Jeff and I along with "The Cats" (Fat Cat Productions) were on the road to Colorado for a wedding this last Labor Day weekend. We had a blast! We all got to have the great opportunity to work with a sweet couple, Candace and Marcus. Being in a more foreign place we checked out the church, First Evangelical Lutheran, Friday during the rehearsal which was in Longmont, CO.

Saturday Stephanie with FCP, and I drove to Anthony's Salon in Denver, CO where Candace and her six bridesmaids got their hair done. Then we went to the Chateaux At Fox Meadows in Broomfield, CO where the ladies met us, as well as the guys to finish getting ready. Barry with FCP, and Jeff documented the guys as they got ready while Stephanie and I were with the bridesmaids. The guys wore black tuxes with red ties. Candace's colors' were chosen to resemble fall which she definitely accomplished. The bridesmaids dresses were hand-stitched by the mother of the bride. This made it a little tricky when it came to sizing and fittings for most of the girls, as many lived out of state. They did all the fittings by mail and then mailed them back to finish up the last details of all the dresses. They were swirled stripes of red, tan and black. Candace handed gifts out to all the girls in the brides room which were heart shaped jewelry boxes with matching necklaces for the ladies to wear on the wedding day.

Candace's dress was white with lots of beadwork and embroidery and a long train. Once Candace and her bridesmaids were all dressed and ready to go, the bridesmaids delivered a gift to Marcus waiting at the foot of the grand staircase. Inside of the gift there was an engagement photo of them together along with a CD player that all Marcus had to do was hit play and his beautiful bride started her way down the staircase. They both were filled with excitement and happy tears as this was the first they saw of each other on their special day. After taking them around the Chateaux and getting some awesome shots and then doing some family shots it was time to make it back to the church in time for guests to start arriving for the ceremony. The pastor who performed the service was a roommate with Marcus while at KU. This made it extra special for the couple as he knew the couple on a different level other than just a pastor but as a friend to the family, too. After the ceremony guests headed over to the Chateaux for Hor d'Oevres.

Jeff and I finished with family pics at the front of the church before Candace and Marcus were chaperoned to the Chatueax in a 1930's Model Ford. Candace and Marcus had timed it to where as soon as the guests finished Hor d'Oevres they were to go outside with noise shakers and wait for them to pull up out front on the circle drive of the Chateaux. They had a dove release as soon as they got out of the car where they each released one dove and kissed. Following that they released 12 more and then another 12 more in remembrance of guests who weren't able to be there. It was the most gorgeous and elegant thing we have seen a bride and groom ever do. I had always heard of it but it just isn't heard of doing much around here. Two thumbs up guys- great idea! After taking a big large group shot of ALL the guests in front of the Chateaux the guests went inside as Candace and Marcus hung around for some more pics outside before they were introduced with the wedding party down the grand staircase. Following that they had barbeque buffet dinner with hot links, pulled pork and turkey, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, and baked cinnamon apples. Can you say "mmmm good!" After dinner they mingled with their guests and then cut their cake which was 9 separate layers on its own pedestal. Shaved chocolate, raspberries and fall leaves gave aura that made for a very beautiful fall looking cake. They then started right into their first dance which was "I'll Always Be Right There" by Brian Adams. Followed was the parents dances where Candace danced with her father and Marcus with his mother. This then opened up the dance floor for guests to enjoy. Later was the bouquet and garter toss and then the money dance.

Jeff and I want to thank Steph and Barry for referring Candace our direction for us to have such a blast documenting Candace and Marcus on their special day together. Also thank you Candace and Marcus for hiring us as your photographers. We had such a fun time and everybody was so nice and welcomed us in and we felt part of the family. If you are ever in the Wichita area you will definitely have to stop in and say hi! And for those that ever go to Denver we highly recommend the Omni Interlocken Resort that we stayed at for our hotel. It was beautiful and had the absolute BEST hospitality EVER that we had experienced!

eXtreme Session!!!!!!
On Sunday we got up close to sunrise and headed to Estes Park and did an eXtreme session with Candace and Marcus in the Rocky Mountain National Park. What beautiful backdrops for photos and video. In all we had a good time and captured some amazing stuff. Meadows with mountains in the background, water falls, aspen trees, and 11,796 ft. at the top where the visitors center was located allowed for many great photo opts. Candace and Marcus were quite the troopers and were patient with us as we Kansan folk aren't used to the altitude. It was all worth it!

Thanks guys- you guys ROCK!

Jeff and I started at the salon on Friday Morning (8.8.08) in Hesston at The Cut Above. Morgan with her sisters got ready there as the rest of the girls got their hair done at Hair Designs just a couple blocks away. Brooke, from the Mac Counter, was also at The Cut Above to apply Mac products as make-up for all the girls. Brooke did the make-up for our models in May for the KeepNITFresh Workshop. She does a great job and all the girls looked fabulous. After the salon the girls all headed to the Mennonite Church on the Hesston Campus. Morgan was one of the laid back brides ever but excited and enjoyed her day to its fullest. When she was checking out the sanctuary she saw Luke and said, "Hi how's it going?" I couldn't believe it I was baffled because most brides want to make sure they don't see each other till they have on the dress on the day of their wedding. She said the more she sees him on the wedding day the better. I thought, "What a great attitude!" Her and the ladies got ready in the Nursery. Morgan's dress was a diamond white in color and she found the design at Madeline's in Emporia, KS. It had lots of beadwork along the bodice and on the train. Morgan and Luke had decided to take all pictures beforehand and so we made sure we cleared the sanctuary so they could have their private moment and we documented from a distance. We were able to go outside for some pics of the two of them as well as the wedding party.





