Newby-Dugan Wedding!

Last weekend, we were able to share the day with Sarah and Brent, a fabulous couple. When Brent popped the question to his girlfriend about a year ago, they decided to hire a videog-

rapher for their wedding and called us. We were thrilled to work with the Dugan's again and to get to know the Newby's. (We had filmed Brent's sister's wedding about 3 years ago) About 2 months ago we filmed Sarah and Brent's Love Story that they showed during the reception, and when we get two minutes to breathe around here, we'll try to post it! But that was a very fun day where we got to know Sarah and Brent a little better and so it was a fun, relaxing day when it came time for the wedding!

Sarah also hired Marcia Morrison and we had a good time hanging out together! Her photos are featured in this blog post. I started the day with Sarah at Sola Salons in west Wichita while she got her hair done and hung out with a few of her friends and bridesmaids. I don't believe there was a single hair on Sarah's head that wasn't curled! Before I left, Sarah shared a special story with me about her "something old" for her wedding day. An aunt hand made a purse for her made with replica lace of her wedding dress and a few pieces of Sarah's grandmothers wedding gown! It matched Sarah's attire perfectly and Sarah was able to "carry" a part of her grandmother with her during the wedding day. Afterwards, I met her at the church where Barry was documenting the grooms' preparations at St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Wichita. Sarah was in good spirits as she and her bridesmaids got dressed and ready for photos. Sarah's gown, I can say, was one of the most stunning we've seen. Sarah found her dress in Oklahoma City. It was a Priscilla of Boston. Alencon lace with swarovski crystal beading adorned Sarah and fit her perfectly.

After everyone was ready, Sarah met Brent for the first time in the courtyard and took as many photographs with Marcia as they could prior to the ceremony. It was a gorgeous day, not too hot, not too cool. The ceremony started at 2 pm and it was a special celebration with Sarah's uncle being a priest, he was the officiant. Brent and Sarah had a full mass celebrating communion together with all their guests.

After they were announced as husband and wife, the guests made their way outside the main steps of the Cathedral and grabbed handfuls of pink rose petals to shower the newlyweds with. It was absolutely gorgeous and the ground looked as if it were colored pink after the couple exited on the trolley to take more photographs off site!

After photos, we met the couple at the Dugan Library at Kansas Newman College at a packed house for the reception and dance. All of the traditional events flowed smoothly with Mark Mazur acting as emcee for the evenings festivities. We were able to show the Love Story on two big screens the library provided and then Brent and Sarah kicked off the dancing with their first dance, special dances with their parents and then - PARTY TIME. I don't think the dance floor was ever empty- all night. Lots of happiness, laughter, smiles and hugs with family and friends proved to make a great combination for a wonderful night.

As you are reading, we might mention Sarah wanted to thank all of her friends and family that came such long distances to help her with pre-wedding day planning and also celebrate the day. You were an invaluable help and it showed with the day running so smoothly and beautiful!

Thank you to the Dugan and Newby families for having us be a part of the day, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed seeing old friends and making many new ones! Congratulations to Brent and Sarah on their marriage, new life together, and new home, what an exciting time, we are very happy for you!
