Las Vegas Photographer for Weddings and Event Photography TiffanyG

I just had to post this even though I wasn’t the “pro” photographer at this party…

The DJ side of the business D. Jay’s Entertainment was hired to do a big party at the Las Vegas Palms “G-Suite” for a company called Broadsign International. Jeremy called me up and said, “you gotta get over here, it’s OFF THE HOOK”. So I grabbed my backup camera and headed over (sorry for the not-so-great pictures – I didn’t expect to post them here but it was just so fun I wanted to share).

These types of events are really fun, they hired a turntable-mixing DJ as well as a live musician who improvised over the house-style music. What a blast. At one point there were over 350 people crammed into this suite.

Here’s the DJ:

And the live musician:

As Jeremy said, it was “off the hook”… here’s a quick shot I took of the view out of the suite:

Since not all photography is “Las Vegas Photography”, I frequent a lot of message boards for photographers from all over the world where we share our photos and critique each other’s work. Every once in a while I’ll show a photo that my client ABSOLUTELY LOVES, but the pro photogs will absolutely HATE. Usually that’s for very technical reasons…. exposure, flash use, shadows, etc.

Of course, like all Photographers, I strive to take a perfect “technical” picture every time. But sometimes, that just doesn’t happen. What I DO almost always get is the EMOTION… the “moment”. You won’t find me missing a shot because I’m adjusting my flash or the lighting isn’t just right! Photoshop does some amazing things!

Anyway, I was thinking about my personal theory on Photography, as it relates to my work here, for weddings, family, sports, and some portrait photography. I decided that I would write my 5 “goals”, in order, and publicize those goals to my clients and potential clients.

Here goes:

1. Capture the “moment” and the “emotion”. This includes helping the client(s) get into a good mindset so I can get good photos (ie. having fun when appropriate!).
2. Make sure my client will like (or love) the shot. Consult to find out the client’s styles and wants, but push creative/artistic boundaries. Don’t forget about the “must have” poses/photos.
3. Composition/Exposure/Lighting. Understand that good composition (or cropping) and processing can make a mediocre photo/moment into an “OH WOW” photo. While on-location, take a good “technical” shot, but don’t shortchange the client by giving them an unfinished photo! Post Processing can make the difference!
4. Run a smooth and organized photoshoot. Especially with group pictures or with the formal photography before/after a wedding ceremony – the family and guests appreciate a photographer who can (nicely) “take charge” and get the pictures done quickly and professionally.
5. Quality above quantity. HOWEVER, especially with event photography, most clients do want “candid” or “snapshot” type photos of their friends and family. Not every photo needs to be magazine-quality, but make them magazine-quality when it’s appropriate.

Thank you for reading this longer-than-normal blog post. I hope it gives you a bit more insight into my style!

This great couple asked me to spend just 1 to 2 hours after their Valentine’s Day wedding for some nice shots in and around the Bellagio and the Palazzo (the new casino next to Venetian). What a BEAUTIFUL location. J and K were great, if not a little rushed as their entire family was waiting for them to go out for the evening.

We ended up getting over 15 great poses in under 2 hours, here’s a few of them… don’t forget you can click on any image to see a larger version (sorry, they still aren’t high enough resolution to print from):
