Erica started her special day at Sami Halaesh Salon with her bridesmaids, friends and family to get their hair done. Make-up was done at the church which was the beautiful St. George Orthodox Christian Cathedral. Erica’s bridesmaids wore black strapless dresses with a champagne sash that went around the girl’s waist and down to the floor in the back. Erica’s dress was a champagne color as well that had a really long train. As I was following and documenting the ladies Jeff was spending time with the guys documenting them as they shot clay pigeons in Goddard. Jeff even was able to not only shoot with the camera but join in the manly fun of shooting a gun as well. He enjoyed that Dave, so, thank you for allowing him to be part of the fun. Jeff also had some time to take some pictures of Dave and his groomsmen in Old Town. As he was documenting the guys having a good time he saw a man driving an old 1929 truck and flagged him down to get some shots of the guys hanging out by the truck. Then it was time for the guys and Jeff to head to the church to start with Dave and his family pictures.

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful as their was the Right Reverend Bishop Basil, Very Reverend Paul O-Callaghan and Reverend James Shadid who performed the holy matrimony ceremony. The Orthodox has a lot of history to it and with the detailed ceiling paintings and the pillars that ran up both sides of the long aisle made for great photos. Afterwards we did family photos together with both Erica and Dave. I bee lined over to the reception which was held at the Olive Tree and documented the details and guests visiting as Jeff rode on the trolley with the wedding party to Bradley Fair to grab a few more candid shots.

As guests waited for Dave and Erica to arrive they were served orderves as they mingled and socialized. Once Erica and Dave were announced into their reception the buffet lines were opened for guests to enjoy. After dinner Erica and Dave had their first dance as husband and wife to “At Last”. Then Erica and Gary, father of the bride, danced to “What a Wonderful World”. Dave and Milna, mother of the groom, danced to “One Sweet World”. The dance floor was officially open for the guests to take part in having fun. The evening was very elegant and a chance for Erica and Dave to thank all their guests for coming.

We want to thank Erica and Dave along with both families for allowing us to be able to document their special day.

Stay in touch Erica and Dave!

We started by arriving at the Airport Hilton where Julie, her bridesmaids and little angels got their hair done. Julie and Nate had a parade of angels that were in the wedding instead of the traditional ringbearer and flowergirl. The parade of angels consisted of Savannah, Destry, Olivia, Madelyn, Jackson and Peter.

They had a total of seven attendants on each side including a junior bridesmaid and junior groomsman. The ladies wore black floor length dresses and carried yellow lilies and roses designed by Moore Flowers. The men wore black pinstripe tuxes with yellow vests to go with the Wichita Shocker colors black and gold.

The ceremony was performed by Father Jim Billinger at St. Elizatheth Ann Seton Catholic Church. Julie looked stunning as her father escorted her down the aisle to Nate for the first time. After the ceremony we finished up with pictures The wedding party along with friends hopped on the Green Unified Party Bus to transport over to the reception which was held at The Airport Hilton. After arriving Julie and Nate wanted to take a peak at the room as it was all nicely decorated while their guests were in another area for cocktail hour. The groom’s cake was decorated all in WSU decor including 2 rowing boats and ors that were exactly what they used to row with when they were on the rowing team but in a smaller scale of course. On the back was a green shamrock with ILU on the back. The wedding cake was very tall with many layers of different kinds of cake.

There was chocolate, lemon, confetti and strawberry to satisfy any taste bud. In one of the corners of the room they made sure they had something to keep the kids busy. They had miniature pumpkins and foam stickers to attach to the pumpkins. This made for a wonderful idea and kept the kids busy for awhile. Before the guests entered the room Julie and Nate went out in the area to visit and socialize for a bit and take part in the cheese fountain with warm pretzels and chips. Then it was time for Scott with AMM to announce the entire wedding party into the ball room. They all were announced into the room by their height and name in the mimic to an announcer at a basketball game announcing players to the floor towards the beginning of a game. To start the evening Julie and Nate went over to the cake and cut into it as newly weds. Lets just say it got messy and up someone’s nose. “Way to go Julie!” After Julie did some clean up on aisle Hampel they did their toast and followed was a slideshow and dinner. Following dinner was the toast by the best man and maid of honor. Many tears of happiness and laughter were shed reminiscing child hood on both behalf’s. Followed were the formal dances and lots of fun hanging out with friends and family.

We want to thank both families for having us there to document Julie and Nate’s special day. Also we want to thank Tinley with Jubilations for the day going so smoothly and all her hours of planning. We also had a blast with the crazy crew over at FAT CAT Productions. Every wedding is unique in its own way and this one had many little things that made it special to them as a couple: The parade of angels, WSU theme, The entrance to the ballroom, pumpkins for the kids, quotes from movies that Julie and Nate have seen placed randomly around the reception location, cheese fountain and many more.

We took many pictures so everyone that is reading and are anxious to see pictures from the wedding please be patient with us as we are in the process of moving our studio and we do open up every photo to edit and so please make sure you register and you will get an e-mail to see the rest of the pictures when they are available. I will be working on the debut slideshow this week to post to help relive the day and be a teaser before all the other photos are posted.

Congrats Julie and Nate and stay in touch!
