Downs After Dark

For the first time in history Churchill Downs has opened its doors for night time racing. If you have not been out to experience night racing at the Downs then put on your favorite dress/pants and head out the doors tonight. Churchill opened it's doors after hours for 3 separate nights - this being the last. It's such a unique experience. The above photo was taken last week from our box seats. What a view! I hope Churchill Downs continues to hold it's night races in the future. You never know Keeneland might just start catching on to this trend. How amazing would that be? Hey guys head on out and support the horse industry.

As for me... well, I am off to the races!

Kentucky Horse Park prepares for the 2010 World Equestrian Games

On a recent shoot for USDF I was contracted to photograph some of the new buildings at the Kentucky Horse Park. Folks, if you have not been to KHP in awhile you are in for a real treat. The New Rolex Stadium is truly amazing. I am willing to bet that It will knock your socks off! This new stadium is nothing less then a work of art. I had the privilege of photographing the first Rolex to be hosted in this stadium this past April. I have several other images to accompany this one so If you are looking to license these images just contact me at info@jennifermunson.com. Please do not copy!

In May I had the honor of photographing my dear friend Hayli Strickland's wedding. Hayli and I met at Eastern. We were lab partners in our Astronomy class. When we both showed up on the lawn at EKU with a large stack of flash cards in our hands to study- I knew we were going to become good friends. That is exactly what happened.

It's such an honor to be hired to photograph someone's wedding, especially a good friends. A wedding photographer experiences a wedding in such a unique way. We become almost as involved as the Bride & Groom. We have the privilege of capturing all the details of the day as well as the emotion in everyone's hearts...

Hayli and Steven... thank you so much for making me a part of your special day. Thank you for trusting me to capture the magical moments of your life.

I also want to thank my very talented friends who joined me on this journey. Kelly Brown of J.A.Y.S.Photography. All your endless hours of research and attention to detail made the wedding day go seamless. Your photographs are as beautiful as you are. Danita Rogers of Danita Rogers Photography.
