Topeka Wedding at Highland Park Methodist with Vinewood Reception

Hello readers! Today I am excited to share with you the wedding of Megan & Dylan, a sweet couple from wonderful families that happily said their vows last Saturday.  I had so much fun working with this group of people and witnessing their commitment to God and one another.  I am confident their marriage will be blessed through their shared love and commitment to Jesus Christ.

The couple was married at the Highland Park United Methodist Church in Topeka, Kansas.  Not only was it a beautiful church and ceremony, but it is the same place the Bride's parents said their own vows decades before!  I really enjoyed the sermon, it reminded me very much of my own wedding actually.  It was not only personalized but personable and included a few laughs, but of course focused on the couple's desire to honor God through their marriage.

After the ceremony the wedding party and I headed over to the Ted Ensley gardens for some outdoor portraits before crossing the street to attend the reception at The Vinewood.  The reception was a lot of fun with great music, food, and company!  The security for the night was nice enough to offer his police car for some fun group photos also!  So don't worry, no arrests actually took place in the making of these photographs. =)

Megan & Dylan, thanks so much for choosing me to be a part of your special wedding.  Of course I wish you the very best, and had such a great time photographing this wonderful occasion.  God Bless your marriage always, and may your love for one another grow stronger in Christ with each passing year.

A Wonderful Wichita Wedding | Manhattan, Kansas Wedding Photographer

..in Andale!

Guess who is behind on her blogging? Surprise! Me! Shocking..I know.  It is hard to find the time upon taking thousands of photos to choose just a few, post just a few, and talk just a bit about those few! It's a hard life sometimes.. ;)

Anyhow! This wedding actually took place at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Andale, a suburb of Wichita.. but Andale didn't start with a "W", so there you have it!

This was a small, Friday evening wedding between a wonderful young couple.  The groom is currently studying at KState, and from the sound of it, is going to be an awesome businessman someday with his own business!  I spent six hours with this couple and their family.  It was a whirlwind of an evening, but we got a lot accomplished and their wedding was great!

The wedding and reception, decorated in Blue & White, took place at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Andale.  The reception was a small event for the family and friends to spend some time congratulating the couple, and of course, eating cake! The table decor was gorgeous and included a lot of "bling"!  Once the toasts and cake were done, the Mr. & Mrs. and I headed over to a nearby pond for some quick portraits before the sun completely set (though it was 95% gone already!).  After that, I followed them over to one of the parents' homes to capture their first dance and bouquet toss at the backyard after-party.  The party was complete with popcorn, marshmallows, chocolate, and ...Goobers (naturally..can't forget those!). There were some other candies available as well, but Goobers is much more fun to say. =)

Enjoy!
