When I discovered that Autumn and Brian’s all-time favorite thing to do as a couple is taking road-trips to explore the world (they have seen almost all the of U.S. and Canada together), I couldn’t wait to play it up a little in their trash the dress photo-shoot! They also love visiting the national parks while traveling from place-to-place. In their 5 years together they’ve been to over 100 national parks across the country – from California to their home-state Colorado to Florida’s everglades. So for our location it was only fitting that we explore one of Las Vegas’s treasures, Red Rock Canyon National Park!
We also incorporated a fun “road-trip” theme for some of the shots. What better way than cruising through the mountains in a red mustang convertible!
Autumn was looking stunning in her Oleg Cassini wedding gown…
A+B: Thanks for an amazing day, for being up-for-anything and rockin’ it out in the Vegas heat with me! I had so much fun with you guys. 
Cara made Nathaniel a skinny black tie to match with his outfit for the shoot. I loved the knit hearts – such an adorable little touch.
Nathaniel plays in several bands and collects punk and garage singles. So as a little prop he brought along an issue of his favorite magazine, Ugly Things, all about sixties garage bands. And Cara rocked a copy of Knitting for Dummies! Minus the desert backdrop, this is exactly how they can be found in their free-time - Cara with her knits and Nathaniel chillin’ with a good magazine.
Harvey and Dennise, however, never got tired. And neither did we. We stopped to have hot dogs, starbucks, dinner and drinks – and then kept going after that in the rain… at 1am… So it became a bit of a marathon shoot and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
