Shorter, AL Wedding – La Place – Christine & Kramer

Undaunted by the threat of hot August weather, Christine and Kramer gracefully took their August wedding date plans in stride. August in Alabama can be unpredictable, and rain and heat are common, but Christine and Kramer’s wedding date was molded around military plans, and they had a wonderful attitude! Thankfully we had no rain on their day and Christine’s historic family home looked ready for the day, itself!

Christine chose such a beautiful dress!bride putting on makeup near windowThanks to the home originally being built without modern AC, the large windows created amazing natural light for Christine putting on her makeup.wedding invitation on wooden floorswedding rings in confetti

Christine and Kramer chose this amazing seed paper to use as the confetti that would be thrown during their wedding send-off. If all goes well, hopefully a small field of flowers will grow where they held their ceremony!wedding bouquet flowers by amanda
