Last night Kari+Mike celebrated their union with a beautiful wedding at Texas Old Town in Kyle. Now that the deed is done, I am so delighted to get to share Kari’s beautiful bridal session we shot in areas very dear to her heart. Kari grew up in the Killeen/Belton/Temple area and wanted her bridal session to reflect her love of the country as well as the tone of her wedding. With coordinating colors for her wedding decor, her bouquet would be the perfect, sunny accent to all of the lush, green places we were to shoot at.
We began our session in Belton at the home of the president of the University of Mary Hardin Baylor, a personal friend of the family. She loved the large pillars and elegantly manicured lawns -as did I.
Next, we hopped a fence (very impressive in a wedding dress) and utilized this truly Texan barn. And were visited by a few friends…
A special note: The country hat and veil was worn by Kari’s mother at her wedding and Kari wore it yesterday during her ceremony.
These gentle giants trotted over from grazing nearby and made such a lovely addition to Kari’s country scene.
Finally, we drove to Salado -such a choice location for shooting- and made use of just a few of the beautiful locations this sweet town has to offer.
This little lane is a favorite spot of mine. The avenue of trees, the pretty white fence -it’s just lovely, especially for bridal portraits. So vibrant.
We walked to the greenbelt along the river. The very same area where Mike proposed to Kari -incredibly special.
Are You A Country Bride?
I loved how Kari chose locations that were not only special to her, but also complimented her wedding style. The portraits she ordered and displayed during the reception paired beautifully with her decor making the perfect accents for not only her celebration, but also for display in her home. Stay true to yourself as you’re thinking about your wedding. That will ensure you have gorgeous photos you’ll want to see around your abode every day for years and years to come.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend and Congratulations, Kari+Mike! It was a joy being part of such a priceless time in your lives!
