Kaya Wedding, Part One: PINK | Itasca State Park, Mississippi River Photographer, Bemidji MN

Last month, I had the awesome privilege of photographing this gorgeous bride and groom, along with their bridal party. I learned that making EVERYTHING by hand results in several beautifully crafted gowns, ribbons, jewels, and head pieces. AMAZING.

Christina was the most becoming bride in her hot pink dress. Zosim stood out as the groom in his sharp pink shirt, too. The bridesmaids wore a gold color and the groomsmen wore a gold color with khakis.

Again, I am so happy I got to be a part of this special week! Congratulations for EVER, Kayas!!!

♥ Tribute to Weddings, Part One | A Wedding Song | Amy Kate :: Bemidji Wedding Photographer

I’ve decided to work on documenting the beautiful weddings that I have been blessed to be a part of. Here is the first installment 🙂

The better you know me, the more you understand that I AM IN LOVE. I know that my husband loves me with a pure, gentle, and giving love. I know that he is going to continue providing more than I can ever ask for or imagine. Together, we have a joy that comes only from our relationship with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Tim and I have the love, mercy, and justice of our God. HE is everything to me and Tim. That is why our love for each other can be as beautiful and gracious as it is. 

We strive to love one another unconditionally, just as we are loved. A hymn by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty, In Christ Alone, beautifully portrays the foundation that my husband Tim and laid our marriage on. Here is that song.

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied –
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine –
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
