When Chloe contacted me about photographing her & Derek’s engagement session at the Valley of Fire, I just assumed it was because it’s a pretty and unique location.  Of course, it totally is a gorgeous location for photos, but to them the Valley of Fire made them think of Radiator Springs. Yes, Radiator Springs from the Disney/Pixar movie Cars!  You see, these two are huge fans of the movie and of race car driving!  Derek even had a cute custom made Lightning McQueen box by The Model Maker for her gorgeous engagement ring designed by the talented jewelry designer, Heidi Gibson! 

So we excitedly we set out to capture the essence of Radiator Springs in our very own Valley of Fire State Park! Enjoy the images from Chloe + Derek’s fun-filled Cars inspired engagement session!
