Valley of Fire Part II – Wedding | Virginia Wedding Photographer

Day 2 – Valley of Fire Cactus & Lace Shootout Continued…

Obviously the terrain of the Nevada desert is much different from the usual we see here at our Maryland and Virginia wedding venues. I was so excited for the opportunity to shoot a fully styled wedding as part of the Cactus & Lace shootout, not just because our models, attire and details were so exquisitely gorgeous, but also because of the amazing landscape. The entire day was beyond words – just fabulous – and this portion of the day literally left me breathless. I mean….LOOK at these views!

See what I mean? The Valley of Fire State Park has some of the strangest, loveliest terrain I’ve ever experienced. We had a perfect day, too! Just enough clouds in the sky, and just enough breeze. How did I get so lucky to find myself here? Being surrounded by such beauty and interesting rock formations, I found my creativity really was renewed. I know it sounds a bit cliche, but it is true! The sights and open country were just what I needed after a long winter!

Let’s talk about our models. These ladies and gentlemen really do work very hard for us on these shootouts. Most of the time, they’ve just met, and they’re being asked to portray a couple very much in love on their wedding day. Um, wouldn’t you say they nailed it? And they were such a joy to work with. Thank you for being so friendly and fun!

If I had to pick a favorite, it might have been this set. Every minute of our day was perfect, and amazing in a unique way. I loved the little stone homes, and the details, and can we talk about the furniture?!? I’m sure it was no easy task to lug all that stuff out into the desert! I love the succulents in the details on this one. And the place settings…Sorry, I’m rambling, but why don’t you look for yourself?

  • […] ICYMI: I spent about a week in early March traipsing through the desert in Nevada. I love the desert. Absolutely adore it. There is something wild, and untamed about the desert that calls to me artistically. I love to use that rugged landscape in a juxtaposition to my subject, such as in a high fashion shoot. I had the opportunity to shoot at two special shootouts while I was there, one included this styled glam senior picture sesh put together by Cactus & Lace. (You can see more of the shootouts, including the wedding and elopement portions on my other site, here.) […]
