I was so excited when Jilian asked me to do an anniversary bridal shoot for her. Jilian and Kevin have been married for five years now and she wanted to do something that showcased how God has moved in her and how much she’s grown in these past years. We deemed this an “I Still Do” shoot. I love when we can do something a little out of the ordinary and be creative with it!
We all know how stressful and sometimes chaotic the wedding day can be and pictures can often turn out looking forced or unnatural (unless you hire us of course, haha)—because of course we want everything to look just perfect! Jilian wanted a fun and relaxed session that captured her essence, her true self, and what she described as one of the best times in her life. Jilian wore her beautiful white wedding dressed paired perfectly with a jean jacket and being a country girl at heart, we couldn’t forget the boots! She loves the water and wanted to do part of her shoot by the river. It was the perfect place and gave incredible opportunity for creativity. With her artistic eye, we were able to spot some great areas to capture her loveliness. Something about the water creates a peaceful atmosphere, don’t you think?
With autumn in the air, the changing leaves added incredible beauty to the backdrop as well, but somehow does not distract the viewer’s eye from Jilian’s beauty! Her eyes are so captivating! No wonder Kevin married her! I’m so honored that you asked me to do something so special for you! I had a lot of fun with this shoot and I hope these photos are a great reminder of how faithful God is and how much He matters in your life and your marriage. I am so inspired by your five years and I hope there are many more years of growing and joy for you and Kevin!
