Today started as Tyffany and Netanya arrived at Westlink Christian Church to cover bridal prep and details. Ashley arrived at the church with her mom and bridesmaids as they got their hair done by Mindy who is a beautician at Personal Touch in Valley Center. The ladies all mingled and had a good time as Sandi, Ashley's mom, helped the bridesmaids get their toes painted. Ashley's big decision of the day was deciding which four pair of earrings to wear. Her final choice turned out to be striking, classy and perfect in every way! They were long dangling sparkly earrings that went well with her beautiful, stunning, fitted strapless wedding gown with an elegant train.

Jeff and Barry with Fat Cat Productions were able to grab a few shots of Chase as he played touch football and pool with his groomsmen. As 3:30 approached it was time for Ashley to slip into her dress and go see Chase for the first time. This is where she gave him a card that he read out loud softly to her and tears from both streamed down each-other's faces. They didn't even notice us, Jeff, Tyffany, Netanya and the Fat Cat crew Barry and Steph as we were all in the sanctuary documenting their private moment. Their eyes and emotions were solely on each other. It made for killer shots for us and amazing footage for Barry and Steph. The ceremony was another tear jerker as parents cried during the ceremony as they were so happy to see their children so in love with one another.

On the back of Ashley and Chase's program was a quote nicely stated by Nora Ephron, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Ashley and Chase had really built a strong friendship-based relationship for five years and have planned so much for this special day. Ashley kept saying it was hard to believe their wedding day was already here.

After the ceremony Ashley and Chase had an Excursion limo waiting for them outside where guests gathered with handfuls of rose petals to shower over them as they made it to the limo. Then the driver of the limo took them with the wedding party, Jeff, and Steph to Reflection Ridge to grab some beautiful sunset shots in front of a pond and a golf course as the backdrop. Having a few more minutes left with the limo we had time to stop off at Sedgwick County park to get a few more pics. Then it was off to the reception which was held at Camp Hiawatha. The events rolled right along as they cut their cake, had their first dance, father-daughter dance, mother-son dances, garter toss, bouquet toss, wedding party dance, money dance and then the longest couple married dance. The longest married couple ended up being a tie for 56 years of marriage. Into the evening Chase had a surprise that shocked everyone towards the end. He went and got the microphone from the DJ and sang "Cross My Heart" by George Straight to his new bride and always bride Ashley.

We really had a wonderful time today documenting all the details, smiles, laughter and happy tears. Thank you guys for allowing us to be part of your day and we hope you have a blast in Florida on your honeymoon! :)

Jeremy & Melissa's wedding day was a perfect spring day, which was a huge change from last week's stormy weather. The sunshine and warm (but, not too warm) temperature helped make Jeremy & Melissa's wedding day all they hoped it would be.

The day started with Melissa and the girls getting ready at The Look salon. Then, they met at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church to finish getting ready. The bridesmaids wore light plum colored gowns with halter style bodices, with silver shoulder wraps and heels. The dresses matched Melissa's halter style wedding gown. Melissa and the girls carried plum colored calla-lily bouquets.

The couple placed pictures of their loved ones who have passed at the front of the church. And two of Melissa's cousins lit the candles by the pictures in honor of Melissa's mom and other family members.

After the wedding, the couple and guests proceeded to the church hall for the dinner and dance. The dance began with a grand march let by friends of the couple. With the help of Melissa's family, the dance continued with party hats, fun hair-bands and horn blowers, creating a fun & festive celebration.

Jeremy & Melissa, we hope you continue to be "stuck" on each other for a long and happy lifetime together! And when things get rough, buy more tape! (Sounds like crazy advise but, they'll know what we mean!).
Congrats & God Bless,
Brett & Cheryl

Stacy started her wedding day at Salon Bella to get her hair done and then traveled over to Eric Fisher East to do her make-up. Following her make-up and after grabbing a bite for lunch at McAllisters she drove to the church where she met up with her bridesmaids. Stacy did most of her planning online via E-Bay, e-mail and phone to get all the details organized and they fell into place nicely. Online and phone was the best communication with Stacy and Luke to plan their wedding being that they live in Georgia and a lot of Luke's family was from Kentucky. With that being said and when they set their wedding date for May 5th they didn't even think of it being the 133rd Kentucky Derby. Stacy and Luke knew that May 5th was the best date to work out for their wedding, so they made sure they incorporated the Kentucky Derby in the wedding reception. They had the tables labeled with different horses' names that were in the Derby and table #7 ended up being the lucky table, Street Sense! Luke's side of the family stayed posted to how the Kentucky Derby was going throughout the day and kept up on how the horses were doing.

