You may remember Jesse and Katy from their Engagement Session back in February. Well, their wedding FINALLY came! Katy was a radiant bride, so happy! Jesse was handsome as ever!
The wedding ceremony was at Lakeside Weddings which has an in-house photographer so my shooting during the ceremony was somewhat limited – but I think we got some nice shots.
This one is processed very “warm” to match the mood:

Awww, the first kiss!!

We had a little, but not much, post-wedding time (like less than 5 minutes), here’s a couple…

The reception was at a private residence. Jeremy and I were able to get a bunch of group/family photos and we also took a tour of the grounds with Jesse and Katy (thanks to all their guests for their patience!). A few of my faves:

Processing is a bit over-the-top but you may remember that Katy likes creative processing.. this one has a split-tone, with some extra contrast added, and a bump in the black-level and a warming filter.

And finally, Katy’s parents make an appearance in one of my long-time standby photos… this one doesn’t always “work”, but it did here!

Hope you enjoyed this sample from Jesse and Katy’s Las Vegas wedding photos! Katy, just so you know, we DO have some selective-color stuff for you that we are working on… and there’s over 700 more photos for you to see soon!

Evert and Zenia came to Las Vegas with 2 different goals: Zenia’s goal was to help Evert have a great birthday weekend. Evert’s goal was to turn Zenia into his Fiancee!
Evert proposed in Las Vegas at the Bellagio, at the Picasso Restaurant which is right down at water-level with a great view of the fountains. Jeremy was the photographer for this event.
Some scene-setting photos, including a photo of a very expensive Picasso painting…

Zenia finally realizes there’s a photographer covering the proposal!

Then it was off to the Las Vegas Sign – here’s a standard photo.

Big congrats to Evert and Zenia for their engagement! We hope you come back to Vegas (or, bring us to California!) so we can shoot your wedding too!

If Jennifer and Laz weren’t Ohio State fans, this would have been a PERFECT event! 
(Inside joke, I’m a huge Michigan fan) Seriously, though – they are a great couple with a great group of friends and family.
Angel Park is another great wedding location. It’s a golf course with a beautiful clubhouse, great food and great service. And, there’s a lot of nice areas for photos.
So, on with the pics! Don’t forget to click to see larger versions.

This one was processed with my new favorite – “Film”. Yes, digital photographers still want to get the look of a film photo (sometimes). The great thing about digital is that you can do a film-look if you want to, but you aren’t limited to ONLY film-look!

Pre-wedding with Laz – just a fun shot.

Obviously there are a ton of wedding ceremony photos, I just thought this one was interesting and different than what I normally post.

A great reception with DJ Larry from D. Jay’s Entertainment followed, and fun was had by all! Congrats and thanks to Jennifer and Laz!

Well, it’s 2:30 am here in Las Vegas, on an early Tuesday morning, and I’m in the process of moving all of my 12+ month-old images to a new “archive” hard drive, since both of my 1-TERABYTE (that’s 1000 gigabytes) external backup hard drives are FULL*. Before I did this move, I compiled some statistics…
Over the last 16 months, I have personally shot 107 Las Vegas Weddings, Engagement Sessions, and Proposals (and 1 in Chicago!). My assistants (and Jeremy) have shot an additional 56 photography events in Las Vegas.
At those weddings in Las Vegas (and the engagement sessions and marriage proposals), we had a total of 76,718 “keeper” photos. Now THAT is a LOT of photos! What boggles my mind is that either Jeremy or I edited and processed every single one of those photos!
I am busy… but I want my clients to know that I do remember each and every one of you! I can look at a few photos from an event and tell at least 3 stories about the happenings of that day – as a matter of fact, if you are a past bride, reply to this post and I’ll reply with a good story of my memory of your wedding!
I love wedding photography in Las Vegas. And as my past brides know, I get personally invested in every event. I consider each and every one of you a friend. And I thank you (again) for letting me be involved in your wedding day!
* For you techies, or if you are wondering how safe your images are, here’s what I do to keep your images safe:
- During events, I change memory cards every hour. This limits the (very very slight) risk of a memory card failure. I am proud to say that in the last 16 months I have lost only 40 images (out of 96,718) to memory card problems. I tell you this for a simple reason: most other photographers WILL NOT tell you this. Rest assured, the chances of losing photos is VERY slim – but I am constantly taking every precaution to limit the losses IF it were to happen.
- I “dump” my memory cards to our photo editing computer IMMEDIATELY after each event (even if it’s 2am).
- One the photos are “dumped”, I create my Lightroom Catalog and then BACK UP the catalog and all the images to TWO SEPARATE HARD DRIVES. At this point, there are THREE copies of your photos.
- One hard drive is kept at my house, another is kept in a secret location, and the “main” set is on the computer is in my office. So for me to completely lose your treasured photos would require THREE hard drives to fail/get stolen/etc. at the same time. This is next-to-impossible.
- Your images are kept for 12 months on the 2 backup drives. Then, once an event is 1 year old, it is “archived” to our new 1.5-Terabyte drive and removed from the 2 backup hard drives. The archive drive is kept in a locked, secure, and fireproof location.
Well, that’s what I do to keep your images safe! Hope you enjoyed all the details!

Mario and Micky had a beautiful ceremony at St. Jude’s in Boulder City and then we did a Strip Tour with the entire wedding party. St. Judes is absolutely amazing, but small, with tons of color. So for this shoot I decided to process high-saturation and bright colors. I think this also matches Micky’s personality…
This first photo is after getting ready at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. Yes, I know I do this photo a lot but hey, if the brides love it then give them what they love!

Mario and his wedding party… Lynn shot this one.

I’m pretty sure that Lynn caught this one (there are 1400 photos from this event, I got a similar one but this one was better). CLASSIC (and priceless!).

The new happy couple! I post this with no offense to Mario but he’s not much of a “smiler”. I was VERY happy to get a nice, genuine smile in this photo!

It’s hard NOT to smile with all these beautiful women posing around you! Mario is really cheesin’ on this one!
Photographer in Las Vegas
Now off to the Strip…. I’ve done this shot a few times and I think this is the best one so far.
Photographer in Las Vegas
Surprisingly, this is NOT posed. The guys were waiting while I was shooting something else. This is one of the very few that I processed differently – I saw “Rat Pack” and “Classic Vegas” in this photo so I desaturated the colors and gave it a classic look. What’s funny is that I’ve spent several minutes “posing” similar photos to LOOK un-posed, but these guys just naturally made this near-perfect shot!

Some dreamy couple’s shots…

This one begged to be made into a “chocolate” black and white. Plus we love to give variety of processing…
Las Vegas Wedding Photography
Ok, admittedly there’s a few technical posing things wrong with this photo but something about it makes me really like it. I think the weird “lean” that Mario is doing is a perfect compliment (contrast?) to the loose and fun pose for Micky. This is a love-it-or-hate-it shot. I love it but I’m sure many will hate it.
Las Vegas Wedding Photography
What a crazy day – shooting in 3 different locations with a HUGE wedding party. Mario and Micky were awesome, though, and the day was mega-fun!
