We met up with Tara and Jason along with the wedding party at St. Anthony's Catholic Church. When Tara arrived she did her hair and a few touch ups to her make-up and then she was ready to get into her dress. It was very simple but elegant with a veil that was floor length. The bridesmaids dresses were black and there was a different design for each girl. The flowers were three shades of pink roses clutched in a bouquet. The guys wore black tuxes and pink vests and ties. Tara and Jason had chose not to see each other before-hand and so we were able to grab a few before guests started to arrive. The ceremony started at 12:30 and was very unique and rare. It was a Latin Mass and lasted till a little after 2:00. A Latin Mass hadn't been done in the Wichita Diocese for over 40 years so it was definitely a treat. Bishop Conley performed the service. He had just been to our studio to do some headshots because he is moving to Colorado and they needed a photo of him to go in each of the Catholic Schools in CO. Tara and Jason are probably one of the last weddings in Kansas that he did before leaving in May. Even though the wedding was longer, it had it uniqueness about it.





Following the mass the family all came to the front for pictures with Tara and Jason. After wrapping up the photos at the church we had some time to spare to go around and get some shots of Tara and Jason before heading to the reception. The reception was in Haysville at The Studio. They had it decorated very nicely. The caterers were Ray's Countryside Catering. The DJ was Steve Walsh with Advanced DJ. The wedding cake was a white, three tiered cake with a silver iced ribbon that went around it resembling a package. The groom's cake said PING for golf. As soon as they arrived they cut their cake and ate dinner. After dinner they watched a slide show and did the toasts. Both Tara's and Jason's father spoke congratulating them and how proud of them they were. When Tara's father spoke he brought up different Veterans who have served in the war or those that are still over in Iraq. It was a very touching moment for both families as lots of the people in the crowd either had someone who is over there now or have already been. Tara and Jason then started off the dancing with the Grand March which ended with them dancing their first dance as husband and wife with a circle of friends and family around them. They danced to "I Cross My Heart" by George Straight. Then they had the parents dances with Tara dancing with her dad and Jason dancing with his mom. The night was filled with lots of fun filled moments.



We hope you guys have a blast in St. Thomas. You guys were great to work with and we got lots of pictures. Stay in Touch!

Jeff and I met up with the ladies on a very nice beautiful morning 8 a.m. at the W-Salon Group (former Wilbern Salon). Leah is a stylist there and they are remodeling the place. The ladies all had the salon to themselves. With three stylists doing all the ladies hair they were done in no time. Leah did her mom's hair after her's was finished. About 10:30 the guys started to arrive at the church all ready and dressed in their tuxes for pictures. As Jeff was taking pictures I was over in the Parish where the ladies finished getting ready putting on their dresses and applying make-up. One of Leah's friends she met while living in Colorado came from Nashville, TN to be a part of Leah's wedding and did Leah's make-up. Leah received a gift from Brad when she arrived at the church. It was a tiny little box with diamond earrings inside. She was impressed he took note when she mentioned in a passing conversation that "It sure would be nice to have a new pair of diamond earrings to wear for the wedding day". (Two thumbs up Brad, Good Job!)





Leah's dress was a Maggie Sottero with a sweetheart neckline, sweep train and laced up the back. After a tough decision to what pair of shoes to wear she chose white with pink polka dot high heels. They were adorable and fun to go with Leah's personality. The ladies wore fuschia tapered T-Length dresses with V-Neck and back lines with silver high heels. Leah's flowers were white Lillies and Stephanotis with green grass stems as filler. The bridesmaids carried a single long stem white lilly with the stem braided with navy ribbon. The guys all wore black tuxes with navy blue vests and ties.





Leah and Brad had decided not to see each other beforehand so we got as many pictures done as possible. The ceremony was held at St. Jude Catholic Church. It was a very pretty mass and I was glad where I was able to position myself so I could get some good facial expressions. Afterwards we finished up with pictures at the church and then followed Leah and Brad to a new housing development where they wanted some pictures along the lake in the sand. We are so glad we went, we were able to get some really amazing shots.





We then headed back to the church where the reception was held. Ron Brown with Another Dimension was the DJ and he announced them into the room. They started right into dinner which was catered by Corporate Caterers. It was good food as always. They then had the toasts started by the Maid of Honor Kate, sister to Brad, and Best Man, one of Brad's friends. They had a wedding cake and different types of brownies to serve as dessert. They then danced to Etta James' "At Last" for their first dance as husband and wife. Everyone seemed to have a good time.



Thank you guys for having us as your photographers to document on your special day. We hope you have a blast in Mexico on your honeymoon.

