What a wonderful day and a wonderful wedding. It is always such a treat to be able to work with a family we have worked with in the past.

Our day began with a drive to McPherson to meet Rachelle and her brides maids at the Bello Capelli Salon & Spa, where they had their hair done for the day. While Rachelle was sitting in the nice air conditioned salon getting there hair done, Josh and the guys decided a trip to the park for friendly game of wiffle ball would be a great way to start the day.



After that it was off to the church to get into tux's and dresses. As soon as both were ready, we all headed to the sanctuary where Josh was able to see Rachelle for the first time in her wedding dress. It was a very touching moment. Photos followed, first of the couple and then the wedding party and family.



Finally the moment for the ceremony arrived. The candles were lit, the family was seated and then a wedding video documenting the lives of the couple was played. Once the video was over, the wedding party entered the sanctuary to the tune of "Through the Eyes of Love". The moment had arrived. "You Light Up My Life" began to be played and the guests all stood as Rachelle was escorted down the aisle by her father.

It was a beautiful ceremony, the grandfathers each read the scripture passages that were chosen by the couple,vows were taken, rings exchanged, and the unity candle lit. The immediate family all gathered on the altar for a moment of prayer before the couple was pronounced husband and wife, kissed and danced down the aisle. The couple came back down aisle to greet each guest as they left the church. The guests gathered out side to shower the couple with rice and they made their way to the limo.

A quick stop at the park for some photographs then to the reception for dinner and dancing. The cake was cut and toasts were given then the dance began. Josh and Rachelle shared their first dance as husband and wife, and then danced with the parents. Following the dollar dance was the boquet and garter toss. As the evening wound down, Josh and Rachelle left the reception to a showering of sparks from the sparklers. It was a very memorable wedding.


Many thanks to all the family and friends who made this event such a joy to be a part of.
Best wishes Josh and Rachelle

Taryn and the ladies began the day and Taryn's work, Charisma salon, where they had their hair and make up done. After a quick stop at McDonalds it was off to the church to get into the dresses and get ready for photos. Mean while, the guys were getting ready at their respective homes and Taryns dad was enjoying a morning of fishing. Alex arrived at the church in his white tux and pink vest and was immediatley greeted by his precious daughter in her white dress. After spending a few intimate moments with his daughter, Alex greeted his groomsmen as they finished putting on their ties, cufflinks and flowers.

Finally it was time for Alex to see his beautiful bride for the first time in her dress. After a touching moment together, we began with the formal photos. The ceremony followed. It was a traditional wedding and mass, with a devotion to Mary.
After the ceremony, the bridal party loaded into a limo and headed off to the Petroleum Club for the reception. Upon being announced into the reception, the couple went over to cut the cake. Toasts were given by the best man and maid of honor then the couple took some time to eat.

Once dinner was finished, it was time for the garter / boquet toss. The couples first dance was next followed by parents dances. Then the party began. It was a great night, Alex and Taryn spent most of the time on the dance floor dancing with their friends and family and having a wonderful time.

We are very fortunate to have been able to share this special day with Alex and Taryn, thank you to all the friends and family who helped make this such a memorable day.

Best wishes guys, and thank you

Explosion in Valley Center

As most of you have heard, a chemical plant in town exploded on Tuesday morning. The plant is less than a mile from the studio, so we were evacuated and as of Wednesday night have not been allowed back into it. Every one is safe, but because we have not been able to work on editting for 2 days, we may be behind on getting some of our shots posted on line. Rest assured that as soon as we are allowed to safely enter the area, we will do everything possible to get back on schedule.

Thanks to every one for the calls of concern and the understanding of our situation

On what is believed to be the luckiest day of the century, Jonathan and Julie pledged their undying love to each other and became husband and wife.


The day began with the girls meeting at Julie's house to get their hair done, then it was off to Dillards to the Mac counter for make up. Once make up was done it was off to the Hyatt to check into the Presidential suite and get ready for the ceremony. While the ladies were getting make up done, the guys met at Saigon Restaurant for lunch and then to the Hyatt to get into their tux's.

Once everyone was dressed and ready, Jonathan went out by the fountain to await his beautiful bride. It was a very special moment and Julie approached Jonathan and he turned around to see her for the first time in her dress. After a few moments together, it was off for photos around the hotel. After a photo session with the bridal party and family, the couple retired to their respective rooms for last minute touch up and to get ready for the ceremony. Julie anxiously watched from her 17th floor window as the security guard tried to clear the fountains of swimmers.

Finally at 7 pm the moment arrived and Julie was escorted by her father along the fountains and through the guests to her awaiting groom. The ceremony was beautifully staged along the river and the setting sun. After an exchange of vows and rings the couple ventured up to the unity candle, where in spite of the breeze they were able to get it lit. They were then pronounced husband and wife and after a passionate kiss exited the ceremony location to go to the reception.

