Davetta & Bob - Scottsdale Arizona
Formal wear on a hay ride? Surely they were kidding.
This was one of the more unique and enjoyable weddings we've been a part of in a while. I would totally recommend this experience to anyone wanting some authentic southwest style. I'll admit I didn't know quite what to expect. I was sure it would turn out fine in the end but I just wasn't sure.
This was absolutely charming. Brett from Brett's Desert Adventures runs this quaint rustic ranch about 10 miles north east of Scottsdale AZ (read: "the middle of nowhere"). This is actually some of the most beautiful landscape in Arizona (well, the desert that is the central valley anyway).
So we loaded up on a pair of horse drawn wagons and took a 40 minute ride even further into the untouched desert. Stops were made along the way for cowboy poetry and humor. Brett is the real thing. A stop on some jetting rocks for a short ceremony followed by a sunset ride back to "the ranch".
The cowboys left in charge manged to cook up - and I'm not even kidding here - one of the best meals I've ever had - over an open fire. It doesn't get any more authentic than that. Salmon (and I'm picky about my salmon) cooked over an open fire, rolls like you've never tasted - you can't buy food this good. This is probably the best "unknown" wedding spot in the valley.
Anyway, a big "thank you!" to Bob and Davetta. We had a great time going along for the ride.

ur still a stud. i heard you might be doing a friend's wedding...
Kevin I just HAVE to ask, were you just using the radio popper and only one speedlight on the shot third from the bottom of this post because that fill light is awesome! No way would my iTTL Nikon SB600 remote slave speedlight work on these bright conditions at all. This is giving me ALL SORTS of ideas for dealing with Australia's super harsh sunlight!
geenmantle: Actually, we used the old stand by of stretching an off-shoe cord into those shots. My assistant's hand is photoshopped out of them. lol. Didn't have a working RadioPopper at this wedding, but it's stuff like this and making shots like this possible that has driven me on that project.
Thanks for the complements! There are some awesome Aussie photographers - some of the best in the world I think.
