Trash The Dress: Rick + Rocio

Posted on September 21, 2009

After their wedding day (and a day off to recover from the party!), Rick and Rocio got back into their formal clothes for a totally different type of photo session. We took them ATV’ing out at Red Sands, east of El Paso on Montana, and we had a blast!

The recent rains in the area washed away some of the tire tracks, and left the sand a bit moist, so we didn’t have to contend with blowing dust. The moisture in the air also contributed to a phenomenon we don’t often see out here – the golden light of sunset started much earlier than usual, and lasted until the sun dipped below the horizon. Combined with the deep rust-red of the sand, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to take photos.

Roz asked Rick to take Rocio out on the back of a friend’s ATV, turn around, and drive past us. Rick apparently enjoyed the ride so much that he took the long way around – and caught air coming up over a rise on the dune! We’re betting he has a quad in his garage before their first anniversary, because he was having entirely too much fun motoring around the dunes.

    Beautiful images Roz & Jason. The best clients are the ones open minded enough to go for it. Great job selling them on it and the photography!
