This year for our annual wedding show, the Wedding Hive had not one, but three fashion shows. These shows featured work by many of our members including: the gown gallery, Ornamental Petal, Scarlett Garnet Jewelry, Genevieve Flynn, Meadowbelle Market, emmy-ray, and Janay-A. Handmade. We were also lucky enough to have one of Kansas City’s best fashion photographers on hand, Jeff Evrard to capture all the lovely looks backstage and as they came down the runway. Thanks to all our designers and Jeff for making our abundant number of fashion shows a total success!
The Wedding Hive is a collective of all types of vendors, but they all have one thing in common, their creativity. We’re lucky enough to have a group with many talents, one of which is Maura Coleman-Murray of Creative Video. She shot and edited (in record time) a beautiful video of our February event. Watch it here and if you like what you see check out all our vendors, and if you run a wedding related business consider becoming a part of the Hive!
When driving through the Crossroads district one can’t help but gander at the beautiful gowns in the window at 19th and Main. The gown galleries new “Bridal Loft” offers their clients an urban feel in a beautiful space, with a view of Kansas City. However they still have the same amazing selection and focus on customer service which helps this bridal boutique stand apart. Along with gowns they offer jewelry, hair accessories, shoes, and anything else a bride needs to feel beautiful on her big day. For your wedding party they also have a wide variety of bridesmaids dresses, mens attire, and something for the little ones with adorable outfits for flower girls and ring bearers. Prom seasons coming up, and the gown gallery isn’t just for weddings, offering dresses in all shapes,sizes, colors, and styles, ranging from trendy and cute, to classic and elegant.
With so many talented photographers in our group how could we not come up with some great shots of our recent show? This first look at “An Enchanted Wedding” comes to us from vendor Sparrow Photography. A big thank you to them for taking and sending us such lovely pics. More to come…
Upon first meeting Maura a few things are obvious, 1. She is charming, out-going, and passionate about her work, and 2. She knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and video editing. Working in the Kansas City area for years with all kinds of couples, Maura also has a background in fine arts and many hours behind both digital video and still cameras, that helps set her work apart. The Wedding Hive has been lucky enough to collaborate with Maura in creating a video for our “Enchanted Wedding” event, and we can’t wait to see what she comes up with.
One only need watch some of Maura’s beautiful HD footage, expertly edited with attention to every detail, to see the quality of her work. In Maura’s words “Telling the story of your wedding day with film and video is what I love, helping you to preserve your wedding memories for your family is my goal.”
Looking for something a little less traditional? Maura can create a Super8 version of your videos, for the couples who want something that is both lovely and unique for their wedding memories.
