Emily and Dan really pulled their wedding day together in 25 hours. For those that aren't family or friends of Emily and Dan are probably asking what do you mean? Well, we got a call from Dan on Thursday about their wedding location was re-located from Bartlett Arboretum in Bell Plaine to The Botanical Gardens in Wichita. With some phone calls to all their vendors and guests really won them a day of relaxation today to be able to relax and have a wonderful time with friends and family to join in on their special day.

Emily and her mom got their hair done at Studio Amp inside of Sola Salons. It was nice to see a previous bride, parents and also a future groom today. While we were at the salon the stylist next to Emily's had a client coming in, Justin. After he showed up both Jeff and I were excited to say that it was the same groom Justin and his bride Cortney that we are photographing in December. One of Emily's bridesmaids, Mary, we photographed her and Kristopher's wedding a year ago July 7. And then Emily's aunt and uncle, who's daughter Julia, we photographed a wedding for June 30, 2006. It is always nice to meet new faces but also is still fun and humbling to run into familiar faces as well.



While at the salon Dan stopped by and pulled Jeff to the side to tell him that he was giving Emily a pair of earrings to her as a surprise and that he had put them in a box in her make-up bag. After Emily finished at the salon she headed home to put her make-up on. When asking her if she wanted that documented she first said no, that is okay. We told her that if we could just document a couple of shots then we would head on to Botanica. She progressed to put on her make-up and saw the box and couldn't believe her eyes that the earrings were real. Then it all made since why we insisted to come over for a few shots.



Emily's colors were chocolate brown with blush light pink. Emily's dress was a Christina Wu blush pink strapless. She looked absolutely stunning standing beside Dan in a brown stripped tux with pink vest.

The couple's ceremony was very gorgeous with the water fountain in the background. During the ceremony both Emily and Dan wanted to express to one another that they are willing to be servants to each other during their marriage. They expressed this by washing each other feet.



After the ceremony the guests went into the air-conditioning building at Botanica for the reception. After eating some dinner Emily and Dan had a chance to go around to all the tables greeting and thanking all their guests for coming to their celebration. We were able to grab some shots before leaving of Emily and Dan at sunset on the near by golf course, Sim Park.