Stay in Touch,

Tyff and Jeff

Jeff and I started at The Platinum Salon 8 a.m. where Jessica along with some of her bridesmaids and mother got their hair done. When arriving, Jessica was surprised to see Stephanie with Fat Cat Productions (FCP) there to document. At the time of booking FCP she didn't have salon coverage in her package. As Janet, Jessica's mother, knew it was very important for her so she made it a surprise to her daughter and paid a little extra. Janet also made sure breakfast was there that she made- breakfast casserole. A previous bride, from the Close-Wilbert wedding last July, was the make-up artist for the ladies. As people finished or were waiting to get their hair done Melissa applied make-up. Jace, Melissa's husband, is a cousin to Jessica. While the ladies were all preparing, Jeff and Barry were back at the church as the guys got ready. With an early start to the day the guys got their pictures done first.



Jessica had a beautiful up do with rhinestone barrette that was placed just above where the veil went in the back. After all the ladies had up do's they headed over to St. Francis of Assisi where the ceremony would later take place and where the ladies finished getting ready. Jessica's dress was strapless with lots of beadwork on the bodice to the hips and sprinkled the train. There was diamond shaped jewels on it- one was in the back and one in the front where the satin swooped around on the hips. The bridesmaids wore black fitted floor length skirts with a lace bodice.



The shoes for all the ladies were all specially picked. Jessica had seen on our website one of the photos Jeff took while in California of a bride that wore red shoes. After seeing those photos she said that she had to do the same for her wedding day. Not only did she make sure she had red shoes but all her bridesmaids wore red shoes also. The two little flower girls wore red sparkling slippers as well. The guys all wore black tuxes with red ties and vests. All the fresh flowers were arranged by Jessica's mom. They were all done in deep reds with a hint of orange and yellow.



Jessica was very excited all morning and described how excited she was that the day was finally here and that she was getting married!!! She couldn't wait to see Andy. They had chosen to see each other for the first time before the ceremony so they get all the pictures done beforehand. They both were filled with excitement and joy. Andy even told Jessica's dad before Jessica came and tapped him on his shoulder that he was a "tiny bit" nervous. It almost always brings me to happy tears when I see our couples see each other. It is also very rewarding to know the memories we capture and it is a privilege to document. After their first viewing we took them around the church and outside for some shots before coming back to the sanctuary to finish up the group shots.



The ceremony began at 1:00 with the groomsmen ushering in the bridesmaids, 2 flower girls following, then Jessica and her dad. It was a traditional Catholic wedding with a mass. The bride's father Gino shared the readings and a string quartet performed along with the organist. After the ceremony, the wedding party along with Jeff, Steph with FCP and myself hopped onto the trolley and it took us to Sedgwick Co. Park where we were able to get some shots of Jessica and Andy with the wedding party and some more shots of just the two of them.







We then headed back to the church where the reception was being held in the hall. The room was very well decorated by Janet, Jessica's mom, and Audra, Jessica's sister, who also helped. All the tables had beautiful arrangements of flowers and the family tables had unique lamps on them. The burgundy lamps were battery operated and the pedestal to it was a glass vase with more flowers and fish swimming in them. Chocolate Cascades was there to run the chocolate fountain and they also had a snack bar that consisted of chex mix, cheesy puff balls and gold fish crackers. Steve Walsh was the DJ who did a great job keeping people out on the dance floor.



A surprise to Jessica's parents was a gift that was a shadow box with their wedding memorabilia, for it was their wedding anniversary on the same day.





Jessica and Andy are going to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for their honeymoon. Take lots of photos and we would love to have you share some with us when you get back. You guys are a great couple and we had fun documenting your special day. Remember to stay in touch! One of the many comments from Jessica on her wedding day was, "Why only wear the dress once?" One good reason to wear it again would be an extreme session! :) Just a thought.

Ashley and Ivan... Fun! Loving! Caring! These three qualities really sums up a lot of who Ashley and Ivan are as people and so much more. You probably have seen or heard of "The Green Buses" in town that say Unified Party Bus on them. That is the creation and successful business that Ivan started. Ashley is probably the most kindest girls you will ever meet. She does some missionary work in Africa. In fact Ivan had to make Ashley's proposal very memorable. While Ashley was over in Africa she got a surprise visit from Ivan. She said she was very surprised to see him but still had no clue the reason for him to fly half-way around the world to see her was to ask her to marry him. It was perfect! Ivan and Ashley wanted their wedding day to be very unique in many different ways. One of which was they were the first to have a reception on the top of the Gander Mountain Parking Garage in a white tent.









Friday Jeff, Alex and I started at the salon. Ashley, along with friends and family, arrived by a white stretched limo at Planet Hair Salon to get their hair done. Then the ladies all hopped back into the limo and went to Westlink Christian Church where they did last details to make-up and put on their dresses. Ashley's dress, as she described, was simple. Evan though it was simple it was very elegant and timeless. The dress was ivory in color with an organza A-line and ribbon detail. Ashley wore a spray of pearls in her hair that her mother made for her. The girls all wore mis-matched styles that all were tea-length and chocolate mocha. The girls all looked very pretty.




