On June 19th Monica and Matt had an enchanted wedding and reception at Eberly Farm in Wichita. Flowers and arrangements from Stem's provided an elegant floral backdrop for the evening. Cameo Cakes created a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, and All World DJ provided the reception entertainment. Monica's bridal gown was purchased at David's Bridal, and the wedding coordinator for the evening was Linda, the bride's aunt.
Matt designed and made a wrought iron garden bench with their initial in the center. It was the focal point for their ceremony, held in the pavilion at Eberly Farm. What a memorable keepsake from their wedding!
My favorite part of the day was during the reception, when the sun was just starting to set. The newlyweds agreed to take a few minutes away from their guests for some special photos of just the two of them. We went north of the pavilion to a lovely location with a curving path and trees. Just after we began taking portraits there, the sun shone through the trees with a magnificent warm glow. WOW! Gorgeous bride, handsome groom and perfect lighting all came together for some breath-taking portraits.
Monica and Matt have been dating for about 14 years. Their reception included a poignant slideshow, with photos beginning with the weddings of each of their parents, and continuing through their growing up years, dating, courtship and engagement. In my almost 20 years of photographing weddings, I don't know when I have seen a more perfectly matched couple. You hear the saying, "they were made for each other", but in this case, it is absolutely true! Congratulations, Monica and Matt!
