When I found out that we would be shooting a wedding in Oklahoma I just knew that we had to explore Texas! Little did I know that we would find the second largest canyon in the country and two of the sweetest souls to meet while there! Louis and Lindsey have been married for a little over 3 years but still have that honeymoon feel when they look at each other! I could not have asked for more adventurous thrill seekers than these two babes, I am seriously when I say that Lindsey went barefoot 90% of this shoot. Even through the jagged rocks and hot canyon dirt… this girl is a trooper (which I loved her for, thanks Lindsey). Thank you guys for exploring with us in the heat, taking the wrong trail at first, and for making our trip that much cooler!
The part that you don’t see are all the wonderful behind the scenes of me being viciously attacked by multiple horse flies. No joke….by the end of it both my legs were speckled with blood from the bites (about 30) from Palo Duro Canyon horse flies which apparently only liked me. Then to top it off I backed into a cactus with my leg and then on a separate but still very much related occasion my finger!!!! If you have not been stung by one of these cacti let me explain in short. Leg was poked… bled, went numb, and then went away after 10 minutes. Finger was poked… bled, went numb, and then ached for 3 hours before going away! While I wish Texas loved me…it definitely did not. But I truly miss it and all of its glory! Palo Duro Canyon I will see you again and I promise to come more prepared next time. ;)
