1. This one is absolutely the MOST important: Does the photographer provide recent samples, and does the style/look of the photos match your tastes? If you like her/his photos overall, don’t worry if you don’t like ALL their demos - understand that a photographer should customize the photos to each specific bride, so you may not like ALL their demos. However, make sure your photographer will customize her/his style to you!
2. Do you get along with your prospective photographer? You’ll be spending the most important day of your life with her/him… if you don’t really LIKE your photographer, then you won’t look your best in your photos - attitude matters!
3. Is a 2nd photographer/assistant available, at least for your ceremony? A second angle and extra photos is many times worth the extra cost of having a 2nd photographer for the ceremony. What about photos of the groom and his friends pre-wedding? You’ll have tons of “getting-ready” photos of you (the bride), but will your prospective photographer be able to take photos of the groom? If not then consider a 2nd photographer - one that has experience with the unique poses and more laid-back photography of the groom and his party. There’s really no need for a 2nd photographer at your reception, so make sure you can have the 2nd photographer at the times YOU want!
4. Flexibility: Will your prospective photographer customize her/his packages to exactly meet your needs? Does she/he provide a “shot list” at least for the formal photos? Can you add to the list? And here’s a big one: If you notice that the photographer limits the number of locations or charges extra for a location change, then it’s a sure sign that he/she is difficult to work with (or set in his ways).
5. Prints: Are they important to you? If so then make sure you compare packages that include prints - however, prints within a photographer’s package are EXPENSIVE. It’s oftentimes best to make sure the package includes the disc of high-resolution images with printing rights so you can print your own 4×6, 5×7 and 8×10 prints (the truth is, the quality of these smaller prints is about the same whether you have them printed, or if you get them from your photographer). 11×14, 16×20 and larger sizes (including Canvas prints and other large prints) should be printed by your photographer.
6. Disc-of-Images: If your photographer does NOT supply a high-resolution disc of images, then he/she is living in the 1990’s and will then charge you as much as $30 for EACH print that you’d like to buy later on. The days of $10 4×6 prints are GONE - do not settle for a photographer who will want to sell you $1000 or more of prints after your wedding. Very simply, you should know well before your wedding day how much you are spending on photos. If you have to worry about extra charges after your wedding, that’s one more thing to worry about (and you don’t need that!) Also, it’s VERY important to know exactly what is included if your photographer includes a disc of images! Some photographers will supply low-resolution versions (that will be pixelated and low quality if you make prints). These are only good for computer viewing. If you want to make your own prints, make sure that you get the “high-resolution” or “full sized” photo files. Make sure they are provided without a watermark, and that you have full printing rights.
7. Price. Notice this one is last on the list, but it’s still very important. Very simply, if your prospective photographer fits the other 6 requirements, then price shouldn’t matter. If you can’t afford her/his price then you’ll need to find another photographer that meets all (or most) of your requirements.

December 28th, 2009Bragging
I’m so excited… we just added FOURTH and FIFTH National Awards in just the last three years! D.Jay’s Entertainment and TiffanyGPhoto has earned the 2010 Pick for Best of Weddings in Las Vegas from TheKnot AND the 2010 Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire! These 2 awards are based solely on bride recommendations and voting and are 2 of the 3 most prestigious awards for the wedding industry (as voted on by brides).
This marks the SECOND time we’ve won Best of Weddings from TheKnot. It’s also the SECOND time we’ve won the Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire.
The WeddingWire award is only given to the Top 5% of Wedding Vendors in the entire USA, and to win it TWICE is extremely difficult. It does prove our dedication to perfect customer service and high-quality photography and DJ services. When other companies claim to be “the best”, we don’t need to claim it- our brides shout it from the mountaintops!
I’m excited to be YOUR wedding photographer, so if you are getting married in Las Vegas or in surrounding states, please give me a call via my office at D. Jay’s Entertainment, 702-643-3529.
The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 for Wedding Photography and Wedding Disc Jockey!

August 1st, 2009Engagements, propose in las vegas
Michael had a great proposal idea in Las Vegas… he set it up so he could propose at Lake Las Vegas! Jeremy was there to capture the moment in pictures. Esther was completely surprised, since he arranged it with her friends to take her “to a party”. Of course when she got there, she found something different!
I really wish I could post about 30 photos from this wedding marriage proposal but I had to cut it down to 13. Michael wanted Jeremy to be out-0f-sight the entire time so these are almost like “spy photos”. They were taken through a window using our zoom lens, from about 100 feet away.

Isn’t there supposed to be a party here?!? And what’s this little bride figurine?

The card asked her to sit down…

…then to stand back up, at which point Michael appeared.

I am sure this moment is the exact moment she finally figured it out, as Michael starts going down to one knee…

The entire time, Esther never looked down at the ring… here’s her first good look at it!

Now the emotion comes out, I think it finally hit her, and she finally said “yes!”

And of course we had to do one posed shot of the ring!

Congratulations to Michael and Esther, they are now planning a wedding for early 2010. We’d love to be able to work with this great couple for their wedding!

