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.
