One of our first locations was to visit the wild Yilki horses of Turkey. It was a short drive from the town where we were, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had visions of wild horses galloping through fields and we certainly had that and a lot more!

We pulled up to park and a lot of vehicles were already there, and people were milling about. And then I noticed that they were brides and grooms and a lot of professional photographers. Apparently it is a ‘thing’ to bring your hired photographer and have your photo taken as horses mill about you. Not sure how comfortable I would feel with the hundred horses or more walking around me. I think a few brides felt the same way!

This particular horse was a popular addition to the images because it would rear on its hind legs while the photographer took photos of the bride and groom. it made for some great shots that's for sure!

I have one image of a foal standing on the bride’s gown as the bride looked on. She didn't look that happy! I'm pretty sure this would be a separate shoot from the actual wedding day as the dust was unbelievable. But then, so was the light.
