Running of the Horses [Rf Photo of the Day]

Photo © Jelger and Tanja

Vancouver-based photography duo Jelger and Tanja photographed this adventurous wedding couple at a ranch in Ashcroft, British Columbia. For Andrea and Eoin’s portrait session, the newlyweds strapped on their boots and rode gracefully through the prairies on their horses in full wedding attire. (You can see the full gallery here.)

After a short break, the couple came back out for one more shoot. That’s when this epic moment was captured. “Jelger had his back towards the horses as they ran from one field to another,” Tanja notes. “Every night the ranch holds a ‘jingle’ where the horses run through the airstrip—a narrow passage that leads from their day pen to their overnight pastures. The horses get excited and they race through the strip, which is where Andrea and Eoin—both former wranglers—had positioned themselves.”
