Jami & Kolton | Wedding

Everybody meet Jami and Kolton! We were fortunate enough to photograph their wedding, and it was amazing. I’ve never seen a couple handle the last minute mishaps of any wedding day better than these two. Everything came together in the end, though. Like I said, it was amazing.

The wedding was held at the always beautiful Stratford Hall in Westmoreland County. Katherine’s parents had their reception on these grounds as well. Good choice. (They were also married by the same man, Pastor Bowen!! Coincidences abound…)

“My super power is drinking.” – I didn’t catch who said that, but it was great.

 Pro-tip: Always get ready for the ceremony IN THE SHADE!

 Kolton had everybody choking up when he first saw his bride to be walking down the aisle. His face says it all.

On the topic of brides, what’s the opposite of a bridezilla? Jami Provencher could be an off-brand soda in disguise cause she is SuperChill. The weather was gorgeous and not too hot, the venue, of course, is full of breath-taking scenery. If you’re not careful, you could very easily lose a groomsman on the grounds 5 minutes before group pictures. That’s a real thing, folks.

We had a blast, and we hope you enjoy the rest of these pictures. 
Congratulations to the newlyweds; we’re praying for many years of peace and prosperity!

 I know, I know, what does this old Japanese man have to do with Jami and Kolton. I admit I took this picture for myself. It was important to me that I remember the chicken with peanut sauce and the man who made it. Mmmmmm.
