Deanna Sammons Photography: Joe and Jaime Bourne...Wedding Day

A beautiful figure skater meets handsome pro hockey player at the Lake of the Ozarks. Their wedding day exactly 4 years later to the date, back at the lake was just as beautiful! The theme; Romantic Garden of Butterflies and roses on the Veridian patio at the Lodge of Four Seasons.

Jaime's favorite gift was a crystal bowl that was given to them by Joe's grandmother that Jaime and her grandma picked out just days before her grandma passed away. (Just 8 days before the ceremony.)

Jaime describes her day as a blur except for the few moments leading up to the actual time to become man and wife! Her word of advice; "When you get married, take time to reflect on everything that has led you to 'the big day'. Take a deep breath and take it all in while you have a chance. Afterall, love and commitment is what got you here in the first place, not the big production. WE are blessed that our friends and family traveled from long distances to see us commit to one another in holy matrimony and wouldn't want it any other way. The only thing that matters is that Joe, Jaime & Ashton (Jaime's son) are all joined as one and are one BIG HAPPY FAMILY! "

Joe said his favorite moment was the first look of Jaime in her dress and the breathtaking beauty she was in just moments before she was his wife!

Jaime said "Thank you to all that made this day special and thank you Deanna for having the gift of dealing with nervous and irritable brides. You are a God send! "
