Leah. Bridals.
Oh how I loooooved photographing this session. It’s not too often you get to photograph a gorgeous bridal session with a horse. Leah is amazing. She is my cousin’s cousin…I’m not exactly sure what that technically makes us, but let’s just say we’re family. Leah and I are slightly around the same age, with her being younger than I. Growing up, I admit I was a little jealous of how beautiful she is and how talented she is with horses. Leah has been riding horses her entire life! She’s had her horse, Journey, pictured in these bridals, since she was 16.
Leah is an amazing trick rider that performs with a trick riding troupe all over and she was recently a stunt rider in a new movie about trick riding. You HAVE to youtube trick riding. Your mind will be blown! If only she could have done some tricks during this shoot, but I’m sure that would have been slightly terrifying with the thought of the possibility of ruining her wedding dress. Oh well. I photographed Leah’s wedding this past saturday so I’m looking forward to blogging about it! She married a great guy. We did this session in the comfort of her in-laws pasture. You should have seen me on the back of a four wheeler with my huge bag of camera equipment and a bride next to me for this session. It was a sight to see.
[…] Dillon met the beautiful Leah while she was practicing her trick riding skills. He lived next door to where she would practice with her performance troupe. Dillon is such a caring and honest man and would go out of his way to help others. Even when I was photographing their wedding I could tell how good of a guy he was. He was saying ‘yes ma’am’ to me while listening to my direction. I told Leah “Wow, he is such a gentleman”. Leah was like, “Tell me something I don’t know!”. Leah says that Dillon always knows how to make her laugh (no matter how upset she is). He is also an amazing father to his son Cayden. Leah and Dillons hope for the future is to build a home together on a small ranch and begin a family (including some baby horses). Leah is such a sweet and strong woman and deserves to be with such a great guy! You should check out Leah’s bridal session here! […]
