We had the opportunity to travel to Page, Arizona to attend the Adventurers Workshop, hosted by Maddie Mae and The Hearnes. It was an incredible learning experience and not to mention the scenery was gorgeous. I’ve heard a lot about Arizona, and I knew there were a few key spots… but EVERYWHERE we went in Arizona was gorgeous. We drove through Phoenix, a land covered in giant cacti, then Flagstaff, where it was snowing. Our last stop, Page, Arizona. We were surrounded by red rocks and stunning desert-like landscapes. This Arizona elopement was fueling us all creatively. Traveling is a breath of fresh air and inspires us every time.

While attending the workshop, we got to hike through some slot canyons and photograph two different couples. In Horseshoe Bend we got to experience the snow which made it even more epic. I even shot video for the first time! Alternating roles within your own team and crew gives you a real appreciation for everyones skillset and strengths. Collaboration over competition is the goal. It’s such a great opportunity for growth and humility.

This whole experience was unforgettable, from the knowledge and information shared from Maddie and Abbi to the real experience we gained shooting an elopement… we truly gained a lot from this trip. Christian and I are looking forward to all the possibilities for DBW moving forward and any additional elopements we are blessed to book.
