We started the day early meeting the girls at the salon in Mulvane. When Kacie arrived at the salon she was carrying her new Coach purse Alex had gotten her as a wedding gift. Since Kacie's a "purse girl" it was the perfect gift. And when Alex said she was totally worth it - it was the sweetest thing he could've said. Once the girls were all done with their hair, we headed to The Powerhouse in Derby where the girls finished getting ready and the ceremony was to take place.

While the girls were getting their hair done, the guys met up at WSU golf course for a round of golf and window breaking. Yes, some how Alex found a way to hook the ball into the street, one bounce and through a window of one of the houses. Despite this they all seemed to have a great time.

Kacie & Alex had chosen a variety of jewel toned colors for their wedding colors. Each of the girls' dresses were a different color and their beautiful wildflower bouquets were each wrapped with the same material as their dresses. The combination of colors was beautiful and totally unique to Kacie & Alex.
The aisle was lined with candles and after walking his mom down the aisle, Alex came back to walk Kacie's mom down the aisle. Just before they made their way to the front of the church, Alex looked at his mother-in-law to be, placed his hand over hers and sweezed it with so much love that it spoke volumes. By the time Kacie & her dad were ready to walk down the aisle, all of the guests were caught up in their moment after watching their love story video just prior to the procession.

After the ceremony, the girls put on their fun Converse chucks shoes as we headed to a family friend's backyard to get some terrific outdoor shots with Kacie, Alex and the wedding party. Then we all headed to Derby High School for the reception where the guests were enjoying a delicious buffet done by another family friend. After the cake was cut and toasts were made it was time for the dance to begin. Followed by the garter and bouquet toss with one of the most hilarious entrances we've ever seen with one of Kacie's friends/bridesmaid dressed in shoulder pads and helmet over her formal dress making an NFL type of entrance.

Kacie & Alex, we had such a great time documenting your day and getting a chance to witness your love for each other as well as your families. With the strong examples you both have in your parents, we're sure that you'll have many happy years together.


Congratulations again,
Cheryl & Brett

Sept. 14, 2008

We started the day by heading in opposite directions: Cheryl to the Hyatt to meet Rene and the girls as they had brunch and Brett to the Ark Valley Gun Club where Adam and the guys were skeet shooting. While the guys were still shooting, Rene and the girls headed to Lindsey's (one of Rene's friends and stylist) home where she has a salon. Once they were ready, the ladies all headed to Botanica to slip into their dresses and start with the pictures.

Since the garden area was still soaked from all the rain we received this week in Wichita, Rene & Adam chose to have the wedding on the patio where they had accents of their wedding colors, hot pink and black. The flowers were done by Stems, the bridesmaids carried hot pink Gerber daisies while Rene's bouquet was a beautiful mixed arrangement that was wrapped with material from her mom's wedding dress.

As the beautiful sound of the harp filled the cool evening, it was time for the ceremony to begin and Rene made her way down the long walkway to her anxious groom. Rene's brother, Chris and Adam's sister, Melissa, did the readings. Instead of a unity candle, the couple combined two colors of sand filled at the beginning of the ceremony by their mothers, to form their own unique design. It was a lovely garden ceremony and a beautiful night. Once we finished with the pictures, it was time for the dinner, catered by Corporate Caterers, followed by the first dances, and garter and bouquet tosses.

Rene & Adam, it is such an honor to now share the same anniversary date with you guys. We hope that the years fly by as fast for you as they have for us. Thank you again for the bottle of wine, it was a very thoughtful and much appreciated. Also, thank you to your families for helping us celebrate our anniversary as we shared your day with you - it meant a lot to us - thanks especially to Cynda & Dawn! Also, I had to give a shout out to Ashley, Rene's Bridal Assistant, for following us throughout Botanica to help keep Rene's dress looking beautiful. And as always, it was great working with Pat & Judy from Judy Hadley Productions who were doing the videography and Ron Brown with Another Dimension who was the DJ.

Congrats again Rene & Adam - we hope Sept. 14 is as good to you as it has been to us!
