{Derby Wedding Photography} Bailey + Michael

At age two, Michael met his wife.

He and Bailey grew up in the same church, but it wasn't until high school when the pair started became best friends and eventually started dating. Three weeks ago, at the church where they met, Michael and Bailey became man and wife.

Bailey started the day at Venus Fly Trap Salon in Derby. SUCH a fun atmosphere!

Michael wore his late grandfather's cufflinks, which was such a special way to remember his grandfather.

The side of the church provided such a perfect setting for their First Look.

After the First Look, Bailey and Michael exchanged gifts. :)

Since Michael is a golfer, we had to incorporate a little golf in the day.

The First Presbyterian Church in Derby is where the love story began, and where they were also married.

Following the ceremony, we stopped to grab the 1928 Model A, which belongs to Bailey's grandfather. He chauffeured the couple around for some wedding portraits in downtown Wichita.

A little vintage feel ... for fun!

The celebration continued at the Mid-America All-Indian Center.

Since Bailey and Michael practically grew up together and the families share a church, the entire day was filled with such tangible joy. Thank you for inviting us to document your precious memories!

Bailey + Michael aren't getting married for more than a year but because they wanted some spring photos, we sat out last weekend to Botanica.

Because Bailey teaches fourth grade, she was immediately drawn to the rainbow entrance to the Children's Garden.

Bailey + Michael have known each other since they were 2 as their families were members of the same church.

Michael will tell you that he's always known he'd marry her although it wasn't until his sophomore year in high school, when she was a senior, that they began dating.

These two are totally smitten for each other. Karen and I can't wait for next June to get here! -Mike
