Last weekend we traveled to Lincolnville, KS to document Sara and Randy's wedding day. We started at Sara's parents country home. The house was an older farmstead that had been in Sara's family since it was built over 100 years ago. The beautiful two story had the tall skinny windows and doorways which made for really pretty backdrop as Sara got ready. She started with her hair and her bridesmaids hanging out and also getting their hair done in the dining area. Sara found her dress at David's Bridal. She said that it was her 3rd one she tried on and knew it was the one for her. It was an ivory taffeta A-line with beaded shirred bodice with a chapel length train. It looked absolutely stunning on Sara and it fit her like a glove. Before the ceremony began we were able to grab some photos of Sara out and around the farm house by some of the out buildings and by her dad's antique 1946 restored blue Chevrolet pickup. The ceremony began without a hitch despite the wind. The ceremony location that Sara and Randy chose was out of most of the wind because of trees that surrounded it. The ceremony was very peaceful with a stream that ran behind the tree bark arbor. The guests were seated on boards that laid across straw hay bales. At the end of each row Sara's dad had welded together a metal rod to rail road spikes to hang a ball of maroon flowers from.











The bridesmaids all wore chocolate brown dresses that were different styles. The flowers were all fall-like colors using the dark reds and creams. Randy couldn't help but cry with happy tears as he saw his beautiful bride walking down the path with her dad to give her away to her groom. As the ceremony ended and Randy and Sara walked back down the path, the DJ played the theme song to "Batman", fitting with their new last name! Then guests lined up to greet Sara, Randy, wedding party and the families as they walked to their cars to head to the reception. Afterwards we took family and wedding party pictures, as well as jsut Sara and Randy. Then it was time to go to the reception. Sara's dad drove them as they sat in the back of the '46 Chevrolet truck, peaking out to 45 mph, through Lincolnville to the Community building.



The reception was decorated with wheat that Sara and her mom had picked for the center pieces and candles which made for an illuminating atmosphere. The wedding cake was in the shape of a stump of a tree with a heart and their names carved in the frosting! The groom's cake? Yep- you guessed it- white cake with the Batman symbol on it. The reception was started with a photo montage of Sara and Randy growing up. Then the party rolled on into dinner, cake cutting, toasts, and the formal dances. Sara and Randy danced to "Lost in This Moment" by Big and Rich. It was a miracle that Jeff was able help out the DJ by playing the song from his IPhone with the DJ's microphone held up to it. The rest of the evening was filled with people gathering and having a good time.



Sara and Randy, thank you for allowing us to be part of your special day. I, Tyff, felt in my element being on a farm! Reminded me of my growing up years living in the country in a 100+ year old house and then doing what I love, taking pictures, it was GREAT!!! You guys are such a sweet couple and we wish you many years of laughter and happiness. When you come to Valley Center to visit family please stop by and visit us, too.
