"I have always been obsessed with Western Glam style. I found a wedding video from a Western Styled wedding in Wyoming America and thought I’ve got to make this happen in Australia." Kacie - Kacie Herd Photography

When our bride Kelsea turned around to see the biggest bison bull named “Wyoming” standing directly behind her was a classic moment of our shoot day. He was originally in another paddock and was so curious he walked down the lane way into the paddock we were shooting in and just stood there checking us out.

A challenge was that because we were in a paddock of Bison who are unpredictable - anything could have gone wrong. Thankfully it didn’t but we had to keep reminding everyone “they are not like cows.”

I still cannot believe how this styledf Wedding shoot all came about. I first contacted Jorgi at Rural Bride about collaborating & that I wanted it all to be western themed. I mentioned how cool it would be to have the shoot location on a Bison Farm. Knowing that Bison are very rare in Australia, I I told myself I would allow 1,000km for travel if need be. I jumped on google and typed in Bison Breeders NSW and to my surprise the first breeder came up was only 100km from Jorgi and myself! Talk about meant to be, I mean seriously what are the chances?

My favourite detail about the day was the fact that every single vendor involved were such lovely people and wonderful to work with. We all had a vision and every one of us worked together to pull it off. The best moment would have to be when our Makeup artist Doon put on the song “ Wagon Wheel “ and the bride and groom had their "first dance."
