Portia and Sebastian
Crow Creek Mine
We here at Ambience Photography are so thankful to have the kinds of clients like Sebastian and Portia. These two and their family and friends are down home, sweet as pie, funny as comedians… just the kind of people you’d want to spend an afternoon hanging out with. We are so lucky they invited us to do so!

When I met up with Sebastian, he was just about to open a gift from his bride: a gorgeous new belt buckle to go with his amazing country style wedding attire. Pretty classy!

Meanwhile, all the girls were over in Grandpas cabin getting ready. Portia’s daughter was in love with her mamas wedding gown. Actually she adores everything about her mama. What a sweet relationship those two have.

Portia’s son led Sebastian to his mom for their first glimpse. I love the use of the cowboy hat to hide his eyes!

Since it was the day before the Fourth of July, the colors were very patriotic!

Family is so hugely important to these guys. I just love the special relationships that these two have with all of their parents… but I especially loved these.

When the little ones came down the aisle, Portia’s daughter was shy and hid behind her brother. It was so cute.

Then the two knelt for a blessing from Portia’s parents.

The Star Spangled banner was played and there was so much respect and honor for our nation… I saw more than one tear.

It cracked me up how her son hid his eyes with his cowboy hat! Don’t want to see mom kissing!

At the end of the dance, Sebastian gave his mom a kiss and a tear rolled down his cheek. So much love.
