My beautiful friend, Megan, rocks. She lets me drive her around aimlessly and photograph her.
For about a year now I’ve wanted to do a shoot at a location I drive by often. It’s an ancient abandoned motel that has fallen in on itself and is all overgrown. It’s right on the highway. Megan agreed to wear her wedding dress for me and go do a very gritty shoot there…. We piled in the car and drove the 20 or 30 miles to get there and tried to find the road to get to it from the highway. Well, it doesn’t appear that there is one. We drove and drove and drove trying to find a way to get there, zig-zagging our way through the country taking old roads in search for the magic one.
When we suddenly came up on the town about 15 (or more) miles from there we realized that we’d made a few wrong turns.
We are going to try and figure out a way to get some information about it and get back out there soon. On the way home we did come across a collapsed farm and house, so jumped out and shot a few. We decided to save the wedding dress for when we do get into the motel. I like the tough photos we got. Megan is the best person to photograph…she’s natural and comfortable in front of the camera and knows how to move and pose to give a certain ‘look’. I am sure it comes from her past in acting.
here are a few from our excursion…which was incredibly fun despite not getting our motel shots.
