plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

Back in mid-October, Colorado-based photographer, James Christianson flew out to Cape Girardeau, MO to shoot the wedding of fellow Colorado photographer, Laura Dombrowski.  Oddly enough, I had flown out to Colorado that same weekend to visit with a good friend (who happens to be James’ intern).  Laura is from Missouri, but attend school in Denver and stayed (Yes, I’m very jealous).  James recently posted shots from her wedding (which are gorgeous).  Also sprinkled in this beautiful post of pictures are some shots from Michelle Huesgen of Untamed Heart Photography, who was James‘ second shooter, and a friend of the bride. And, note – this is one picture-heavy post. Enjoy!!

I’m pretty sure that dress is the Romona Keveza I had my eye on for a long time. Love the one shoulder look and the LOVE the ruffles.

The bride and groom opted to do their first look with no one around (which I highly recommend – it gives you two some alone time).

I absolutely love that Laura’s bouquet was a pomander of billy balls!

And, how gorgeous was their ceremony location? It was on a golf course in Cape, and guests were driven out to the hole by golf carts (adorable)!

And, let me just plug the fact that I loved that these two walked down the aisle with both of their parents. Such a great idea.

And, if you’re wondering (because I probably would), Laura is the creator of these fun save the dates!

Thanks to James Christianson and Michelle Huesgen for their gorgeous photos!

So, last week I spent some time in my favorite state (Colorado) with some of my favorite people.  During my time there, I was able to catch up with a great friend and get a look into her passion (photography).  She shared the work of a fantastic Colorado-based photographer and that’s when I fell in love with this.

I would give my left arm to get married there. Actually, I would give both arms and both legs.

In case you’re wondering, I have already inquired with the location regarding future use for a vow renewal. Le swoon (big time).
