Wedding Photography Las Vegas Little Church of the West Wedding Chapel – Jim and Nikki

I’ve done wedding photos at Little Church of the West several times. They are really nice over there, since they do let “outside” photographers into their Chapel (that’s not the norm in Las Vegas). There are some restrictions but we work within those and get some nice shots.

For this shoot, I decided to treat Jim and Nikki (an AWESOME couple that came all the way from England!) to a “theme”. Since the Little Church has been around since the 1940′s, and in “Las Vegas History” that’s almost the “Old West” times – I decided to process the photos with a very “Old West” theme. Yes of course they get the “regular” ones too, but I thought it would be cool to do this theme.

Here’s a few from the series, don’t forget to click for the larger size and to see the details like the film grain, etc.:

Obviously I didn’t do ALL of the photos in that style… Nikki is a beautiful red-head with amazing blue eyes so I had to do at least one shot that really showed off those features:

And here’s the two of them on the grounds of the Chapel:

Then we hopped in the limo for a Strip Tour. Jim had this cool hat and I had an idea… old Vegas “Sinatra Style”! I found some old pics of Sinatra and they had this highly-saturated, greenish-tint (sort of a Lomo look) so I emulated that for this photo.

And that was all good until Jeremy took it a step further in post-processing. The Zumanity sign really detracted from the photo, and he wanted more of the early 1940′s Sinatra look (since that’s when he first played Vegas). So he did a simple Antique look, and added a lot of film grain… but he also did something else… look closely!

Anyway, we thought it was fun!

Then it was off to the Venetian for a bunch of photos. I really liked this one.

And finally, whenever there’s something that is special to my bride and groom, I always try to get some photos (obviously!). Rings, of course.. but for this one there were cuff-links. These were given to Jim by his grandfather (posthumously) specifically to wear at his wedding.

I have to say, I really enjoy working with ALL  brides, but for some reason the ones that come from Europe are especially fun. Jim and Nikki were no exception – I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them and their entourage. And I know the feeling is mutual because of the great email that they sent after seeing their proofs! Thanks guys, and congratulations!
