Palmer-Kiesling Wedding!

Apologizing once again for a late post! This past weekend we had the amazing experience of spending the day with a whole group of wonderful people for the wedding of Lauren and Brad. Lauren lives in Washington DC and called us nearly a year ago to inquire about wedding videography and was referred to us by our friends, Eric and Neal, of Lemon-Lime Photography out of Kansas-City. We met tham last year at a wedding we did in Missouri and were excited to have the opportunity to work with them again! Lauren and Brad were an absolute DELIGHT to work with all day and Eric, Neal, Barry and I came away with some great pictures and fun footage. There were absolutely no worries all day and Lauren was one of the most relaxed brides I've seen. Even a hole in the veil, her something "borrowed" didn't dampen her spirits!

We met everyone at the Cathedral downtown and documented the bride and grooms preparations. Everyone looked beautiful! Flowers were provided by Stems and added that perfect touch. Lauren wore a fitted dress with a wrapped/pleated bodice that was quite elegant. She kept jewelry to a minimum but was given a surprise by her husband to be, gorgeous diamond earrings.

They chose not to see each other prior to the ceremony and took as many photos as they could in the courtyard and then headed inside about 2 pm for the ceremony. A close friend, Fr. John Koziol, from Washington DC came to celebrate the marriage ceremony. This made it very personal and special for the couple. Afterwards they made their way through a stream of bubbles to a waiting porsche which Brad zipped them away in!

After zipping around the block, they returned to the sanctuary for some group shots and the Unified Party Bus awaited them for a crazy downtown urban shoot in Oldtown! I went along for the fun. Eric and Neal had some great poses and candid shots they captured and I was amazed at some of the killer lighting techniques they used which seems to be one of their trademarks. After the bridal party stopped in to Heroes Sports Bar for a quick Brew, it was time to board the bus and head East to Tallgrass Country Club for the reception. The couple had hired The Mikey Needleman Band from Kansas City and they were a phenominal three man show all night long! A beautiful choreographed ballroom dance to "The Luckiest" was the couples first dance and all the traditions followed. Laurens sorority and Brads fraternity serenaded Lauren during the night and you felt as if you were at a concert choir, it was really something. It was such a great time, we didn't really want to leave!

Thanks so much to Lauren and Brad for trusting us with their special day, you are an awesome couple perfect for one another and we were so thrilled to spend the day with you. Thank you so so much.