The parents and bridal party were announced into the reception followed by the bride and groom, upon entering the room they went to the cake table to cut the cake and feed each other their first treats as a married couple. Dinner followed with toasts by the best man, Jonathan's brother Jeremy and Maid of Honor, Jenna. Not to be out done the rest of the groomsmen each took a turn with a short story about Jonathan.

We took a quick break from dinner and went outside to take a few photos of the couple along the river at sunset. When we came back into the reception the dancing started with the traditional first dance and parents dance. This was followed by the garter / bouquet toss and then the dollar dance.


We all had a really great time working with Jonathan and Julie and their friends and family. It truly was a very memorable day and we are very pleased to have been able to share it with them.

Best Wishes
Brett, Cheryl and Netanya

Tammy and her bridesmaids, her mom, her daughter, Jace's mom, and her friends started out at Panara for breakfast. They laughed and relaxed over coffee and bagels while Jace and his Groomsmen and friends did the same at Cracker Barrel. Jace and the guys went their separate ways and got ready. Tammy and the lady's went a couple doors down from Panara to Tips and Toes where her sisters, daughter, mom and even Jace's mom got pedicures and manicures. They all got matching flowers on their toes. Tammy and her friend, a brides maid, already had theirs done. After everyone was set getting their nails done Tammy and her friend snuck off to run some errands. They first stopped at Wal-Mart to get some essentials like protein bars and bottled water. After Wal-Mart they went to the bridal shop to pick up their dresses and for her bridesmaid to try hers on once more. After errands they went to the Broadview hotel to finish getting ready. Tammy's younger sister and hairdresser Tiffany did the lady's hair and makeup. Everyone who was finished headed over to the church in the limo while Tammy and her little sister finished getting ready. It was raining pretty bad that day so after hair and makeup was finished Tammy and her sister decided to wait till they got to the church to get into their dresses.

The ceremony was at St. Mary's Cathedral. It was a very pretty, simple ceremony that went smoothly. After the ceremony was over we (Brett and Netanya) finished the group pictures.

The reception was held at the Tanganyika wild life park where the couple was surrounded by their friends and family. Tammy had a very elegant four tier cake and Jace had a life like tackle box cake. After cake the couple had their first dance together and then the parent dances. They had a live band called Big Fat Fun that sang all the songs and played the music. After the dances the matron of honor repeated her speech that she gave at the ceremony and two of Jace's close friends gave speeches also. After a few more dances everyone was gathered up for the garter / bouquet toss. Tammy's younger sister caught the bouquet and a boy from the audience caught the garter.

Overall the day was a ton of fun and we thank you Tammy and Jace for letting us document your day and the best of luck to the two of you.

The day started off with a trip to Eric Fisher Salon for the ladies to get their hair done, followed by a trip next door to get the nails done. While the ladies were at the salons, the men went to All Star sports for a few rounds in the batting cages and then a couple laps in the go carts. From there we went to the church where Erica and the ladies had their make up done and got into their dresses while the gentlemen put on their tuxedos. The photos started with a private viewing where Josh saw Erica in her dress for the first time before we began with the formal and group portraits.
The ceremony was truly a family affair, the celebration was officiated by Josh's dad. Josh's brother was the best man and Erica's sister was the matron of honor. After the ceremony, the bride and groom left the church to a shower of bubbles, and it was off to the park for more photos. After leaving the park we made one more quick stop down town to take some photos by one of the statues.
Arriving at the Garvey Center, the couple was announced into the reception by Jeff of Complete Music. The reception started with a game to test the wedding party's knowledge about the couple followed by dinner. After dinner is was more games, cake cutting and of course the toast.
The dance began with the couples first dance followed by parent dances and then the snow ball. After a few more dances the couple had a dollar dance to help send them on their honeymoon.

Congratulations Josh and Erica, and thank you so much for allowing us to participate in your special day.

It was a beautiful early summer morning as Mike and Lori arrived early at Blessed Sacrament for final preparations and decorations for their wedding. With the help of family, they put the finishing touches on the decorations for the reception and the flowers on the altar. Once all the decorating was finished, and Mike was in his tux, we began with the photos around the church. We were shortly joined by Lori and the rest of the family to finish the immediate family photos before the ceremony. The guests arrived and it was time for the celebration. the wedding was an intimate affair attended by family and friends. Mikes son stood up for him as best man, his daughter was a soloist, and Lori's two sons escorted her down the isle. Following the ceremony we took a few more photos of the extended family, then it was off to the reception hall for cake and punch. The lunch was pizza and pastas from Piztros. Once the cake was cut Mike and Lori spent the rest of the time mingling with family and friends and posing for photographs with their guests.

Thank you Mike and Lori for allowing us to be part of your day, we really had a great time. Best wishes for a long and happy life together.