The ceremony was an evening wedding that started at 7:30. When the ceremony started guests were seated from the outside in so they didn't go down the center aisle where a cloth white runner and orange rose petals were scattered on the sides. Morgan and Luke's wedding colors were orange and midnight blue. The bridesmaids all wore knee length midnight blue dresses with a sash that went around the waist and tied in the back.





After the ceremony guests gathered outside with bubbles to blow as Morgan and Luke made it to the freshly decorated vehicle that the wedding party all climbed into to head to the reception. The reception was held at the Sand Creek Station in Newton on the golf course. With the sun down we were able to still grab some pics of the couple on the course just before we lost too much light. They had 2 tents as well as an air conditioned building for guests to mingle. As soon as Morgan and Luke were introduced into their party by Scott Ward with Accent Mobile Music they went ahead and ate dinner. After dinner they cut their cake. I remember when I asked Luke if he was going to be nice he said "Yes, I can be nice but doesn't mean I will." And that they weren't but had fun with it. After people were finished with dinner they all headed outside because it was an absolutely gorgeous weather where they continued with the festivities. The toasts were done by the best man, maid of honor, and father of the bride. The garter and bouquet followed and then Morgan and Luke's first dance and parent dances. Later they did the money dance and Karaoke began. Karaoke was kicked off by some of Luke's friends singing to him out in the middle of the dance floor. It was quite comical and Luke was a very good sport.

Jeff and I started Saturday at the House of Hair Salon in Delano District downtown Wichita where the four bridesmaids and mothers got their hair done. Kimberly got her hair done first with another and then headed to Beau Monde for make-up. We had been just their a week ago and everyone welcomed us back and are all very nice there. At this time Kimberly had her hair and make-up done, now time to get to the church to finish getting ready in the Rectory which was located behind the church, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Kimberly's wedding started at 2:00 and there was already a Quincineta at 9 in the morning and another wedding at 11:00. Jeff was able to take the guys outside at noon and get some shots out front of the church and then from 1:00-1:30 take some shots of Kimberly and the ladies. The ladies all got dressed wearing chocolate floor length taffeta dresses with a toupe ribbon that tied at the waist and matching high heeled shoes. The flowers were done by a friend of Justin and Kimberly which consisted of pale pink roses. The corsages were the most beautiful color of mauve orchids. Kimberly's dress was made from the dress designer Anjolique. I had never seen a dress fastened, zipped and buttoned as this one. Her mom helped her get in her dress starting with the corset then zipped it up the back and then there were buttons that were fastened by a crochet hook.







During the ceremony Jeff documented the wedding party as they came down the long aisle and as soon as the last bridesmaid and groomsmen reached the altar it was time for him to see Kimberly for the first time that day looking absolutely stunning. I can remember as soon as he saw her he took a deep breath of excitement and did a long blink in amazement. Kimberly's dad ushered her down the aisle and handed her to Justin. One event that they will remember as "a memory" was when father was talking and the power went out making the church go darker and his microphone went dead. After going back and flipping a breaker he came back to finish performing the ceremony.





After the ceremony guests grabbed a container of bubbles and lined up on the stairs as Kimberly and Justin made it to the Expedition limo. They drove around the block and then came back to finish up pictures at the church with family and wedding party.



With the reception not starting till 5:00 and they didn't want to arrive till 5:30 this gave us a good amount of time to spend with them do to outdoor photos. It was very hot out, but everybody was very good sports. Close by was the Broadview Hotel who were very generous for us to take some pictures inside their lobby as the wedding party cooled off. With plenty of time to spare Jeff and I headed on to the reception in Andover at the Ville inside St. Vincent de Paul.





We arrived at 5:00 allowing us time to get lots of great details that Kimberly had on the tables. The center pieces consisted of hour glass vases with chocolate and gold decorative balls inside, vases with gold glittery twigs, and vases with pearls and white roses floating. They also had a small box of chocolates tied with a brown ribbon with the letter "F" attached to it. They also had for their guests a CD of music that was special to them for them to take with them. The cake was all white with ribbon between each layer. Instead of a groom's cake they had cookies and then also some cupcakes.





When they arrived the wedding party was announced down the grand staircase and then a slideshow of Kimberly and Justin played before they were introduced as husband and wife. They grabbed a bite to eat and then mingled with guests. Then they cut their cake and the best man gave a forever long speech followed was one from the maid of honor. The first dance they had taken dancing lessons to dance the rumba to "This Year's Love" by David Gray. Kimberly then her father danced followed by Justin and his mother. During the bouquet toss Kimberly tossed off the grand stair case for the ladies to fight for. Then they did the garter toss and after a few songs the dollar dance.



We want to thank you both for allowing us to document your day.
