Pursley-Johnson Wedding

We apologize for posting late with all of the projects taking flight here at Fat Cat, but we need to fill you in on the great wedding of Vanessa and Cory we filmed over a week ago on September 6th!

Vanessa and Cory are an awesome couple. Vanessa started her day at East Heights United Methodist Church in east Wichita. She and her bridesmaids had all their hair and make up done when they arrived, so they needed very little time to don their dresses, do touch ups and assist Vanessa into her own dress. Classic strapless and fitted with buttons down the back and pleated bodice. She was incredibly elegant.

Vanessa chose to see Cory before the wedding to get many of her photos out of the way so they could have more time to party afterwards and after a few minor delays, she had her chance. Tim Davis was the photographer and together, we set up the first meeting in the sanctuary, clearing everyone out for their private moment. The groom stood at the steps of the altar facing forward and Vanessa proceeded down the aisle to meet him. Cory had a huge smile on his face, and we can only imagine what he might be thinking when she tapped him on the shoulder to signal him to turn around! Cory read aloud the card Vanessa presented to him and it was simply a great moment.

Tim worked quickly to get all the group photos taken prior to the ceremony and had time to spare! The sanctuary soon filled with guests and was almost full shortly before the wedding. We all took our places and enjoyed a very special ceremony celebrating not only their new lives together, but family. The bride entered the church alone and her groom met her in the aisle and escorted her to the front of the church. After the vows and exchange of rings they lit the unity candle and then invited their children to join them to light a second candle nearby and share a private prayer. After everyone took their places again, the pastor wasted no time in announcing them as husband and wife and they left the church past rows of their guests lined outside showering them with beautiful rose petals! The limo whisked them away to the reception!

We arrived at the Cowtown Visitors Center shortly before the bride and groom and the guests were enjoying cocktails. We captured the details with Tim while Tyler from Another Dimension DJ Service prepared to announce the couple to the party. Thunderous applause welcomed them!

The couple spent time saying hello and thanking each and every guest who attended throughout the night. The traditional events followed, dinner, cutting the cake and toasts. Cory and Vanessa even had party favors of personalized koozies that read "I partied at the Johnson Wedding 09.06.08" Too cool!

It was truly a fun night and so relaxing with such a great bride and groom. Thank you Cory and Vanessa for allowing us to capture your special day. We had a wonderful time spending the day with you and wish you every happiness together and your absolutely beautiful family and gorgeous children! You are undeniably perfect together.
