We met Brooke, her Mom, Grandma, sister and bridesmaids at Tres Belle Salon in Derby and then headed to Brooke's parents where they had their make-up done. Once they were ready, we headed to First Christian Church in Derby for the ceremony. The church was nicely decorated with candles lining the aisle and a huge bouquet on the alter. Brooke's bouquet was done by the Flower Factory with uniquely beautiful green roses.
During the ceremony, everyone was surprised after Brooke's dad stated he & her mom gave her away, and then her dad's fellow police officers and friends announced that they did too. After the ceremony, the couple greeted their guests by ushering them out of the pews, getting a chance to thank everyone personally for coming to share their day with them.
After the ceremony, the couple met us near the Keeper of the Plains which was right next to Exploration Place where the reception was taking place and their guests where enjoying dinner catered by Blue Moon. We were so blessed with a beautiful night after the early morning hail storms and prediction for more evening storms.
Once they were announced in, Brooke & Levi headed straight for the cake table and then it was on to the toasts, first dance, father/daughter dance, bouquet toss and garter toss. Oh yeah, the garter was camoflouge in tribute to when Levi proposed to Brooke while they were out turkey hunting. It was a great night and highlighted at the end by fireworks from Lawrence DuMont stadium.
Brooke & Levi, thank you so much to you and your families for making us feel so welcome. It was such an honor to meet all of them and to share your day with you. Enjoy your honeymoon and good luck Brooke with your State Boards - you're going to be a great nurse! And "Above all, love each other deeply" 1 Peter 4:8

We started the day by meeting Becca and her bridesmaids at Salon Uruku where they were all getting their hair done. Barry & Steph with Fat Cat Productions where also there to help document their day. Becca had her hair done in a timeless style with a pink peony tucked in back instead of a veil. Later, Barry & Brett headed to Northrock Lanes to capture Jacob and the guys hanging out & bowling a few frames before meeting back up with everyone at the Scottish Rite Temple where the wedding and reception took place.
The ceremony took place in the auditorium where the alter was decorated beautifully with candles and flowers. The flowers were done by Moore's Flowers and consisted of the most fragrant pink roses, peonies, hydrangeas and a multitude of other flowers. They smelled as beautiful as they looked (which says a lot). The aisle was lined with pink rose petals as Jacob saw Becca for the first time. Jacob got very choked up during the very personal and lovely ceremony. The minister has seen Becca grow up and had gotten to know Jacob through the many years that they've dated making it a very touching ceremony. After the ceremony, the couple and wedding party rode the trolley downtown where Brett, Alex and Steph were able to do some fun shots with the couple and show their fun loving personalities. During this time, their guests were enjoying the chocolate fountain with Cero's delicious chocolate.
After entering down the grand staircase and being announced in by Ron Brown with Another Dimension, the couple and wedding guests were entertained by the "Love Story" Barry & Steph and done of the couple telling how they met and how Jacob proposed. It was hilarious and definitely showcased their personalities and relationship. Of course, the highlight was seeing Becca's dad dance in the video.
The couple greeted their guests as they made their way through the buffet line, catered by Tony Dee's Catering. The couple barely had a chance to eat when it was time for toasts and for the dance to get started. Once the dance started, the party was in full swing.
Becca & Jacob, it was an honor to document your day.

Friday started off with a bang, literally, I met up with Anthony, his dad, and Canon (a groomsman) at the sporting clays range for a round of shooting before the wedding. It was a great time, and even though the wind was making the targets fly pretty erratic, all the guys were able to hit quite a few. After the shooting was over I headed to Cheveaux salon to meet up with the ladies for hair and makeup.
Once all was done, we headed to Central Christian Church to finish getting ready, take the formal portraits, and of course, the ceremony. The church was decorated beautifully with a large arbor adorned with flowers. Kimmy's mom and one of her friends did an excellent job with most of the decorations. Kimmy's bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets and all the other fresh flowers were done by Susan's Florals.
After the ceremony, the couple left to a shower of bubbles and since the kids had bubble guns they produced a ton of bubbles. The couple drove away in a bright yellow Corvette. We stopped at Bradley Fair to take a few pics before heading the The Villa in Andover for the reception. And luckily, the police didn't give Anthony a speeding ticket after seeing Kimmy in her wedding dress. The couple was introduced down the grand staircase. They went straight to the cake table and then had a chance to mingle with their guests before finally getting a bite to eat and starting the dance. The night flew by and everyone seemed to have a great time.
Kimmy & Anthony, thank you so much for letting us be part of your day. To take the quote from your program, "Two lives united in friendship, Two Friends united in love, One love united in Christ.", it's what everyone hopes to find and what you two have in each other.

Saturday we were fortunate enough to be able to photograph the wedding of Kelsey and Scott. About 9 months ago we photographed Scott's sisters wedding and it was really nice to see all the family and friends once again. We were also lucky enough to have Karen come and join us to help shoot some candid images.
Kelsey, her mom and bridesmaids all met at Fringe Salon in the water front to have their hair done for the day, from there it was the MAC counter for make up and then to Eastminister Church to get dressed and have the ceremony.
Following the ceremony the couple left the church to a shower of bubbles and boarded a trolly. We made a quick stop at Bradley Fair for some photos before heading to the reception at Tanganyka Wildlife Park.
The couple was introduced into the reception and then seated for dinner. Near sunset I was able to take the couple outside for some more photos before they cut the cake and began the dance.
It was a great day, and a lot of fun to share another special day Scott's family and to get to know the wonderfully nice family of Kelsey. Thanks to every one for making it such a wonderful day

Jenna and Matt
What a great day! I started early by meeting the ladies at De-al salon for hair and makeup. Following that we all went to St. Mary's Cathedral to finish getting ready, take a few photos and of course, the ceremony. While Jenna and the ladies were getting ready, I took some of the portraits of Matt, his family and groomsmen. As soon as the girls were ready, the men hid away and ate lunch while we took some shots of the Jenna, and her bridal party and family.
Matt and Jenna had decided to see each other before the ceremony, so we cleared the church so they could have their viewing, and then spend a few quite moments with each other before we began the group and family photos.
It was a beautiful ceremony and Mass, and afterwards the couple exited the church to a shower of rose pedals. We finished up with a few formal shots at the church. On the way to the reception, we stopped at Riverside park to take a few shots of the couple out side.
We then went on to the reception at the Petroleum Club, as always, Kathy had everything ready to go. The couple was introduced in and then went over to cut the cake and have the toasts before being served a wonderful meal. After dinner the party really got started. Matt and Jenna were able to have the band Papa Sol, from Atlanta, play the wedding dance. They were an incredible band that had everyone dancing until the night was over.
We would like to thank Matt, Jenna and all their family and friends who were so great to work with. Best wishes on your life together.
