Tucker/Kramer Wedding

One word describes our day with Gary and Jazmine yesterday- Wow! It was a great day. We met Gary and Jazmine this past summer while they planned their wedding party and reception. The two were already married and wanted to have a big celebration for all their friends and family. We were honored to be a part of it.

I met Jazmine at Don Michael Bannon Salon downtown where she and the ladies were given fabulous hair styles and make up for the day. Don gave them updos with a similar styling to look fabulous for the photos and video. Everyone was stunning. After a fun and relaxed morning, the ladies met back up with me at the Wichita Marriott to get dressed for the day. Jazmine chose a gorgeous blue for her color. She wore a classic white strapless gown with my favorite souffle skirt and a dark navy blue ribbon wrapping around her waist. The bridesmaids wore matching navy blue strapless gowns. The flowers were a wintery light blue and complimented the dresses quite beautifully. Jazmine isn't the biggest flower fan and saved her budget for other things of "something blue"! (Read further).

As the two were already married and the wedding being an evening event, they chose to see each other before the ceremony. Her photographer, Tim Davis, set up a great place in the hotel lobby for them to meet and share a special moment together then knock out the traditional photos prior to the ceremony. But this photo session was quite fun and not-so traditional!

In the meantime, Jubilations Events were putting the finishing touches on the ceremony and reception rooms, turning them into a white and blue winter wonderland. Scott Ward from AMM DJ Service added the last blast of color with 20 different sets of LED uplighting filling both rooms! The lighting itself really was a centerpiece. Absolutely stunning. Stunning + Gorgeous= Wow.

6 pm fast approached and Jazmine made her way down the aisle with her father to meet Gary. They reaffirmed their vows, shared a unity sand ceremony and a comical early kiss as husband and wife! The ceremony was short and to the point as the couple wanted to spend their time with friends and enjoy time at the reception.

Tim, the Jubilatoins staff, Scott, and Fat Cat all had a chance to take pictures of the reception hall prior to the guests entering during the cocktail hour (a rarity for us) and everyone was just in awe. The bride and groom got a first sneak peak as well. Then the guests entered and you could read their lips "Oh wow!"

The room was completely transformed with white draperies and table linens, white chair covers with light blue sashes, white table tops trees with irridescent crystals and votive candles hanging in them, drapereies framing the dance floor with uplighting and several other white and blue decor touches. The bridal party entered and the bride and groom got right to it and cut the cake, started the buffet line and moved right into their first dances.

The night was a fantasy come to life, we cannot wait to show you the pictures from Tim and the prequel in a few weeks.

Thank you Jazmine and Gary, we had a great time spending the day with you. It was a great day, and it is obvious you are loved by many! Good luck to you on your new life in California and enjoy the Vegas vacation!

Adam and Jena

Yesterday we were able to share the day with Adam and Jena. What a great couple! The wedding was held at Central Christian Church in Wichita with the reception at the Broadview Hotel.

It was another twist on our destination weddings in Wichita. Jena is from Wichita, but Adam is originally from New York and family was present from all over including New York, Florida and Canada!

Jena prepared at the church with her 6 bridesmaids. The bridesmaids all chose different dresses to compliment their own personal style and they looked fabulous all in a bright beautiful red. Jena was then taken to the prayer room where close family shared a prayer of blessing upon her before she walked down the isle to see Adam for the first time that day.

Stems provided beautiful flower arrangements and candles adorned the altar area for the ceremony.

After vows were exchanged, they chose to symbolize their coming together with Unity Sand instead of a Unity Candle. After being introduced as husband and wife, pictures were taken and they were wisked away in a stretch SUV limo to the Broadview hotel for the party hosted by Scott at AMM (Accent Mobile Music)!

Very touching toasts blessed the couples new lives together and they danced the night away!

It was a pleasure to work with both Jena and Adam, we hope you enjoy their wedding Prequel, set to the music that Jena marched into the church to!

DJ's Rock!

Yesterday and today Barry and I were invited to film the Wichita Area American Disc Jockey Association's (WA2DJA) Midwest Mobile Entertainers Seminar at the Wichita Marriott Hotel. This was our second year to film for them. The seminar was for area disc jockeys to improve their knowledge base, gain business and marketing insight from leaders in their industry, to learn from and network with others. Nearly 100 attendees participated from all over the midwest, including Wichita, Dallas, Oklahoma City, St. Louis and beyond.
Mr. Scott Faver was one of the featured guests, speaking for the second year in a row. Other guests included Marc Weinstock and Randy Bartlett. The keynote address was given by Mr. Bryan Dodge on Sunday afternoon as well as later in the evening at a special event coined "Dinner with Dodge" which was by invitation only.
Even though we were tired from working both days, we had a great time meeting and visiting with everyone. How can you NOT have a good time in a room full of 100 professional DJ's and entertainers!? It just doesn't happen.
Thanks to Ron and Jeffrey for letting us be a part of your conference again, we learned alot ourselves!

Jeff from T&J Studios was on hand to take all the professional photos, I even got to play with the camera too! Thanks Jeff!


Scott Faver introduces a new ice breaker game to the attendees. The group had to stand on the sheet on the floor and flip it over as a group without letting their feet touch the carpeted floor.
Scott Faver and I share a laugh and a pose after the conference. Scott is well known for his over the top dance moves and spins!

Sorry we didn't get any photos of Bryan Dodge the first day, we will have to wait for the edits from T&J Studios to get a GOOD one! :)
