Beck-MacDonald Wedding

Sorry for making everyone wait on the blog this week! It's been crazy getting ready for the summer bridal fair, travels here and there and of course that wonderful thing we call the edit backlog. So now it's finally time to catch up on some of our wedding posts!
Holly and Tim were married on July 12th at the Scottish Rite here in Wichita. We have known them for some time from our EMS backgrounds and they both currently work as Paramedics. It was nice for me filming (since I quit my full time EMS gig almost 2 years ago) to get to see all my old friends. A former Bride (and paramedic), Lori Cox, did all the ladies hair and make up early in the day in Colwhich. One of Holly's bridesmaids was Heidi, another paramedic and of course many guests were all related to emergency services. Jamie was her maid of honor.

Holly was having a great morning, enjoying a relaxing time lauging and telling stories with all the ladies. Lori did a fabulous job on her hair and I've never seen so many curls! Wow. But I left the salon early to catch shots of the Scottish Rite and decor before everyone arrived. Barry was relegated to the basement again with the groom and his groomsmen to get dressed.

When the bride arrived, she got dressed as quickly as she could so she could get some of the bridal pictures finished before the ceremony. She had chosen to wait to see Tim until the ceremony and her Dad walked her down the aisle! Her dress was quite unique, strapless for summer but with several different cut layers of satin on the back that bustled for the dance and of course plenty of bling and embellishments on the bodice. White bridal flip flops added the ultimate comfort she wanted during the ceremony. Bridesmaids wore sleek black dresses matching the formal tuxes the guys were sporting.

The ceremony took place on the steps of the main hall in front of the stained glass window. It was quick and to the point, leaving the guests plenty of time to party and for the newlyweds to enjoy their time with family and friends. The reception was also held at the Scottish Rite. All the formal traditions followed. The couple cut the three tiered cake, shared a toast, and took time for dinner before it was a free for all at the base of the steps for the bouquet and garter tosses! Then after their first dance, it was time to let their hair down and have some fun. Many of the die-hards stayed till the end and we had a great time!

So Holly- you ain't no Holly-Beck girl no more!

Congratulations to Tim and Holly for tying the knot! You guys make a great couple and we wish you many years of happiness and adventure together. Don't be strangers! :)
