If you have been reading this blog for any length of time you know that I love photographing weddings. Yesterday was no exception...Erin and Nate are an extraordinary couple. Their wedding was held at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary-or St. Mary's Cathedral as most of us know it. As the bride and groom wanted to make sure that all their guests arrived at the reception ahead of them, we had the entire church to ourselves for a little while after the ceremony and got to take some unique photos. (If you have never been inside the Cathedral, I highly recommend you take the first opportunity to see it. Located at Central and Broadway in downtown Wichita, it was originally dedicated in 1906. They just don't make churches like that anymore!)
The reception was held a few minutes away, at the hall at St. Jude's. Erin and Nate and their families had planned a wonderful day, and things flowed without a glitch. After the dinner, the best man and maid of honor offered some hilarious and heartfelt toasts, then Erin's brother, who was the DJ for the evening, had everyone out on the dance floor with a grand march followed by the "chicken dance".
Congratulations, Erin and Nate! Best wishes for many happy and healthy years together.
