Boulder City Wedding Photography: Jackie & Jesse

Weddings are such unique and beautiful things. The personality of the couple can really shine through in their choices of decorations, flowers, and location. The dusty roses, delicate greenery, and touches of burlap showed Jackie & Jesse as a very down to earth and loving and cute couple. I was looking forward to shoot this Boulder City Wedding Photography.

The Location

We did our shoot at two locations. The first was when Jackie was getting ready at the Best Western Hoover Dam Hotel, located at 704 Nevada Highway in Boulder City, Nevada. After that, the wedding was held at the FORGE Social House, located at 553 California Avenue in Boulder City, also. This seemed like the perfect location for the bride and groom to hold their ceremony. They had such simple yet elegant decorations that did not take away from the beautiful ceremony. Instead, they enhanced the love and dedication of the couple. The natural scenery outside created the perfect backdrop for the couple and family photos. It was very enjoyable doing Wedding Photography in Boulder City.

The Shoot: Boulder City Wedding Photography

Weddings can be very emotional, and this one was no exception. I am not sure there was a dry eye in the place. Jackie and Jesse each have two children, a son and daughter, from previous relationships. The ceremony wasn’t just about bringing two people together, but two families. These two were creating something big and special with their love and commitment. It was so very touching to witness.

Blending a family together isn’t always so easy, yet Jackie & Jesse seem to have done a wonderful job. It was so fun being able to photograph both the parents and the children during this special day. They were so very handsome/pretty in their formal wear.

Boulder City Wedding Photography is a little more laid back and relaxed than that of Las Vegas. It’s a calmer, and mellower atmosphere than the glitz and glamour of the glitter in the Las Vegas valley. It was so great to be able to shoot a beautiful wedding for such a cute and wonderful couple. You have something very special with each other. I wish you all the best in your bright and happy future together.

Flamingo Hotel Wedding Photographer | Gerardo & Veronica Wedding

Weddings are such a time for celebration. Two people coming together in order to pledge their love to one another. There is always something so beautiful about a wedding, no matter how big or mall it is. I was approached by Wedding Officiant Dawn Angela Mickens from Timeless Connection about being Gerardo and Veronica’s Flamingo Hotel Wedding Photographer. They set the date for October 14, 2017. While many places across the country might find that October is a bit cool for an outdoor wedding, Las Vegas’ climate provides the perfect temperature for this sort of thing.

The Location

The wedding took place at the Garden Gazebo at the Flamingo Las Vegas’ Garden Chapel. There are many beautiful locations there but the Garden Gazebo is idyllic. Surrounded by palm trees, it felt as though the wedding was somewhere far from the Las Vegas Strip in a tropical location. It most definitely didn’t seem as though we were in the heart of a bustling city. The flowers framing the gazebo gave a beautiful backdrop for the couple.

About the Shoot: Flamingo Hotel Wedding Photographer

The wedding itself was incredibly romantic. Family and friends were gathered in this secluded corner of the garden to share in this beautiful occasion. Gerardo and Veronica were both positively beaming with their love for one another. It’s hard not to feel the love and joy that was in the air. The bride was beautiful in her slim fitting wedding gown. It was incredibly fun to photograph Veronica getting ready with her bridesmaids. They were all smiles and excitement. The chosen flowers were lovely red roses, which helped add to the romantic atmosphere.

Annvi Fuller from Bridal Beauty Team did a wonderful job on the bride’s makeup. While the bride is so very beautiful on her own, Annvi was able to accentuate her natural beauty in a way that seemed timeless. I am so very thankful that Dawn contacted me to do this photo shoot. I wouldn’t want to miss being able to be the Flamingo Hotel Wedding Photographer for Gerardo and Veronica’s beautiful ceremony. It was an absolute pleasure.

Caesars Palace Wedding Photographer: Jamie & Darrin’s Wedding

Some couples have their own unique style and flair when it comes to getting married. Many choose to go the traditional route and get married at a chapel, church or beautiful outdoor location. Jamie and Darrin decided to celebrate the fact that they met in Las Vegas by getting married in the popular Hangover Suite in Caesars Palace! Not many couples choose to get married in a suite, but I think this was the perfect idea for these two. Jamie and Darrin are both a wild and crazy couple that obviously love to have fun and enjoy life. I have to admit, as a Caesars Palace Wedding Photographer, I never thought I would photograph a bride and groom with a stuffed tiger.

