Kevin Keith Photography : Kansas City Wedding Photographer

First, I want to apologize for my blog neglect! I am so mad at myself for not being able to keep you all updated. I have some beautiful weddings that I really want to share with you and I will have them up soon.

Speaking of beautiful weddings, this was one of the most beautiful weddings I have shot. I just love Vietnamese weddings! I have shot a few of them now with my friend Eric of Ericson Photography Studios. He asked me to come down to Wichita to shoot Lan and Michael's wedding last weekend. I am so glad I did. The Vietnamese have a lot of tradition with their weddings. They start off with the groom and his groomsmen entering the brides house and exchanging gifts with the bridesmaids. The gifts are red tins filled with vegetables and foods for the feast followed by the traditional roasted pig. It is exciting to watch the whole ceremony. At the brides house the groom will see his bride for the first time and they do a ceremony with exchanging of gifts and introducing the families. Then later in the day they have a traditional wedding ceremony at the church followed by a 5 hour reception. The wedding goes all day but I love it!

Lan and Michael were a beautiful couple. Lan looked stunning in her many dresses. Yes, she changed about 5 times throughout the day. She also got up at 4am to do her hair and they were both still going strong at 8pm. I got some amazing shots of them together. They had the ceremony and the reception at the beautiful Botanica Gardens in Wichita. Congratulations Lan and Michael! These are some of my favorite shots from the day...
