More photos from the Palm Springs outing… there were probably 10 or 11 model brides but I really only stuck with two or three…. they were just too gorgeous to move on 
! I wish I would have had time to photograph more of the girls, but here are some more of my favorites from the models I did get to spend some time with!

These are gorgeous shots Katy!
What did you use for off camera lighting?
These are fantastic! I think the last one is my fav.
Thanks guys
Melissa – I was using my handy elinchrom skyports (wireless flash triggers) with my 580 speedlite set on manual. The lighting was super harsh (it was mid-day) so I thought a little off camera flash could be fun! Let me know if you want any more info about how I set it up, but it was pretty simple!
Your images of Jessica turned out GORGEOUS!!! She is going to love them
It was nice meeting you out there Katy! Wish we had a chance to talk/shoot together more though. Hopefully another time. Anyways, awesome job w/ lighting Dominique!!! Thanks for sharing the technique. Did you have a diffuser on the speedlite and was it pointed directly at her? I wanna play around w/ off camera lighting more.
Lovely work Katy, all of them are strong, but 5 really grabs my attention – nice focus, whimsical pose in a perfect location. loving the light you are bringing to these of course!
Ooo… Katy, those are awesome shots! I was just wondering about the lighting and glad that Melissa asked. What do you (or maybe some of you can help) think of using a reflector vs an off camera flash during the day; which is better?
