Dalrymple - Tautfest Prequel Online!

Another prequel is up today! Scroll down to find the Dalrymple-Tautfest Prequel! We think it showed the romance of the day between Jenny and Jayton pretty well. It sure was tough picking shots for this one! There were so many awesome ones! How do you choose great ones but also leave some suspense for the final edit?! We are especially fond of the ending! Check it out and leave us your comments! Check back this week for more prequels and projects!

New Love Story Online!

We finally had some time to upload the Nelson-George Love Story today. Scroll to check it out in Tamaira and Jonathan's post. This was played at the wedding reception and was a big hit with the guests, many did not know the story of Jonathan and Tamaira, nor that she raises fancy mice (yes, the one I kissed in a previous post!). Check it out. More prequels to come this evening!

Zluticky - Parks Party!

It was an interesting and fun wedding this past Saturday! We got to spend the day with Janelle and Josh and their many friends whom we have known for some time!

Janelle started her day getting her hair and make-up done at Asbury Methodist Church. Janelle's mom made sure she would be set for the day by packing a lunch and also providing her Ritz crackers and Janelle's favorite snack- Fudge Rounds. The ladies also played a round of 'Apples to Apples', a card game. It was an interesting day because the bride had her make up done by a former FCP bride Jessica, her Matron of Honor was a former bride of ours, Sarah and one of the bridesmaids is a future December bride, Courtney! And the photographers were Tyffany and Jeff, of T&J Studios, so it was a great time with Janelle and all her friends!
Janelle's flowers were white daisies with yellow centers. The daisy theme was carried throughout the day on the front of the guest book, pen to sign the guest book, in buckets that were draped on the pews and small bouquets the bridesmaids carried down the aisle. The ladies wore white strapless tops with yellow skirts with a dainty yellow ribbon that tied along the waist. Janelle looked stunning in a dress she found at David's Bridal. It was white, satin A-line with removable cap sleeves, chiffon split front and metalic embroidery with a chapel length train.
Janelle chose to see Josh for the first time before the ceremony and they had time for a private moment together. Before the ceremony, the guests were seated while a Trivia slide show filled with multiple choice and True/False questions about Janelle and Josh played on big screens. This made it very personable and fun. Opening the ceremony was a slideshow in memory of Janelle's grandfather and Josh's mother. The ceremony was very beautiful and Janelle and Josh left down the aisle dancing to "This will be an everlasting love".
The reception was held at the Indian Center and the newleyweds wanted to snag a few shots by the Keeper of the Plains on the suspension bridge. Then the entire wedding party was announced by the DJ, Absolute Sound, again with personal trivia about each attendant as they arrived. Dinner was catered by Old Chicago and consisted of pizza rolls, calzones, chicken tenders, salad and fruit. The wedding cake was all chocolate with chocolate frosting. The thin mints were also a big hit and lined a nearby platter in a layered circle. The groom's cake was decorated with all Josh's favorite sports teams he likes to watch.
The party started with the Janelle and Josh's first dance as well as the father/daughter dance and Josh dancing with his grandmother. Everybody danced and had a crazy time. And that is no joke they all knew how to party!

Janelle and Josh - thanks again for letting us spend the day with you, it was great to see old friends and future friends as well! You both were wonderful to work with and for! We can see you are a perfect match for one another. Thank you for dinner, we appreciate it! We wish you many memories and years of happiness together, please keep in touch!

Nelson- George Wedding

Yesterday we spent the day with Tamaira and Jonathan. We have known this couple for several months now since Tamaira booked us being engaged less than 24 hours! We had a really good time at the wedding. We have previously blogged about Jonathan and Tamaira when we were filming their Love Story earlier this summer (see 'A Game of Cat and Mouse' entry). You can watch the love story below.

The wedding and reception were both held at Terradyne Country Club. It was an outdoor wedding with approximately 150 guests attending. It was a blessing that it didn't rain as previously forecasted! Tamaira prepared with her mother, four bridesmaids, train attendant, and flower girl. The bridesmaids wore deep red tea-length strapless gowns and Tamaira's dress was also strapless with a beaded bodice and stain skirt with a ribbon around the waist and a small train. Her flowers were stunning calla lillies of deep red, maroon, orange and peach colors from Rusty Bucket Creations. The guys of course in tuxes with red vests or ties. Jonathan's son did an outstanding job as one of the ring bearers!

They chose to see each other prior to the ceremony so all of the formal photos could be taken and they could have more time to visit with guests at the reception. We had the pleasure of working with Heather and John from Photography by Brandi out of Kansas City. After the bride and groom had their first viewing, with family and friends peering their way, they were able to find an open room to go to for some private time together.

Tamaira arrived to the ceremony location via golf cart and her father walked her down the aisle to Jonathan. The ceremony was short and sweet, yet personal. They chose Unity Sand instead of a candle and walked away from the ceremony as husband and wife under a downpour of confetti. They took some time to drive around the golf course and take some photos as the guests made their way back inside to the reception.

Tamaira's father introduced them as husband and wife at the reception. Steak dinner followed and then the viewing of the completed Love Story which we will post shortly. It was then open mic for the guests to relay their stories about Jonathan and Tamaira from their childhood. Then on to cut the cake, toss the bouquet and garter. Tamaira threw her girls for a loop when tossing the garter, instead of throwing toward the crowd of singles, she threw in the opposite direction to see who really really wanted it!

They chose not to have a dance and after a receiving line, they decided to call it a night as they were off early in the morning for a honeymoon in Miami (and not packed yet!)

Tamaira and Jonathan, again thank you so much for having us as part of your day, we have truly enjoyed getting to know both of you over the last few months. Please keep in touch! You are both genuine, fun and fabulous people that are an absolute joy to be around! We hope it was a great honeymoon in Florida and we expect to see pictures upon your return!

new eXtreme session online!

Scroll to the extreme session post to find Stephanie and Cameron's eXtreme session video now online! The video is quite a bit different than our original eXtreme session, but every session is just that different, as is each couple we work with. It's all about you and how much you want to "trash the dress" -or not. Check it out, leave your comments and call Fat Cat or Tyff or Jeff at T&J Studios to book your own eXtreme session today! Stephanie and Cameron had this to say about their eXtreme session video:

"OMG!! It's amazing! We love every second of it! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I'm posting it everywhere I know.....Most of the comments I've gotten about the slideshow entail something like "those are the best I've seen". I can't wait to hear about the video! I honestly don't have to words to describe how happy we are with the session. The carefree feeling that shows is better than any of our wedding pictures. I'm more excited about showing your video at our reception than I am our wedding video! Cameron was a little nervous, which in turn made me a little nervous, but you guys really helped us relax and enjoy being in the spotlight! The video and pictures are fabulous! Oh, and did I mention how much fun we had?! My daughter already wants to trash her prom dress! Ok, so it was my suggestion, but she loves the idea. Unfortunately she's only 11 :( "

Stephanie brings up a good point when talking about her daughter, the trash the dress website has a sister site for that very thing called let's get trashed and it focuses on other types of dress trashing, so if you know of someone who wants to trash the prom dress, homecoming dress, etc, give us a shout! What a way to spice up your senior photos and get a unique "senior video" no one else has! Grab a friend or two for a great time! Oh, and just to clear the air, no local companies did Stephanie and Cameron's wedding video! :)
