Carefree, Arizona- Photography Conference.

A week and a half ago Peter and I returned from a photography conference in Carefree, Arizona which is about 30 miles outside of Phoenix. Peter had a hard time remembering the name of the town, so often called it "Cozy Town". The conference was put on by the Digital Wedding Forum, which is a place that us wedding photographers can go to learn more about our craft. We learned so much at the conference, and had a lot of fun too! The photography community here in Nashville is really great, and a whole group of our friends from here made the trip to Carefree also. The first few photographs I'm going to post are from some practice shoots out in the desert.

This is one I grabbed of Mindy, of Phindy Studios, one of our room mates for the week.



Peter grabbed these two of me:



One night a group of us decided to do a night shoot in the desert, which was actually very cold. Here is one of my favorites I grabbed of Chris Scott.


Peter took this one of Mindy & Phil:


Even with all the seminars we went to, we still had time for some fun and hanging out. Here's some of the guys hanging out at a certain rock in Carefree :)



Our last night in town, the whole group from Nashville (minus Chris :( ) hung out in the McLellan's room. You can see in the photographs that we have a lot of fun together!

Angela seems a little disturbed at whatever Andrea is laughing at!


Serious.


The whole group.

From left to right:
Mindy & Phil Thornton, Angela Disrud, Mary Crow, Andrea Hallgren, Sean & Melanie, Adrian Hitt, and then of course us!

hey great post! i love that shot you grabbed of Mary Claire laughing, that was a fun night, we really should do that again soon but not fly 1000 miles to hang out with other friends from Nashville.

Phil & Mindy
