Denise + Thomas Wedding

























Denise and Thomas was my second wedding of the year and a chilly wedding day it was. This was the first time I ever photographed a wedding at Concord Fortress of Hope.

I witnessed two things at this wedding that I have never seen before. First, Denise's bouquet wasn't made of flowers, it was made out of wire and beads in the form of a bouquet. It had to take her hours to make it. Second, the flower girl came down the aisle singing a song that mesmerized all the guests while dropping cut-out paper hearts. My guess is that she couldn't have been no more than 5-years old. She had a voice to die for - personally she could have given some of the contestants on American Idol a run for their money!

Denise, a school teacher in the KCMO School District pledged her life and vows to her hubby, Thomas on March 15. Kansas City is a small world because when Denise and Thomas came to our gallery, I found out that I went to college with his sister. During their wedding consultation, I could see the resemblance between he and his sibling.

Denise has a unique and candid personality which after meeting her, anyone would be drawn to her crisp candor. She's a woman who shoots from the hip and has no problem with being direct. Their wedding colors were champagne, chocolate and gold. Their reception was held at The Arcadian in Overland Park, KS.

Odell and Jana...it's good to see that Denise has tremendous support from her family. I have no doubt that Thomas will take real good care of her. Based on all the "Color Purple" jokes, I take it there must be an inside joke. Denise came and picked up her wedding proofs and she says that was very, very pleased with our work. By the way, Odell, I liked the sport coat you wore at the wedding. Many blessings to you all!!
