And That's a Wrap

This shot was taken during "the golden hour," says Adam, "where the sun is just perfect for about 10 minutes, 20 minutes at the most, right before you lose it. Everyone looks beautiful in this light."

"The sparklers are a real nod to the Fourth of July," he adds, "but what you don't see is everyone standing around them with fire extinguishers—just in case. You have to be really careful in the desert."
