What I loved about this shoot, is that after looking over the pictures I found that John is only looking at the camera in a few pictures. In all the rest, his eyes are locked on Jennifer. He is captivated by her. I love that. He’s captivated by everything about her. Every time I look at their pictures, I can’t help but see an incredible image of Christ’s love for us as his bride, and be overwhelmed by the fact that he is so intently and perfectly captivated by his church. He is captivated in deep and abiding love for us that we are drawn right back to him, just as Jennifer is with John. She see’s his adoration and love and knows in the most incredible way that she is safe and secure.
We started out in a small barn at keeneland, snagging sweet intimate shots with some pretty epic soft light spilling in. They were so natural together.
Prepare yourself for what is below…
Pretty incredible right? That was just the first 10 minutes of shooting, I knew I was in for some great stuff right about then.
I love when I get a picture in my head before a shoot, and it turns out exactly like I envisioned it (below)… but better 🙂
After I got way more than I expected at Keeneland, we went over to the Kentucky Horse Park for some classic Kentucky portraits with a few of the hairy friends that our state is so well known for.
The horse below may have slobbered on Jennifer just a little, but it’s just his way of saying hello. She’s the one who asked for horses. LOL
Then we went off to one of my favorite places. Hillenmeyer Nurseries old building makes for some great shots with cool color, texture, and depth. A little of the old gives the new some interesting flavor.
John really wasn’t that shocked by the ring… he knows he did a good job 😉 ^^^^