The Location

The Hangover Suite at Caesars Palace located at 3570 South Las Vega Blvd, Las Vegas Nevada 89109 was a very unique choice for a wedding. The suite was made famous by the blockbuster“Hangover” movie. It featured a tiger hanging out in the suite when the guys awoke the next morning. They were unaware of what happened the night before. The suite has a magnificent view of the Las Vegas Strip and is very large and luxurious.

About the Shoot: Caesars Palace Wedding Photographer

Jamie and Darrin originally met in Las Vegas. They were really excited to be able to have their very special wedding at the same place. Darrin has two great kids from a previous relationship, but Jamie seems as though she fits right into her premade family quite well. It’s easy to see from the photos that this couple wasn’t too worried about being traditional with this wedding. They were all about having fun and enjoying their very special day together.

Having everything located right in the suite made photos a breeze. In addition, the entire ceremony was a delight to be able to photograph. I don’t think many wedding photographers can claim they have shot a wedding in the Hangover Suite! Thank you so very much, Jamie and Darrin, for allowing me to be your Caesars Palace Wedding Photographer. Here’s to many, many more years laughing and having fun together!

Las Vegas Wedding Photographer: Bethany & Marco

I have been lucky enough to be able to document the beginning of Bethany & Marco’s life together as their Las Vegas Wedding Photographer. I met the couple through Steph Ann from Lush Event Productions for their engagement photo shoot about a year ago. On October 21, 2017, I had the honor of photographing their wedding and the reception as well as a few fun snapshots at the beautiful Sunset Park.

The Location

We did our Las Vegas Wedding Photography in three different locations. We started first at The Church: Christ The King Catholic Community, 4925 S Torrey Pines Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89118 for the wedding ceremony itself. The church was so very beautiful and elegant.  After, we moved to Sunset Park: 2601 East Sunset Road, Las Vegas, NV 89120 for some fun pictures. Last, we made our way to Conference Center of Las Vegas, 5pm-7:45 pm: 6590 Bermuda Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89119 for their reception.

About the Shoot: Las Vegas Wedding Photographer

It’s always so much fun to not only photograph a couple’s engagement shoot but the wedding as well. It’s beautiful to see a relationship develop and grow over time this way. So much can change in a year, and it’s wonderful to be able to see it through from engagement to the exchange of vows. Bethany & Marco were such a great couple to be able to photograph. Both were so extremely kind and a joy to work with.

I wish nothing but the best for Bethany & Marco in their long and beautiful life together! Thank you so much for choosing me for your big day.

Tasha & Michael Wedding Photography in North Las Vegas

From the very first email I received from the bride, Tasha, about doing her wedding, I knew that I was the right photographer for her and Michael. We walked through everything she was looking for on her special day and, through it all, she was truly nice to speak with. We spoke about which wedding photos she wanted and about the location itself. With this in mind, I was really looking forward to doing their Wedding Photography in North Las Vegas.

The Location

The wedding took place at the bride’s sister’s home in scenic North Las Vegas. The ceremony took place outdoors.Some very tall and stately trees created a great backdrop for the photos of the couple saying their vows at the altar. The arch wrapped in floral garland and white fabric was lovely. Having the wedding at this location seemed to be an excellent choice, as a result everyone was incredibly relaxed and having a lot of fun.

About the Shoot: Wedding Photography in North Las Vegas

Family and friends and even a few pets were in attendance and memories were made that day. The bridesmaids were loving the ability to share on this special day with Tasha and Michael. The colorful bouquets were a blast of color against all the gorgeous whites and purples of the wedding party. Smiles were abundant that day and we all had fun capturing the ring reactions photo.