However, the ceremony started at 5:00 and the race started at 5:04. The ceremony was very elegantly performed by Luke's uncle, Dr. Dwight Moody from out of state, and the home church minister at Plymouth Congregational. Stacy used to sing in the Maize High School choir and had kept in touch with the director. She had the whole Maize High School choir sing a few songs in the balcony during the ceremony. Because Stacy has been away to college in Georgia for 8 years her and Luke had grew accustomed to the limestone and old architecture. This is why they chose Plymouth. It was absolutely gorgeous. Stacy and Luke also wanted to make it special for their guests during communion by handing it out themselves to all their friends and family that attended the wedding.

After the wedding Stacy and Luke had rented a trolley to go around to different locations of Wichita to get some urban photos taken as they traveled to the reception which was held at Rolling Hills Country Club. Before being announced at the reception, Jeff was able to grab a few shots of the wedding party on the golf course. Stacy and Luke, with their parents at their side, lined up to have a receiving line as the guests moved from the cocktail hour to the main ball room to start dinner with a salad and garlic bread. The reception consisted of Stacy and Luke getting the chance to say hi to everyone, cake cutting, first dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance and a contest for the longest couple married being over 60 years. The guests sent the couple on their way in their decorated car around 10 p.m.

Thank you Stacy and Luke for allowing us to be the ones that were able to document your special day capturing much laughter, happy tears, hugs and many details that really will tell the story of your day when all the pictures are posted.

We could not let it go unsaid that our hearts and prayers go out to the families from Greensburg, Ks, who lost everything (including their hometown) to the most devastating tornado our State has ever experienced. Despite the severe weather watches, the rain brought only good luck to Jeff and Jessica as they exchanged vows at North Side Christian Church. Brett and I were joined by the newest member of the T&J family, Netanya.

Jeff and Jessica's wedding was definitely a family affair. The day started with Jessica, both of her sisters (who were her matrons of honor) and Melissa (her other bridesmaid) getting ready at the church. They all had their hair done by the hair stylists in the family, including Jessica's Mom. Then, the girls had their make-up done by Jessica's aunt who is a Mary Kay consultant. When Jessica was finally ready, her mom helped her into her gorgeous lace and sequin gown with crystal button back. Of course, her sisters and Melissa had to help get all the buttons fastened. Many of their other family members were also part of the wedding including three of Jessica's nieces who were flower-girls, two nephews who were ring bearers and Jeff's two brothers that were the best-men.

Jessica added her own special touches to her stunning gown by adding a celadon green ribbon at her waist that flowed down the back of her gown. The green ribbon matched the bridesmaids dresses who each wore matching ribbons. Her gold peep toe pumps were a perfect match to her gown. And the final touch was Jessica's rhinestone chandelier earrings that she thought were a little too "glitzy" for her but, were just right. The men wore traditional tuxes with matching green ties. The bouquets and other flowers were done by The Wild Geranium, they were bright and beautiful arrangements of mixed flowers.

Even though Jeff and Jessica are past teaching the ABC's to their students, "B" was definitely the letter of the day. The handmade colorful programs were uniquely designed in a square shape with a "B" on the front and tied with celdon and white ribbons. They had a "B" cutout at the quest-book table and a "B" cake topper.

The church was beautifully decorated with flower arrangements made by Jessica's sister and tons of candles. It took all four of the ushers to light all of the candles before seating the guests. Despite the weather, Jeff and Jessica were blessed with an incredible turnout of guests to witness their emotional and touching exchange of vows. The ceremony was accompanied by the church choir with a wonderful variety of songs. Everything went according to plan except for the antics of the two ring bearers who placed the ring pillows on the tops of their heads during the ceremony. The couple ushered all of the guests out of the church and joined them at the cake reception only after the last guest was greeted. The church reception hall was decorated with the beautiful flower and candle arrangement created by Jessica's sister. Jessica's other sister prepared all of the food, except for the cake which was a delicious five story confection. Jessica's Mom also decorated dozens of miniature candy bars with photos of the couple. One of the most special touches at the reception, were the family photos of both sets of parents and all the grandparents' wedding pictures, and Jessica's Mom's wedding dress.

Brett and Netanya followed the couple across town to the second reception and dance where they were joined by many of their friends and family. Jeff and Tyff were even able to make it after they finished their other wedding.

