Hills-Clark Wedding!

Wow. Another great wedding. We are so lucky to work with such awesome brides and grooms! This last weekend was no different. We first met Allyson a couple years back we think after doing some montages for their family events. When Allyson found out she'd be getting married, she called us up to see if we were available for her date, and luckily we were!
Matt and Allyson tied the knot here in Wichita at St. Mary's Cathedral downtown. But I first met up with Allyson at the downtown Hyatt where she and her bridesmaids prepared in the Suite, getting the hair and make up done. Even though it was a suite, the place was full of activity. Allyson was in a great mood and all smiles! The ladies met up again at the church to get dressed along with Allyson later in the morning. Allyson's dress was unique as many are. It was a Pronovias that she found in Tulsa when on the search for the perfect dress. She found 4 she loved, but the final pick was most unique and comfortable. I had not seen a wedding dress with such a collar.
After Allyson was finished getting ready, she took as many photos before hand as she could so she saved seeing Matt for the first time walking down the aisle. Matt and his groomsmen prepared at his home and Barry followed to get a little bit of the preparations and everyone met up at the Cathedral.
The wedding started right on time and a full mass was celebrated. We had a nice time working with the Clark's photographer from Kansas City, John Siebs. When the couple was introduced as husband and wife, the couple let the guests leave and head across town to the Wichita Country Club for the reception while they finished photos in the church. They also hopped aboard the Party Express Bus and made a few stops in Old Town for photos on the way to the party.
Once arriving at the Country Club, the DJ met the bridal party to arrange the announcements and the couple was welcomed with thunderous applause. They went straight to the cake table to cut the cake and then were given many heartfelt toasts prior to dinner.
After all the guests went through the buffet, it was definately party time. The DJ was Carbon Productions and he did a wonderful job of mixing the dance songs all night long. The dance floor was never empty.
The night ended with the Bride and Groom being escorted to a limo through a tunnel of sparklers outside the Country Club doors! It was a great time for sure.
Thanks to Matt and Allyson for allowing us to be your official videographers for the day! We really had a wonderful time, we are so happy you have stayed in touch, and we hope we can continue to stay in touch if you need anything else. And if you don't... who cares :) Stop in anytime, we have really enjoyed getting to know you both. You rock!
Just a note to the rest of our readers: Matt and Allyson honeymooned in London, where Allyson has been in touch with us via her cell phones email. Yes, we scolded her for not ignoring the world why they were gone :)
