Ghost Town Fearless Bridal/TTD Shoot

After the awesomeness that was the shoot at the Neon Graveyard, we headed out to Eldorado Canyon where the abondoned Techatticup Mine is located at.  Currently the site is run as a tourist attraction.  We were there with two model/brides Miki and Michelle.  I was unable to shoot Miki but I spent some time with the fabulous Michelle and got some great images as sunset loomed.  I want to say a very special thank you to David E Jackson, RLB Photography and Adam Koepke for helping me with the one light at sunset.  Another HUGE thank you goes out to Tim & Jaime of Jackson Photography for their help setting up this shoot and for helping me de-cactus myself.  Yes, I fell into a cactus and had a whole entire head of the thing stuck in my hand.  Which bits are still in actually.  I know you guys are really surprised!  Ha ha!


I had to post the field of cacti that I fell in.


This image is the result of one-light shooting (a light on a stand bounced into an umbrella).  This was taken in the pitch dark.  Not the greatest pic but I thought it was still OK for posting 🙂

  1. Oh my goodness, these are OUTSTANDING Corey. I am totally in love with each and every one – the colors, the light … wow. My absolute favorites are the first B&W with the cacti in the background – it is so magical, and that light is blowing me away – and the first one with that gorgeous green paint. Oh, maybe the sun flare one too! Gosh, they are all just so great!