Jeff & Jessica, it was such a pleasure meeting you both and your families. We were honored to be part of your special day. We wish you all the best!
God bless,
~Cheryl, Brett and Netanya

Yesterday started at 10 a.m. with Jodie and her bridesmaids getting their hair done at The Hair Cutting Co. on Main street in Newton, KS. Following the bridesmaids went with Jodie to Wichita to get their make-up applied inside of Dillard's East. Then they made the trek back to Newton to the church, Faith Mennonite.

When Jodie got back her groom awaited to see her for the first time at the front of the altar. Jodie slipped into her dress and was ready to see Jeff in nothing flat. As Jeff waited he said he is not the nervous type but had trembling fingers as he played with her wedding band that was going to go on her finger. All anxieties slipped away once we cleared the sanctuary for the two of them to see each other. We grabbed some formals after their private time with one another. While taking shots of Jodie at the front of the church Jeff kept saying, "I am the luckiest man alive. Wow!!! You are so beautiful!!!" He was truly blown away by how beautiful she looked, both on the inside and out.

With talking with Jeff and Jodie during the pre-planning stages prior to the wedding they wanted to make sure they got lots of fun shots with the two of them off location. So that's what we did! As they planned their day they allowed us 45 minutes just to spend with them going around to different locations in Newton's downtown area. We were able to grab some really amazing shots by some of the older buildings and captured them just being themselves. We then went back to the church and finished up the group shots with the families.

The ceremony had a peaceful ambiance with light shining through the pastel stain-glass. After the ceremony, Jeff and Jodie ushered all the guests out the pews and the guests stood outside to send them off in a friend's black T-top convertible Camero. The guests greeted them at the 20th Century Club for the reception. Brian with Premier Sound kept everyone dancing all night till the couple left a little after 11 p.m. Throughout the evening Jeff and his buddies had a couple of inside phrases that they would say to one another. One being "Shake and Bake" as they clanked knuckles and another "Good Game!"

Yesterday couldn't have been a prettier day with sunshine, warmth with a slight breeze.

You guys were awesome to work with and it was obvious you are completely crazy for one another. Once you see your pictures we hope we were able to capture the emotions that you had with one another on your wedding day so you may relive your special day. Thanks again! :)

We met the wedding party at Rose Hill United Methodist Church. It was East of town about a mile in the middle of a field. Ashley with her 5 bridesmaids and flower-girl got ready in the parlor. Jay and his groomsmen and ring-bearer, who was also 22, got ready in the library.

Their wedding was the first we had taken that the ring-bearer and flower-girl were grown adults. Trent carried a bright pink pillow and Carlie carried a basket with small daisies. Carlie's ensemble consisted of a black strapless with pick ribbon around her waste and bright pink high heeled shoes along with her hair in pigtails. The bridesmaids wore custom made strapless pink dresses with black ribbon. The flowers were also bright colored pink and white gerber daisies. The bright colors really reflected of how the day progressed.

The ceremony consisted of more guests than the church sanctuary could hold. There were an overflow of guests who watched through the the windows into the sanctuary. Ashley had said that 358 guests RSVP'd. Before heading off to the reception we grabbed some shots of Ashley and Jay in the field out back of the church as the sun was setting.

The reception was held at the Wholesale Fireworks in Andover. The place was packed. The cake was grey, black and pink poke-a-dotted with a big ace card on each side for the groom's cake/sheet cakes. Steve Walsh with Advanced DJ Service kept the crowd entertained as he played music all night long. We will just say that people from the Rose Hill area know how to party and have a good time. We are glad that we were able to document your special day.

Alicia's wedding day started on Saturday April 7th at the salon, Julie Balay, with her four bridesmaids. Following the salon, the ladies all headed over to Clinique counter at Dillard's for makeup. Once the final details were touched up with makeup the ladies finished getting ready at the Broadview Hotel.

The ceremony and reception took place at the close by Garvey Center, where Alicia was escorted down the aisle by her father to the wonderful music of a string quartet. With the lights turn down the room was filled with a warm glow from the decorative lamps hung above the hardwood dance floor. Following the ceremony the couple and guests enjoyed a wonderful dinner by Corporate Caterers. After dinner Alicia was ready to dance wearing her bridal sketcher shoes. The shoes were a very stylish and comfortable way to dance the night away.

Congrats to you both Josh and Alicia, thank you for letting us be a part of your joyous day.
