Celebrating Family! ~ Akin / Larcom Wedding

Last night, Stephanie spent her first day as a Full Time employee of FCP shooting the wedding of Kevin and Angela at the Airport Hilton. Everything was elegant from the all-black bridesmaids dresses and black tuxes to the wonderful meal of steak and salmon and a candle lit first dance. Kevin and Angela made sure this was a family affair by including Angela's son Brydan. He acted as Ring Bearer carrying in a stuffed Teddy Bear with the rings attached by ribbons! An exchange of gifts between the three followed the vows and the ceremony was officiated by the Bride's father!

Look for their wedding movie prequel to be posted here after the 5th of November. Congratulations Kevin and Angela!

FCP goes FT!

FCP is so exicted to announce that as of Saturday October 28th, Stephanie is going Full time in the business! This has been something we have been working towards for the last year, growing our business slowly and steadily to this point. Stephanie's last day of her employment at her "other job" will be on Friday, the 27th. But there's no rest for the Fat Cat Crew, as we will be filming a wedding this Saturday! So watch for the prequel here in our blog.

Being able to go Full Time in our business will not only allow us to catch up in the current edit cue (which is pretty full!) and hopefully decrease our turn around time for our patiently waiting customers, but also give us more time to devote to business-only endeavors allowing FCP to grow bigger and better.

There will also be lots of new things to announce from Fat Cat in the coming weeks we are currently working on, so y'all come back now y'hear?

Wayne & Angela "Fall in Love"

Yesterday we spent our Sunday with Wayne and Angela at the Wichita Scottish Rite. The bride and groom are from Virginia and this made for one of our many destination weddings here in Wichita. It was an intimate and personal wedding and they spent their day wtih their closest friends and family from all over the country. They did not let the rain and drizzle dampen their spirits! The celebration of love and friendship was apparent.

The theme of Fall was incorporated several different ways from the invitations, to the programs, floral arrangements and guest favors; boxes of fall colored leaves made of pineapple and jasmine scented soap, wrapped in ribbon and labeled "Fall in Love"! (Not to mention the October Kansas weather!)

The newlyweds will get to see some awesome fall colors while in Scotland for their honeymoon!

The Sherbet and Weaver Wedding

Yesterday we were able to spend our day with Stephanie and Thomas! After months of planning, everything came together seamlessly at the Airpoirt Hilton where the Ballroom was transformed from the "usual" ballroom into a fragrant, beautiful Botanical Garden! Multicolored orchids were flown in direct from Thailand! The remainder of roses, lilies and greenery that adorned handmade topiaries were transported to Wichita from Ohio by the Bride's Aunt, an incredible florist!
Stephanie wound her way through the garden of guests with an escort of five honorary fathers. The Bridal Party follwed in a similar fashion. The ceremony was complete with songs and readings in both Spanish and English and concluded with a covenant of salt before the reception, dinner and dance.
Thanks to the Sherbet's and Weaver families for letting us be a part of your very special day!
