Melissa and Brian have been great to work with since the day we met them when they came in to meet us. We knew from the start we would hit it off. They wanted to be different and do lots of things out of the ordinary. Starting with the engagement shoot we took them to a laundry mat (which we have done with one other couple). Melissa was wearing red shoes and it fit in really well putting her in one of the laundry cart/baskets. They were really good sports. People in the laundry mat gave us some weird looks and I think we made the owner a little nervous. But it was cool and we got our shots.

On the wedding day Jeff and I met Melissa with her friends, sisters, mom and grandma at Happiness Plaza Salon where they got their hair done at. All the ladies hair was as Mel described it Victorian with a modern twist. She carried the theme throughout using peacock feathers in their hair and wearing black chic dresses. Mel's dress was made from English netting with the most beautiful beadwork, antique gold in color with a V-neck. Christina Wu wedding dresses are known as having a timeless style and elegant look. Mel looked absolutely stunning and fit with the theme and right in where they got married, The Scottish Rite (very victorian and elegant). After the ladies had all their hair done we all headed over to the Scottish Rite where the ladies finished getting ready. One of Mel's friends did Mel's make-up in the brides room.

When it was time for Mel to get in her dress the ladies were all ready and helped her. Her mom and grandma assisted. Since Melissa and Brian had decided not to see each other we took Melissa and the ladies all around the facility and got some really killer shots. When it was time to start the ceremony guests were lined outside the Scottish Rite and down the sidewalks waiting their turn to be seated in their assigned seat and table. Guests filled the room as both sets of parents came down the grand staircase in the ballroom. Brian looked very handsome as he had a suit fitted to fit. Brian saw his bride for the first time that day as she came down the stairs and greeted him at the landing where the parents gave their children away to be married.

The ceremony was done by a friend from college and was very short and sweet. After the ceremony we proceeded to get more shots of family and finished with the two of them taking them all around the gorgeous place. When we finished they grabbed a bite to eat which was catered by Blue Moon which consisted of salad, beef, grilled chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes and bread. Following they were announced down the grand stair case to enter their reception and start their dance. Blue Eyed Soul was the band that played instead of having a DJ. They were really good! Definitely would recommend them. They played as Melissa and Brian danced their first dance as husband and wife. Then they had the parent's dances where Melissa and Brian danced with each of the parents. After that they cut their cake and toasts followed by friends. Guests all mingled and had a great time. Melissa and Brian had hired a a guy to run a photo booth which was really fun to watch and capture as people would pile in to get some fun pics.

We want to thank you Mel and Brian for having us document your special day. We had a blast and you both along with both families made us feel very welcome. You all were great and we hope you stay in touch.

Tyff and Jeff

Saturday, September 13th Jeff and I met up with Melissa and her two bridesmaids, good friend who would be a candle lighter later in the day, flowergirl and mother at Planet Hair Salon in downtown Wichita to get their hair done. Jeff stayed for a bit with me then headed over to the church where the guys got ready and took some pictures before the ladies arrived. Before Melissa left to head over to the Broadview hotel she got her make-up done which was quite a treat because Melissa had never had someone do her make-up for her before. The ladies all looked very nice. The bridesmaids had side pony-tails curled and so did the flowergirl. Melissa's mom had her done in a french twist which was also a treat for her since she said she had never had her hair done and up before. Then it was time for the ladies to go and finish getting ready a The Broadview. Melissa's dress was a strapless chiffon with some beadwork and se quince throughout and laced up the back with a sweep train. The ladies all wore fuschia strapless chiffon material dresses that also laced up the back. I liked the bottom of the skirt where they were T-length but acemetrical. A limo arrived and picked up the ladies to take them on to the church where we did some pics before the ceremony.

Melissa and Colt had decided not to see each other beforehand. Colt was all smiles as Melissa's dad escorted her down the aisle to her groom. After the ceremony they circled through a tunnel of people blowing bubbles and back into the church for some more pictures. Family pictures went fairly quick and then we took them outside around the church and got some outdoor shots. It sprinkled a bit but wasn't bad at all. As everyone says, "It is good luck if it rains sometime on your wedding day."

This didn't let them get in the way of having a good time. We followed the limo downtown to a few shots we did with the wedding party and then go them onto their reception which was held at the Broadview Hotel Ball Room. George with Complete Music performed as the DJ all night and announced them into their party when they entered the ball room. Dinner followed then toasts and cake cutting. The first dances were where Colt and Melissa got to dance their first dance together as husband and wife to Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven". Then Melissa danced with her dad and following was Colt with his mom. This kicked off the dance floor for everyone to join in and do some DJ dances such as snow ball, the chicken dance and more. Later the bouquet and garter was tossed along with the dollar dance.

Melissa and Colt we want to thank you for allowing us be part of your special day. We hope you have fun in Cancun.
