Jeff and I met up with Lindsay and her eight bridesmaids at Ten O Seven Salon in Hays, KS while they got their hair and makeup done. The address to the salon was 1007 Main St. It was a really cool place and probably one of the most unique salons that we have ever been to. The decor was very unique and fun with art on all of the walls. Lindsay got her hair done on the second level of this neat place. She was all smiles all day and very cool, calm and collected.

Her eight friends that she had chosen to be her bridesmaids all made sure that the day started off right with a warm gift from all of them. Breakfast was provided that consisted of fruit, muffins and bagels. Mimosas was what washed the bellies of all the happy girls. After Lindsay’s hair and was done and her make-up was applied Stephanie from Fat Cat and I headed to the church. Jeff and I shot a wedding last September at the Cathedral of the Plains in Victoria, KS and we got the opportunity to do so again.

The church has such a great history. Even on the wedding day guests were coming in as tourists just stopping in to see what a beautiful church it is. Lindsay’s wedding dress looked very stunning on her. She got it in an Olathe, KS bridal shop, Mia’s Bridal and Tailoring. It was an Essence design with beadwork lining the bodice and ruffles on the skirting along with a corset backing that laced up the back. The ladies all wore an energetic lime that was fun. The groomsmen all wore black tuxes, black shirts with the same lime ties. Shawn wore a black tux, black shirt and a white tie. With bright color stargazing lilies, roses and daisies in the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages it made for a very colorful event throughout. Lindsay and Shawn did decide to see each other beforehand and we were able to get some really cool shots of the two of the them around the church and then start in on the wedding party and then finished up with the families.

The ceremony started with a string quartet playing the wedding melodies as Lindsay’s dad escorted Lindsay down the long aisle to hand off to Shawn. Following the Catholic Mass Lindsay and Shawn were showered with bubbles as they made it through the path of people to a 1964 blue restored Impala. They drove around the block and came back and got into a Trolley with the wedding party as we went to a few different locations including a park with a bridge, Hay’s campus and a place called The Que.

It was then time to get them all to their reception which was held at the Fox Pavilion. The reception started with the DJ announcing the wedding party along with Lindsay and Shawn which is what kicked off their first dance and the parent dances following. Dinner was served after Shawn’s dad gave the blessing. Following was the cake cutting and toasts. After some dancing the garter and bouquet tosses and then the dollar dance.

Thank you guys for allowing us be such a part in your special day. Stay in touch!

Beth’s day started at the Holiday Inn Express in Lawrence, KS, where her bridesmaids and her got there hair and makeup done.

The morning started with Jeff meeting up with Karen, our good friend Karen from Heartland Photography, at the Beth’s hotel room. Karen was helping to cover the wedding as Tyff was sick and unable to make it. Once at the room Karen started documenting the ladies hanging out while Beth was getting her hair done. Jeff started setting getting the details of the dress, shoes and more before heading over Beth’s parents house to document Darrell and the guys getting ready. Beth’s brother made the guys French Toast Bake with blue berry’s for breakfast. The ladies where picked up at the hotel by a white Hummer Limo and headed to the church around 11:00 for Beth to slip into her dress. The couple had a special first viewing which we captured from a distance to not take away from the moment. Beth’s dress was amazing, it was an Anjolique design. The dress was classic and elegant, but had a uniqueness in detail that gave Beth a very distinct look for our special day. Once the tears had stopped after the first sight we worked our way around the church grabbing so amazing shots of the Darrell and Beth.

The ceremony was held at the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Lawrence, KS. The church was wonderful to shoot in with it’s large windows and nice natural light. The ladies all wore aqua blue, strapless, T-length dresses. The guys all wore black tuxes with turquoise tie and vests. Following the ceremony we finished up the group photos and headed with the wedding party over to Potter’s Lake on the KU campus. While on campus we took some fun photos of the wedding party and couple.

The limo arrived at the reception site “Steve’s Place”. The reception was wonderfully decorated with blue and yellow vertical streamers that created a great background and mood. After Beth and Darrell entered the reception and greeted a few guests they made their way over to check out their wedding cake. The cake was beautiful as you can see here.

Darrell’s groomsmen where impressed by the groom’s cake which had a Mario Brothers theme to it. The cake was made in Kansas City and was the first of it’s kind. After dinner the couple proceeded with cake cutting and toasts. The formal dances followed including their first dance and parent dances.

We want to thank you for allowing us to cover your wedding day. Stay in Touch!

Jeff