Ivan and Ashley had chosen to see each other before the wedding and get all the pictures done beforehand. Ashley was very excited to see Ivan. At the time they had their private moment with one another Ivan had a surprise gift to give to Ashley. It was a ring. Not her wedding ring but another ring for her to wear to remember this special day by. As we were finishing up the group shots we get a phone call from Brett asking if he could come help. So not only did we have Alex and ourselves, now there were 4 of us documenting from different angles. Brett was also able to go over to the tent at the reception location and grab some detailed shots of the tent before guests arrived.





The ceremony was very beautiful with candles lit and dimmed lights giving a very warm atmosphere. The sanctuary was very full. As guests came in to be seated they walked by a "M" (for Moore) monogram made out of white and yellow rose petals. The unity candle was "handmade" by Ashley and Ivan. It was a bright pink mold of their hands formed together to make a heart shape.



After the wedding Ivan's dad drove up to the church in one of the flat nose green Party Buses. As Ashley and Ivan came out of the church handfuls of rose petals rained over them. Jeff and Alex hopped on the bus and documented the excitement and celebration. They went over to the Hyatt Regency where they were able to grab a few pics and then as the wedding party rode over on the bus to the reception, a golf cart was delivered and Ivan, Ashley, Jeff and Alex hopped on to arrive at the reception.



The tent was packed with only standing room left for guests to cheer as Ivan gave Ashley a piggy back ride into their reception. Ivan had his green and brown cowboy boots on and Ashley had bright green slippers on. They went through the sea of people and made it to the cake table where they shared their first desert together as husband and wife. Lets just say they got each other pretty good with frosting. The wedding cake was very unique using chocolate colors and green. The groom's cake was the round logo of The Unified Party Bus. After the cake were the toasts and shortly afterf were the formal dances with the two of them together and then the parent dances.



Ivan made the dance with his mom special, as during the middle of the song they broke out and sang together a song that was special to them.



Some of the best vendors that we enjoy to work with were there. The dinner was served buffet style by Corporate Caterers that lined both ends of the tent and a bar in 2 corners. Tinley's crew with Jubilations did a great job decorating and making sure everything went smoothly. The whole AMM crew was there for the entertainment.






The night went on with guests mingling and dancing having a great time. Lets just say the whole top of parking garage was bouncing with everyone dancing (literally). We had a great time and please both of you stay in touch!

Tyff, Jeff, Alex and Brett

We had the great opportunity to work with a past client of ours. We had done Ashlae's senior pictures a few years back and then about a year and half ago she contacted us to do her wedding.







The ladies all started at Beauty First for hair. It was a nice surprise to see another past client of ours when we arrived and saw who was going to Ashlae's hair. We had done a progressive session with Laura not to long ago with Taryn. So that was cool. Ashlae also got her make-up done there as well. Jeff and I left from the salon and headed over to the Grand Chapel and got some details of the dress, shoes and jewelry before both Ashlae and Steven got there. As soon as Ashlae arrived she was very excited and very pleased with how everything was decorated. With the reception also there she went downstairs to see the cake which was very nicely decorated. Then it was time for her to start getting ready. She helped her sisters put on make-up and their dresses before she was assisted by her mom and bridesmaids to get into her dress. With her dress being a zip she was through the tunnel of tulle, jewelry and shoes on in no time. Her dress was very beautiful with a satin cuffed bodice and full tulle skirt embellished with sparkling beads with a chapel train. She had found and picked it out at David's Bridal. The four bridesmaids all wore an azalea in color spaghetti strap long chiffon dress with beaded empire waist. The flowers arranged by Stems using very vibrant array of pink and white gerber daisies. Greenery and pale pink roses were used as filler. Ashlae had the same but with the most beautiful pink stargazer lilies. The two flower girls looked adorable with tulle to resemble Ashlae. They carried little white satin baskets filled with pink rose petals. The ring bearer looked as cute as can be in his little tux. The men all looked very stunning wearing black tuxes and pink ties.





The ceremony began at 6:00. The light coming in through the sanctuary was a perfect illuminate atmosphere. Steven's eyes were on his bride the whole time as she came down the aisle smiling ear to ear.



After the ceremony we did pictures of the families and then wrapped it up with pictures of them. Around 7:30 Ron Brown with Another Dimension announced them into their reception. Ashlae and Steven had a bite to eat then followed with the traditional cake cutting, toasts and first dances. Their first dance was "Me and You" by Kenny Chesney. They also had a money dance where everyone came up and danced with them and got to congratulate them as husband and wife. When Ashlae and Steven left they had a limo awaiting them. As coming out of the chapel they were directed to go first to see their decorated car which brothers helped out in. Powder, vaseline, tulle, pink rose stuck to the front of the car and more...



We want to congratulate you guys on your life together and wish you many years of happiness.

Stay in touch,

Tyff and Jeff
