Las Vegas Wedding Photography with Conney and Hoover at THEHotel @ Mandalay Bay

Before I tell you how cool Conney and Hoover are, I have to brag a little bit: I got some new toys! I’ve never been a “studio” photographer… it’s just not for me. However, lately my wedding photography clients and also some corporate clients have been asking for “portraits”. That would be more formal stuff, with a backdrop, etc. etc. Previously, I’d been using on-camera flash and it was “ok” but not up to my standards. So, recently I was able to purchase two off-camera strobes, umbrellas, soft box, stands, a giant battery, wireless transmitter/receivers, etc.

I have to say, the clarity, lighting and overall look of my “portrait” photos have improved an amazing amount!

That said, let’s talk about Conney and Hoover and their wonderful family. They hired me to attend their pre-wedding event (the day before the wedding). Originally it was planned to possibly do a Strip Tour or some outside shooting, but it evolved into a simple in-suite portrait session with their extended family. For brides and grooms whose familys just don’t have many “formal” photos, this is a great option. You get bridal/wedding photography AND family portraits all in one session!

I made everyone “suffer” though formal shots for a while… here’s some of those. Note: If the images look “fuzzy” to you, you’re probably using FireFox and have your “Zoom” set to larger than normal. Fix this by clicking on the photo! Heck, everyone should click on the image to see the larger image anyway! Plus you get to see my new plug-in that displays the photo in cool Flash-based pop-up thingamagig!

Got a bunch of formal Bride and Groom shots but wanted to show this one, classic B/W processing…

Then, Hoover pulled out his “paparazzi pose” - which started off our more “fun” portion of the night:

You really didn’t think I could spend ALL the time taking the formals, did you? Sisters!

This one took them a little out of the expected area for photos (hence, the leaves in the top-left) but the shot was hilarious so I wanted to show it!

Had a blast at this event, even though it was just supposed to be a “simple” portrait session. Being Las Vegas, we had to get just a little crazy, and Conney and Hoover were the perfect, FUN couple to do it!

lol….I enjoyed the photos very much. Quality seemed very sharp and focused. The little introduction was great and the picture selection was awesome. You really captured the personality of both Conney and Hoover (playfulness and loving character) well. My favorite picture is the last, showed sibling goofiness, love, and a bit of rivalry. Overall, great job.

You did a great job capturing the energy that Conney and Hoover both have. They are young and fun not stiff and boring. I think the pictures are great!

That last picture is priceless. I loved it. Hoover is so smitten by Conney - does he even know he’s being pulled left and right like a rag doll? He has such a goofy smile on him. I can’t wait to see the rest. =)

I was heartbroken and crestfallen that I could attend Conney and Hoover’s wedding. I am a long lost friend of Conney’s from our high school days in Alhambra, but now I am living half way across the world in Korea! It was SUCH a pleasure to view these photos. I absolutely LOVE that you captured the personalities of Conney and all those she loves. These pictures are more important than you probably realize and they will bring joy to many more than you may have imagined forever more. Thank you for capturing this moment in time. If I EVER tie the knot, I will make sure to give you a call! - Mitzi

We had such a good time. Tiffany and Jeremy was so much fun to work with. They were so good at suggesting wonderful poses and allowed us to put in our own artistic flair. My family can not be happeir with the photos!!!
