"The couple got married the day before hurricane Gustuv made landfall in Louisiana in 2008," Karen says of the newlyweds portrayed here. "It was a traditional Klan ceremony, with vows exchanged in front of a fiery cross, performed at a remote hunting camp in the middle of a nature preserve. The bride was dead-set on taking her wedding portrait with cypress trees in the background, so she put her husband and me on the back of an ATV and took us on a death-defying ride to find the perfect spot."