March 26th, 2009Engagements
I had the pleasure of working with Ricky and Jennifer a couple weeks ago for a 1-hour basic Engagement Session down at Lake Las Vegas. We battled wind and very bright sun the entire time but they were troopers! I think this couple really compliments each other and they seemed to know what each other were thinking (already! Heck it took Jeremy and me 15 years to figure that out!)
As I post this, Ricky and Jennifer haven’t even seen any of the photos yet, so I picked out my 8 favorites and did some work on them. I hope you guys like’em!
This is one of the first photos we took after we found a little shady area. Oh, I forgot to mention they brought their little dog who was SO cute and well-behaved!
(clicky-clicky for larger versions!)

Betcha you didn’t know there is a beach in Las Vegas!
This one is small and has man made sand but hey, it’s a beach!

Jennifer is absolutely beautiful!

Ricky ain’t so bad either… here’s one where he’s trying to show a little attitude. Dig the shades!

Here’s another focus on Ricky.

And the two of them together overlooking the lake:

They were wearing such bright colorful clothese that I hated to do much black/white processing but these two shots just begged to be made ‘classic’. This one I added a slight touch of “film grain”, so it would be a bit Casablanca-like.
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
I am always torn as to which photo is my favorite, but I’m pretty sure this one is… (and no, Ricky, it’s NOT because your face is covered!) The reason is because Jennifer just looks like she’s in Heaven - she’s just SO happy and naturally beautiful!
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
We ended up with just short of 100 photos in this shoot. I know that’s not as many as I normally get in a 1-hour photoshoot, but there’s a LOT of walking from place-to-place at Lake Las Vegas. Thank you Ricky and Jennifer for allowing me to work with you!

January 20th, 2009Engagements, Family
Jeremy and I spent an hour with Will, Cherry, and their two wonderful children (remember, we don’t post names of kids on our blog) yesterday. They are an awesome family! Their son is just 5 years old and is quite the camera-ham! Their daughter is absolutely beautiful and took a while to warm up, but we got some very good ones of her too!
Will and Cherry are getting married next month and we’re really hoping to earn their wedding-day business… as part of the Bridal Spectacular, we offered them a FREE 1-hour engagement session so we could get to know them better. It seems that we all get along very well so we’ll see!
This blog will be a mix of Engagement photos and Family Portrait/Family Photography. As with a lot of our private sessions, Jeremy and I work together; he is usually the one clicking the shutter and I use my “eye” to find great locations and poses… We had a blast working together for this short (1-hour) shoot:
This photo was only the 4th “click” of the day - and it was hard to choose between the first 4…

Now, mom and dad… the processing on this one is called “Summer Haze”, and we did our own tweaking to it.

Off to the playground…

Of course Will and Cherry hopped on, too!

Walking to the next location, Jeremy caught the kids playing around a yellow pole. Amazing how a great “eye” can see an interesting shot, huh?

This park (almost) has it all… waterfall, fun playground, a cool brick wall, bridges, etc. These 3 shots (obviously) are from the brick wall area…

Off to the bridge, and the little guy was clowning around - this one is actually not posed at all… just his reaction after the camera was pointed at him.

Lots of color at the park but we have to get a few black-and-whites in… here’s one of them.

Now it’s time for the love-it-or-hate-it photo. The famous (infamous?) “bobble head” shot. Like it or not, it’s FUN and loose.
Las Vegas Family Portrait Photography
Then we made our way back to the waterfall area for some sunset-type, posed family shots. We looked up and saw an amazing sunset - and got this photo:

Thanks to all 4 of you for an enjoyable hour! Can’t wait until this Sunday where you’ll see all 175 or so “keepers”!

What a great couple! We’re shooting Tiffany and Travis’ wedding in October and their package included an Engagement Session. They really wanted to go up on Mt. Charleston to “play in the snow” and we were all for it! What turned out was an hour at a local park, then a jaunt up to the mountain for another hour. So, with 70 degree weather at the park, and 30 degree weather and snow on the mountain, it turned out to be one of the most “varied” shoots we’ve done!
A photo style we call “natural habit”, meaning not posed and using a zoom lens to do our best to capture our subjects being natural. Make sure you click on the photos so you can see the larger versions!

Two more:

A neat posed photo, the last one that I’ll post from the park (we got over 100 there), because … well you’ll see why!

We got up to the mountain and found there wasn’t much snow, and what snow there was, was hard-packed. Tiffany doesn’t look TOO cold, does she?
Beautiful Bride at Mt. Charleston Las Vegas Photography
Jeremy and I always argue about the “cold tone” processing. It obviously enhances the blues and makes the photo look “cold”. It’s a really neat effect but obviously with wedding photography we don’t get much of a chance to use it! Well, if there was any time that it was appropriate, it was for these two shots:

Don’t worry, Tiffany and Travis get both versions (normal, and “cold tone”). Here’s a photograph we love, probably one of our favorites from the shoot:

They wanted to get pictures having fun in the snow, so how about sliding down the icy hill?

By then, the sun was going down so we had to rush to the other side of the mountain to catch the sun setting. We were a little bummed, about 5 or 10 minutes past “prime” time but I think they still came out pretty good:

And I know we do this shot a lot but this photo came out so nice… (and yes, Travis.. the “other one” came out very nice too).

Overall we’ll end up with around 300 “keepers”. And we can’t wait for October to be able to work with Tiffany and Travis again!
What the hey… BONUS PIC! Neither Jeremy or I are “landscape” photographers and we had the wrong lens on for this one, but it’s still pretty cool!
