Arizona Weddings Magazine

We spent the better part of three months trekking around the state to find iconic Arizona locations to feature the top contestants in the Miss Arizona Beauty Pageant 2010. We traveled south to Tombstone, Tubac, then back to Phoenix,Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, The Superstitions, and Glendale, finally finishing up in Sedona. Adam and I would go a day ahead of the crew and models to scout, then get everything set up and ready for their arrival.

Several of our scheduled shoots were canceled due to rain and snow, but we persevered and made it happen. The Sedona location with Brittany Brannon, and transportation by Pink Jeep Tours, was probably the coldest day of shooting, thanks to fresh snow and a howling wind. Brittany worked under the most extreme conditions of the project, and never once lost her smile.  All of our models were fantastic to work with, and for some it was their first time.

We'd like to thank Arizona Weddings Magazine for allowing us the opportunity to create these beautiful images, and continue our long friendship with the magazine. To see more, please visit our Facebook page.
