Our favorite moments from 2014!

2014 was filled with some of the most memorable events, learning experiences and some of the most beautiful events we have been able to be a part of in our career. We have added new staff, many new clients, we joined the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, joined the Knot.com. We had the great honor of providing decor for the Annual meeting feature Condolezza Rice and even update our logo thanks to Tessa Konen, owner of The Royal Script. were nominated for the Small Business Award this winter after going through one of the busiest Fall seasons yet! We are so thankful to have gained more fans/supporters who have encouraged us and promoted our work along the way.

While 2014 was amazing in so many ways, we did encounter some road blocks that allowed for some great opportunities for growth. We have a strong team and without them we could not have made it through  our Fall season. An emergency back surgery for me(Ashley), would not have even been possible without the leadership, patience and organizational skills of Aharon Hoopes. We learned a lot about what we were capable of in those two months and mostly how to handle difficult situations under immense pressure.

Aharon Hoopes-Lead Coordinator and EBA Manager

I am exceptionally thankful for a year to learn and make ourselves better for our clients and vendors. What a blessing it has been to produce over 40 events and know that in most of those events we have done, we had exceptionally pleased clients. We do everything we can to ensure that each and every event goes as smooth as possible!

The EBA team is looking forward to an even better 2015; serving some of the sweetest clients yet, while growing in ways we didn't dream possible. We get to launch a special event that will take the wedding industry in Wichita and Kansas City to the next level! So...here's to 2015!!!! To all of the adventure ahead of us, all the ways we will be challenged to grow and to the dear people we will have the honor of working with to ensure the best memories possible!

We are also pretty excited that one of our favorite colors(Note our logo!:) is the color of the year....MARSALA! Make sure you check us out at the January Bridal Show for some gorgeous inspiration.

So without further hesitation, here are some of our favorite pictures from our events this past year!

Vendor Highlight-Skyler Livingston Photography

We have had the pleasure of working with Skyler and his wife on several weddings now. They are one of the best photog teams out there! Learn a little more about him below! 

1. How many years have you been in business and what was the passion behind starting your company?

 I photographed my first wedding 14 years ago but became more serious when my wife and I had our first kid 7 years ago.  I wanted to be able to do something I loved that allowed me to work with my wife and to be present in my children's lives.

2. What is the best piece of advice you can give to clients?

 The best advice I could give in regards to wedding photography is hire vendors that you like.  If you’ve been in a bridal party you know that a bride and groom spend a majority of their wedding with their vendors. Just like choosing the friends you want by your side on your wedding day you want to choose vendors whose company you enjoy, who you trust, and who will help your day be more fun and less stressful rather than the other way around.

3. What is your favorite part of what you do?

  I love working with people, I love the the whole idea of marriage, and I love capturing the emotion of the bride and groom when giving solemn vows.

4. What is your greatest challenge?

 Because we live in a digital age every owns a camera on almost every device they carry.  My challenge at weddings sometimes is competing with "Uncle John" for space so that I can deliver a product that is perfect and non obstructed of the Bride and Groom.  Some of the best weddings I have been to are the "unpluged" weddings.  Basically the bride and groom let the wedding guests know that they have hired a professional photographer to photograph the day and that the guest can just enjoy themselves without the stress of capturing every moment on their phone.  As wedding guest it is so nice to live in the moment rather then capture the moment.  That's my job, and I love it!!
