I thought that I’d heat things up a bit with a short little post about a groomal session shot about 90 minutes west of here in the world famous – and toasty – Bonneville Salt Flats. It is a truly surreal place, but also a perfect backdrop to shoot the story of M’Kenzie and Derek.

Its a story as old as time: One man. One woman. One sweet 1960′s British sports car. Add salt to taste.

Ah, I feel warmer already. Now where’s that contact lens….

For the most discerning bride, the Allard J2 is the ultimate accessory.

I’ve been asked this about a hundred times so I’ll go ahead and anticipate the question – yes that’s really the sky.
I’ve underexposed it and pumped the saturation a bit, but that’s it.

Thanks guys!

When I saw her dress from Alta Moda Bridal I knew that I wanted to do something dramatic with her bridals and I thought that a bit of desert would suit her heritage and contrast nicely. She was totally down with a bit of adventure, so an hour and a half of driving later, we found ourselves with near perfect sky conditions. We had thought that the trip would only take 30 minutes, however, so by the time we got there, I had to work fast to make the most of the 20 minutes of light that I had remaining! It was probably not my most relaxed bridal session, but its one of my favorites so far this year.

Thank you, Dana, for putting up with all of the craziness! I think it was worth it.

The wind kicked up, tussling hair…

…and billowing out the train of her dress.

Green-eyed, and windswept and sexy as hell.

This b/w is groom David’s favorite!

On the way back, we stopped by an old derelict motel. They had no vacancies, so we just used it as a backdrop. [Dana swears that the place is haunted] Fun with lasers!

I threw this one in just as a sneak peak of their wedding post…stay tuned…
