Exploring

Teppo & Veera - Mine Engagement

in ,

We don't always get a chance to go exploring and find an epic location for photos with our couples, but fortunately we had some engaged friends coming for a visit so we decided it would be sweet to take the time and plan for a pretty cool photo trip. The following photos were taken in an old, abandoned mine on the Quebec side. The size of the cave, the crystal clear ice, the icicles hanging down (and hanging up?) all made for such a great morning enjoying winter.

Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon - Definitely one of my favourite places in the whole world. I've always wanted to explore along the edge and see the sun rise or set at the Grand Canyon. Well.. we got to see both the sunset and the sunrise the next day. After driving from Vegas we arrived just as the sun was setting. We then set up camp in the dark and I took off with Teppo, Veera and Katriina to try some night portraits by the canyon edge. The next morning we got up early and explored the canyon edge and watched the sunrise before heading off to Horseshoe Bend.

This is one of the night portraits I was talking about. i was hoping to get an exposure of the canyon as well as the stars but the stars didn't really do what I expected them to as far as lighting up the canyon bottom. We ended up turning around and doing some light painting with a LED panel.
