were falling in love with one another.





The proposal was well thought out by Mitch. It was during a K-State spring game. Mitch had a connection with the athletic department and had it worked out to where they would both be on the field together. He had told Bryna that it was a trivia contest, and he had to be down there to answer a few questions. But it wasn't a trivia contest at all. The stadium camera panned down to them and Mitch, in front of 20,000 people, dropped to one knee and asked Byrna to spend the rest of her life with him! Of coruse, she said yes.



Bryna started her day with her mom, two sisters and three bridesmaids getting their hair and make-up done at 7:30 inside of warm Avenue Styles Salon. Shortly after everyone was there it started snowing and blowing. As we were leaving, the snow was starting to stick to the ground. We arrived at Riverside Christian Church to have Bryna finish getting ready and start taking pictures with Mitch. Maggie looked stunning in a Maggie Sottero Midgley one piece, strapless, full A-line gown with corset closure in the back. This draped Capri Taffeta gown featured a ruched bodice with sparking lace embellishments and tiers of pleated organza. It truly looked timeless on Bryna- and Mitch you could tell was very pleased when he saw his bride for the first time. After taking some family shots we asked if they wanted to brave it and go outside. They surprised us with their decision of saying "Yes, lets do it!" By this time the snow had become a white out and it was really hard to see very far at all. We were able to slip outside of the church for some quick shots in the snow. Bryna had chosen red and peach'ish roses for her bouquet that really popped in the fresh white snow. Then we hurried back inside to thaw out. After finishing with family shots it was time to have Bryna and Mitch go hide as guests were starting to arrive around 11:30 for the noon ceremony. About a quarter after noon we got word that the ceremony was delayed because of the snow outside to allow all guests to arrive to the wedding. Some of which, Bryna's grandparents, who lived in Clearwater were afraid they wouldn't be able to make it, but an Uncle went to get them, allowing them to share in Bryna and Mitch's special day. The ceremony started around 1:00. A string quartet played the music which sounded great and gave a nice tone to the sanctuary.



After the ceremony, guests piled out of the church cleaning off their cars of snow and ice. Only a few blocks away the reception was being held, inside the warm ballroom of Botanica. Ryan Funk, the DJ, announced the wedding party along with the bride and groom. They then cut the cake and following was the toasts given by the best man, sisters, and father of the bride. Guests then mingled and congratulated Bryna and Mitch on their marriage along with getting to share in the chocolate fountain, food and whine catered by Truffles.



The food was very good and divine. While guests were eating and after Bryna and Mitch had a chance to eat we went and asked if they wanted to brave the snow again. They were up for it. Bryna grabbed her brown mink shawl that her Great Great Aunt used to own and her grandmother had kept in tact. We found a bright colored umbrella that one of the guests had left by the door that they used as we went out in the shin high snow. Mitch scooped up Bryna and twirled her around and they dipped in the snow. That made for some really killer shots. Thanks guys for being up for whatever and spontaneous. Then we headed inside as we were all covered in snow. The dance was started off as Bryna and Mitch danced their first song together as husband and wife. Then Bryna shared in a dance with her father along with Mitch dancing with his mother. Everybody had a great time! Thank you guys for such a great opportunity to get to know the two of you and document your wedding day. Thank you also to both of the families making us feel comfortable and at ease to be in our element.
