Pam and Cheyenne wanted to have their engagement shoot at the bamboo gardens at the Jacksonville Zoo. I love the zoo, so I was excited to be shooting at the zoo again. It was a gorgeous day, but man… was the sun bright! We found some nice patches of shade in the bamboo and made some nice images. Then, we decided to head out on the dock and rock it “high fashion” style. Hard light, extreme angles, sunglasses, and the works. Here are some images from the shoot.

These turned out fantastic Thomas – especially considering it was that blazing mid-day sun.
What a fun place for a photo shoot! Love the sunshine, I can almost sense the warmth through my screen
Love the shot on the bridge over the water. Great job, Thomas.
