Real Wedding: Kristi and Jason's Portraits

I hope you have enjoyed the gorgeous photos from Kristi and Jason's ceremony and reception this week! They are such an amazing couple that it is hard to express their joy and celebration in a few photos and text. I love the way that Travis Duncan captured all of their special moments and I especially love their portraits taken right after the ceremony in Dogwood Canyon Nature Park!

Real Wedding: Kristi and Jason's Ceremony

While the details and overall design of this wedding still make me giddy, the sincere and unashamed love that this couple shared was simply flooring. Words cannot describe the level of emotion during their woodsy chapel ceremony. Their story is one for the history books, and looking back on their photos, I am truly honored to have been able to witness their union.

Jason waited on his bride for longer than most fellows will endure.  He waited through other relationships, through life-changing accidents, and then finally he received the acceptance and return of his love from Kristi.

This family affair was nestled right in the heart of the Ozark Mountains at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park and Big Cedar Lodge. With settings such as thirty-foot waterfalls, a mountaintop lakeside view, and fall foliage on the tip of its turn, it was easy to bring their vibrant inspirations to life. Enjoy the photos from their ceremony and stay tuned for more from their reception and portraits later this week!
