Kami and I have known each other for five years. I’ve watched her blossom from a young, driven, college girl to a young, still driven, but wildly giddy and in-love, business woman. I remember when she first met Chris and have watched their relationship grow over the years. I knew he was something special when Kami hired me to do her senior portraits and asked if Chris could tag along for a few shots.
Kami is from a very, very small town out on the eastern plains of Colorado. A town called Towner, where she spent the morning with her best girlfriends and family getting ready for the rest of her life. We shot in the house Kami grew up in and then walked across the street to shoot in the tiny chapel where most Towner residents attend church. The church itself seats about fifty people, so Kami and Chris opted to have their ceremony at a larger church about 45 minutes away in Eads, CO. Kami and her family worked so hard on this day and I think you’ll agree it’s the most perfect little country wedding you have ever seen.
By the way, I’m trying something kind of new. Tell me what you think about blog posts with no white borders. The images are about 100 pixils larger. I’ve also increased the size of the solo vertical images. Give me some feedback all ye blog readers.
Love love love.
Kami’s home church.
Handmade by her mother:
Oh just you wait, these are only her “ceremony shoes.”
Okay, I love this! Kami’s grandma, who passed away several years ago, left this little, teeny, tiny Bible for Kami which she carried in her bouquet.
That’s her grandma in the center:
This is kinda cool… It was super important to Kami to get married on her parents’ anniversary. This is a shot of wedding bells on Kami’s mom’s calendar in place of Saturday, May 1st.
And finally, the lovely bride:
Loved this moment when Kami’s grandpa came down to see her.
He was so sweet. He talked to every person in that house and asked them their profession, what they studied in school, where they live, etc. He made us all feel at home!
I love this shot of Kami and her mom!
Kami has the most incredible eyes and porcelain-doll skin.
Daddy!
Love Kami’s mom in the background. :-)
Ahh! Kami, you put the gaw in gawgeous!! And yes, I know it’s actually gorgeous. You gotta say it with an accent. Gaw-juss. :-)
Heart these…
Okay, this photograph of Kami’s cousin Misty could, quite possibly, be one of my favorites from the whole day!
While I shot with just Kami for a minute in the church, Jes took the rest of the girls out for some Vogue-esque shots.
LOVE.
And then we headed back outside to meet Jesie and girls and do a couple more shots. Love this action shot!
Kami’s colors of yellow and brown were so perfect for her country-style wedding.
Once we finished up with the girls, Jes and I hopped in the car and drove into Eads to meet with the guys and then go to the ceremony!
