The marriage of Patrick and Carolyn took place on Saturday, August 20, 2007
at Eastminister Chruch. For Carolyn, the day began early with the arrival of
the hair stylist at her parent’s home. Carolyn, several of the girls,
Carolyn’s brothers and father all had their hair done in preparation of the
wedding. Once all the ladies arrived at the house and were ready, the White
Unified Party Bus showed up and took them all to the church where they would
get into their dresses. Carolyn’s dress was a really beautiful strapless
white dress that she found in Texas. The dress was a zip up the back with
buttons that laid over the zipper. Carolyn’s sister and mother helped button
up her dress using a crochet needle. The eight bridesmaids wore chocolate
brown strapless taffeta Tea-Length dresses with silver high heels.
After the bus left the ladies at the church, it was off to Wichita Country
Club to pick up the guys and bring them to the church to get ready.
Once Carolyn and Patrick were ready, the sanctuary was cleared and the
couple saw each other for the first time in their wedding attire. After a
few moments together we began with photographs of them in front of the large
stained glass window. We were then joined by the rest of the bridal party
and then family members for the group photos.
The ceremony was a beautiful event. The officiant was Reverend Dr. Steven
Marsh, who after a brief sermon, witnessed the statement of vows and the
exchange of rings. Following the exchange of rings, the couple lit the unity
candle while soloist Kelsey Emery sang Ave Maria. After the final blessing
the couple was pronounced husband and wife, kissed and exited the sanctuary.
As the couple exited the church to go to the reception they were greeted by
handfuls of lavender tossed by all the guests.
Once back aboard the bus, the bridal party headed to the Wichita Country
Club. Once there we commandeered several golf carts and took the entire
wedding party out on the course for some photos at sunset. We then finished
up with a few photos of Patrick and Carolyn together on one of the many
bridges around the course.
Then it was time for the reception. As the guests gathered around, the
couple was formally announced into the reception and proceeded to the cake
table to cut the cake and toast each other. Then it was time for dinner. As
dinner was being eaten, we gave Carolyn’s mom and dad an ipod with a slide
show from Carolyn’s bridal session on it, for them to share with friends and
family.
Once dinner was done, the couple made their way to the dance floor where
Patrick’s dad’s band performed, and the couple had their first dance,
followed by the parents dance. One of the things that was important to
Patrick to have at the reception was a Funnel Cake trailer. The Funnel Cake
trailer was hired so that guests were able to go and pick out their very own
funnel cake made fresh and they were able to put whatever toppings on it
they wanted. As guests left, they were given small jars of honey along with
accent plates. The rest of the evening was spent dancing to the great music
provided by the live band with Patrick’s dad playing the guitar and enjoying
the company of friends and family.
Thank you so much to Patrick, Carolyn and their families for making this
such a wonderful event to be a part of. We all had a great time and wish you
many happy years together.
sincerely

Last Thursday, August 16th we were in the Wichita Eagle for our signature session that we offer, The Extreme Session. Denise, editor for the Eagle, contacted us because she had seen that we had submitted some of our work to www.trashthedress.com. We know there is some controversy out there about “trashing” a wedding dress. We came up with the eXtreme session in April 2006.
We originally were doing a promo video created by Fat Cat Productions to show people how we work with a bride and groom. This however, turned into quite a different session- the eXtreme session.™ We work and talk with our couples before doing the sessions to see where they want to go, to what extent they wish to ‘trash the dress’ and what their definition of ‘eXtreme’ really is. One couple we did the session for earlier this summer didn’t get the photos she wanted on her wedding day from the photographer that she hired. They got in their wedding day attire again and we went to local parks and got some romantic shots. Afterwards they were up for running through the fountains in Old Town. So this being said, not every Extreme session has to be rolling in sand, mud, dirt and grime or swimming in a wedding dress and tux.
This last Monday we had the honor to meet an absolutely fun and spontaneous couple, Stephanie and Cameron. They had gotten married in Cozumel, Mexico three weeks ago and Stephanie had found us featured on www.trashthedress.com back in May of this year. She e-mailed us once she got back from Mexico to tell us she wanted to do one of our Extreme sessions that we offer with Fat Cat Productions. When asking her what she wanted to do she said that we had free reign to do as we wished and be the artists. The only speculation she had was she didn’t want her dress ripped, set on fire, cut with scissors or stained with paint. We had an absolute blast!!!! We are really excited about our upcoming bookings of the Extreme session with a bride in Kansas City in January who is praying for snow to do her session in and then another bride in Colorado who is excited to get some shots in the mountains and area waterfalls.
These sessions can be made your own and however extreme you make them, simple or full blown trashing. For those that don’t understand why a bride would want to go under water or sit in dirt in her wedding dress, it is said that it is a commitment to her husband, not the dress, and that there is no reason to wear the dress ever again. Truthfully, in all the sessions that we have done amazingly enough haven’t gotten too dirty! Dry cleaners do work wonders and you will want to clean the dress prior to the final preservation anyhow. Sessions can be done with just the bride or with the bride and groom. Call us today to book your extreme session!

I know what everyone is thinking finally they are posting more… Yeah yes, yes we are getting caught back up… Here is one of the KC engagement sessions we promised to show soooo long ago. Sorry for the delay in getting the slide show posted Erica and Dave.
Netanya and I headed to KC hours after the V.C. Blast to get work with Erica and Dave, one of our upcoming wedding. Erica is probably follows our blog closer than anyone one I’ve meet yet. So it was fun to quiz her on it during their session. We even spilled the beans on a few upcoming announcements that we just can tell everyone yet. Sorry…. I know, NOT fair. It will be ok or as the therapy buddy seen on American Inventor says “Everything is going to be all right” Check it out.
Erica and Dave Thanks again for showing us a great time in KC. You guys were great to work with and we are excited about working with you on your upcoming wedding day.
