During our time in Nashville, our sweet friend Kim hired us to take some photos of her parents as a gift on their 30th wedding anniversary. We showed up at their home unbeknownst to them under the pretense that we would be taking some general shots of their property. After walking around for awhile shooting some of their super cool old barns, Kim brought her parents outside and let them in on her secret. Ben and Sylvia had not had a real photo session with just the two of them since their wedding day. What better reason to take pictures than celebrating thirty years of marriage! Although it was cold and wet out we got some really great shots of them around their home. They live in the most fabulous old farm house built in the late 1800's. I love everything about their place. There are three barns on the property with horses and scenic mountain views all around. We had such a good time with these two. They really are a perfect example of true, lasting love. Thank you Kim for surprising your parents with such a wonderful gift, and thank you Ben & Sylvia for being such great sports when your daughter ambushed you on your anniversary.
Here are some of my favorite shots. We can't wait to come visit you all again in the summer!