Prior to the wedding day, Tasha and I spoke over the phone to go over the timeline for the wedding. She told me she felt as though she already knew me, which was very nice to hear. I always want my clients to be comfortable, especially for something as momentous as a wedding day. I make it my goal to truly capture their vision for this very special day in their lives. These memories will be shared, hopefully for generations and I am always honored to be chosen to do this for couples. Thank you, Tasha and Michael, for allowing me to be present at such a beautiful wedding. I couldn’t have chosen a better location or couple for my Wedding Photography in North Las Vegas.

Wedding Photography in Las Vegas – Eddy & Yesenia

Wedding Photography in Las Vegas – Eddy and Yesenia

Wedding Photography in Las Vegas is always so fun to shoot, especially with a couple as sweet as Eddy and Yesenia. Their wedding took place on March 18th, 2017. I was lucky enough to photograph two events for them. We did the bridal party pictures at the Smith Center, and the wedding reception took place at the Conference Center of Las Vegas. The decorations at the wedding were beautiful. The event planner was Lush Event Productions,  and they couldn’t have done a better job. All of the floral decorations were done by Mylofleur Floral. The cake was delicious, it was a gourmet wedding cake baked by Las Vegas Custom Cakes.

About The Couple

Eddy and Yesenia first met in their dance studio. Yesenia had been attending the studio for three years when Eddy came in. After they went on their first date together, they knew they had something special. The sweet couple has been together since May 22nd, 2016. The proposal was very romantic. It was close to New Years, and Eddy said he wanted to have a family activity with everyone skating at the Cosmopolitan Casino. Yesenia thought nothing of it.

They skated a bit while waiting for everyone to arrive (even though Yesenia wasn’t a great skater). Shortly after, Eddy’s brother yelled something to Yesenia. He said: “hey Yesenia, when are you getting married?” She turned and replied, “I don’t know, ask Eddy!” When Yesenia went to point to Eddy, she found him on the floor on the ice on one knee, with a ring out. Eddy proposed to Yesenia right then and there, and of course, she said yes. As they hugged, Eddy turned Yesenia around so she could face all her friends and family who had been hiding until that moment. It was such a romantic and fun proposal for Eddy and Yesenia.

Overall, everyone I met at the wedding was extremely nice. I had so much fun working with this couple. They even surprised everyone with a dance! These are the type of people that make Wedding Photography in Las Vegas so heartwarming to do.

Wedding Photographer in Las Vegas: Kaila & Ethan

Kaila and Ethan recently had an amazing wedding ceremony at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, NV. Their wedding took place on Saturday, January 14th, 2017. They hired me as their Wedding Photographer in Las Vegas to take photos on their important day.

Kaila and Ethan Pre-Wedding Story

The young couple have been together since December 2013. Their first date was when Ethan took Kaila to lunch at a local bagel shop. On June 4th, 2016, they got engaged. Even though they both went to Northern Michigan University, they didn’t meet there, and they never knew each other during school. Kaila met Ethan when he was a Greco-Roman wrestler training for the Olympics. Kaila graduated with a Biology degree, and a passion for all animals- specifically parrots. She got a job offer as a parrot caregiver at Best Friends Animal Society, which was in Utah. Ethan would do anything to be with her, and he proved that by giving up his job as a corrections officer, leaving his family and friends, and moving across the country to be with Kaila. Before the wedding, they hired me as their perfect Las Vegas Wedding Photographer. My mission was to capture their love they have for each other. Ethan said that wherever Kaila is, that’s where his home is, and it doesn’t matter where they live.

More About Kaila And Ethan

This beautiful couple loves to travel together, and try new things. They especially love trying different ethnic foods together. Ethan is obsessed with the Green Bay Packers, while Kaila could care less about sports. Ethan proposed to Kaila on top of the Bunting Trail in Kanab, which overlooks the town. As they were standing there taking in the scenery, Ethan told Kaila that she will never get lost with him (the back story behind that is that one time when Kaila went hiking by herself, she got lost in the cliffs), and Ethan asked her to marry him. Of course, Kaila said yes!

Soon after that, they started planning the wedding, booked me to be their Wedding Photographer in Las Vegas, and got married in the new year. I wish them happy life together!
