Song of Solomon Bridal Session

So today I am thrilled to be featuring the beautiful work of Courtney Wilkerson of Twinkling Eye Photography and her spectacular Song of Solomon bridal session! She had a vision to do this theme as a stylized session and it is amazing to see many elements from a book of Scripture come alive...from the countryside setting, to the huge tree, to the olives, figs, pomegranates and flowers.

A few words from Courtney:

The book in the bible, Song of Solomon will always have a special place in my heart and the goal for my heart with this session is to minister to others. My prayer is that these photos would be a visual representation of Song of Solomon and that his love would be poured out into the hearts of all who view them.

Fun fact: this was the first time he saw her that day.

Song of Songs 2:4.

Courtney says: We prayed before the session. Worship music played throughout the night. Scriptures were read aloud during the shoot and the poses were inspired by those words.

Whether you're planning a wedding or not there's some serious inspiration here! Song of Solomon would be an amazing theme for anniversary pictures, a romantic date night, a Bible study, or couples retreat. A lot of these elements would make for a beautiful Shavuot!

Micah and Lindsey are a real life married couple.

"Your cheeks are like pomegranates."

- Song of Songs 6:7

Such a lovely way to incorporate Scripture, and a straightforward DIY. If you don't want to use your handwriting, find a pretty font and print a verse onto craft paper for instant place settings.

"You have stolen my heart, my bride, with one glance of your eyes."

- Song of Songs 4:9

"Like an apple tree among the forest, so is my beloved among men."

- Song of Songs 2:3

"Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples."

- Song of Songs 2:5

Love her pretty hair!

And that boutonniere!

Pepper Sprout Barn, where these were taken, is in Jackson, Georgia.

The floral department was taken care of by Twigs, Leaves, & Flowers.

I love how she incorporated several of the foods and dairy products mentioned in Song of Songs. Something like this would be a fun appetizer for date night or Bible study.

Can a table get any more beautiful? I petition not.

Thank you, Courtney for sharing your amazing vision and serious skills with us! You can see her post on the session here.
