Walker-Carney Wedding

This past Saturday we were able to share in Shanda and Peter's wedding day! We got to know them a few months ago when they booked and then decided to upgrade to a package that included a Love Story (again, our most popular package!)

What we found of Peter and Shanda is that they are super genuine people with big hearts and a long time friendship that will serve them very well in their life together as husband and wife.
We shot the Love Story only last month and learned how much they loved golf and each other! So it was a great time at the wedding day as well.

Shanda's package included salon coverage time so I met her at Charisma salon with the other ladies to document that. Shanda decided to do her own make up at home with friends and family around and I was able to get some shots of that as well. In the meantime Barry hung out with the guys while they got ready at the church -St. Francis of Assisi in West Wichita.

It seems a standard question to ask if the bride and groom are nervous before the big day and neither the bride or groom had any wedding day jitters, both said there was nothing to be nervous about and were very excited to see each other and get the day officially started!

Shanda wore a classic white wedding gown with beaded bodice and a detachable train, that was very handy! Peter wore the classic black tux with a white bow tie but added his own flair with a white cane!

The aisle was lined with homemade signs of the couples monogram in black, white and red. Photographer Brett Schauf, of T&J Studios, along with his wife Cheryl shot the wedding and all the photos were taken before the ceremony to save time and enjoy more of their party.

The wedding was officiated by Fr. Daryl Befort and concelebrated by three other priests who were friends of the families. A traditional mass kept a sacred feel and before we knew it, the congregation was clapping and congratulating the newlyweds.

They left the church in a red convertible, so appropriate for the beautiful weather we had! Brett and Cheryl met us at the golf course at Rolling Hills Country Club for photos prior to the reception held there- very appropriate for two of the most golf-loving people I've ever met!

A long time friend acted as DJ and after the wedding party was announced, the guests were served dinner before the traditional events of the evening.

Shanda and Peter, it really was an honor to meet you guys and to get to know both of you, we hope you had an excellent time on your trip! Your families are truly wonderful people, now we know where you get it! Take care, it was a pleasure to work with you!
