Friday morning Jeff and I traveled just up the road to Newton, KS. Jennifer got her hair done at Gina's Hair Salon on Main Street in Newton not to far from the church, Newton Bible Church. Jennifer had planned her day very relaxed and allowed lots of time to get ready so it wasn't rushed. Her colors were marine blue, silver and accents of red used in the bouquets and boutonniere's. The bridesmaids wore floor length marine blue dresses. Her dress was found at David's Bridal. It was satin with accents of beadwork and a chapel length train. Jennifer is one of eight sisters who all played a role in the wedding. She had 6 bridesmaids, 2 junior bridesmaids and 2 flower girls. The groomsmen were all dressed in black tuxes with blue vests and ties. Jennifer and Kenton did choose to see each other beforehand to get all the pictures done. We were able to document their special moment together and then we had them hop in our car to go around to different locations in Newton to get some really awesome shots. A few pictures in a field, on the Bethel campus and a unique architecture place were just a few spots that we were able to stop at. Then it was time to get them back to the church so we could finish up with the wedding party and family. Finishing up pictures an hour before the ceremony allowed plenty of time for both Jennifer and Kenton to grab a sandwich and relax. The ceremony was very romantic with lights and tulle running down each side of the center aisle and candles lit at the front of the church. After the ceremony as guests headed to the church's hall where the reception took place, Jennifer and Kenton gathered with close family members in a room to wait to enter into their reception. Friends and family lined up to get a special desert that was absolutely divine. Each guest got a heart shaped devil's chocolate food cake with chocolate syrup drizzled and powdered white sugar sprinkled over the top. Jennifer and Kenton had a 10 inch round white cake with a monogram of their initials on top. Kenton used a plasma torch to cut a circle with JK on it out of metal. It made for a great cake topper for their wedding. After they cut their cake both the dads did a dedication speech to Jennifer and Kenton saying how proud they are of both of them. Shortly after the speeches Jennifer tossed her bouquet. One cool thing that I learned later in the day was the ceremony was broadcasted over an Apple laptop that sat in the front pew and streamed via IChat. This allowed some of Jennifer and Kenton's close friends who weren't able to make it from Wyoming to watch the wedding. During the reception Jennifer came up to me and said I will be right back cause they were going to IChat their friends that were in Wyoming. They are very close to Jennifer and Kenton and understood they couldn't make it to the wedding but took the time out to say hi on their special day. I thought that was very cool! They then mingled with guests until the limo arrived to pick them up. Guests grabbed a sparkler and lit them as Jennifer and Kenton made their way to the limo through a shower of sparks.

We want to thank you guys for allowing us be part of your special day. We had so much fun hanging out with you guys and documenting. Hope you have fun in Tennessee! Stay in Touch!
