It has been a whirlwind of a month here in the studio. All the while, we have been anxiously anticipating the arrival of WPPI and the photo shoot we’ve been organizing out in the desert! We were blown away by the response and had over 30 photographers come out and participate in the fashion shoot out on a dry lake bed just outside of Las Vegas.
Hands down it is one of our favorite places to shoot. With miles of desert in each direction and nothing but amazing mountains in the background, our models just popped and they really brought the heat! Brittanie and Tomas were our bride and groom (remember their wedding at the Chart House in Dana Point?) and our new friend Kate was our high fashion model. Despite the bitter cold and gusty wind, they all did so amazing and definitely made it a time to remember. Thank you all so much!
Erin and I also have to give a big shout out to Pixel2Canvas, the sponsors of our shoot! They gave away huge discounts and a free canvas to one of our attendees; thank you Roxanne and Corina for your generosity and support! Our walls would not be beautiful if it weren’t for your amazing canvases!
Finally, we have to give our thanks to Dara Cobb, the designer of the gorgeous hair accessories you see on our female models. She is days away from launching her online store where brides of all tastes and styles can get their heads around her amazing creations! Ladies, if you are getting married, make sure and check out her store and blog HERE!
This entire shoot was a first for Erin and I. It was definitely a learning experience and we’ve taken away so much! We can’t wait for the next time we can bring a group of amazing photographers together and have fun together doing what we love!
While everyone’s blogs are already filling up with fantastic images, here are a few that Erin and I caught during our time out in Vegas. Thank you again to everyone who helped make this possible and to those who gave so generously of their time and talent to bring this whole day together!
