June 1st, 2009Strip Photography Tour, WeddingsMario 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!

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!

Now off to the Strip…. I’ve done this shot a few times and I think this is the best one so far.

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…

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.

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!

I’ve been so lucky lately to have beautiful brides and handsome grooms… and a very fun, photogenic wedding party too!
Marnie and Jorge are a SUPER couple from not-too-far from where I grew up (a couple hour drive) so they had that cool “Midwest” attitude; relaxed and laid-back.
For this one, I was also very lucky to have about 1.5 hours PRIOR to the ceremony, so I was able to be more creative with the group shots. For any brides considering hiring me, I strongly recommend to consider extra time prior to the ceremony, especially if you have a nice area for photos. This also helps you get to your reception sooner, and with the typical Las Vegas Wedding Reception being only 4 hours long, this is important.
Another option is to have me bring one of my great assistants, who can be with the Groom while I’m with the Bride, and then the Assistant Photographer can help set up all the formal shots after the ceremony. For this one, it was just me, but I had plenty of time!
Here’s a great shot of Marnie and her wedding party… aren’t the dresses amazing?!??
Typically, with limited time prior to the ceremony, the priority is photos of the bride - but I had time for some really creative poses with the groomsmen!
This one has some extra Photoshop “trickery” that we call “selective focus”. It’s pretty time-consuming but creates a very interesting effect of a very pronounced “pop”, almost a 3-D effect. You’ll want to click this one to see the larger version.
Yeah they were good looking guys, but let’s get back to our beautiful bride! I know I posted a similar shot of Cristina not too long ago, but I do consider this a “signature” shot and this one just had so much great color that I had to post it!
This one was one of the last ones I took before the ceremony, Marnie was so relaxed and calm, I think this photo really captured her emotions!
Now for after the ceremony.. there’s a funny story behind this shot - In our consultation, one shot that Jorge considered a “must have” was something similar to a photo he saw in my demo gallery where the veil was flowing behind the bride. Luckily, it was windy that day (well, at least on-and-off, right Marnie?); it only took a dozen-or-so attempts over the course of 3 hours to get this one. If you are wondering, nobody was holding the veil (during the shot), that was 100% wind and it took a while to get this veil just right - I’m personally not 100% satisfied with the pose (my fault, I needed to tell Marnie to keep the bouquet a bit lower) - but that’s probably my picky side showing!
Ok, one last one - a fairly common shot, I just liked it and hope that Marnie and Jorge do, too!
I truly enjoyed working with Marnie and Jorge - their patience seemed to have no limitations… they had some trying times before (and a little bit during and after) the wedding… jury duty a week prior… food poisoning the day she arrived in Vegas… and some issues with lights (and security guards) at the reception location - but they never stopped smiling and were really “into” each other - and very easy to photograph!

I recently shot a very challenging Vegas wedding ceremony at the Little Church of the West. First, I want to say this chapel is very beautiful and has a lot of history, I would recommend it to a bride looking for a “rustic” type wedding in Las Vegas.
That said, as with almost all Chapels, they are restrictive on outside photographers. The good thing is they DO allow the bride and groom to hire an outside photographer (most don’t allow it at all)… the bad thing is the photographer cannot stand up and must shoot from their seat. So, varying angles and the “best shot” isn’t always possible.
Rodlyn and Alex were OK with this and knew the restrictions. I am proud to say that I was able to capture some pretty good shots of the ceremony, given the situation.
This is pretty much the angle I had during the ceremony so there’s no reason to blog a ton of photos, but the ring shot came out pretty nice:
I got a little creative/artistic with some close-ups and processing, I tried a reverse-vignette on this one (honestly I’m not 100% sure the reverse vignette “works” so I of course will provide 2 versions to Rodlyn and Alex… feel free to click on the Comment link below and let me know what YOU think!
After the ceremony (and a few nice first-kiss shots), I rushed outside to get their exit, and was able to capture this nice one:
We had some time to do some posed shots outside, here’s one of my personal faves…
Then, it was off to the Luxor Buffet where they had reserved a private room and a cake. I was very impressed with the cake, and since I haven’t posted a cake photo since March, I figured I’d show it to my blog readers!
This shot, I know Alex isn’t smiling but I really love the implied emotion, the contemplating, the quiet moment after the ceremony…
I enjoyed shooting with Rodlyn and Alex, and welcome “challenging” shoots such as the one at Little Church of the West. Thanks guys!

November 6th, 2008Flash Montages, Parties, Weddings
I decided to do one more Flash photo montage, this one is for Cristina and Jason’s wedding and for all their friends and family all over the world. Cristina emailed me and was SO excited to show her wedding photos to all her family who couldn’t make it to Las Vegas for the Wedding so I thought I’d put 60 or so photos to a montage as a “little extra” for her.
I like this one because it shows highlights of the entire wedding day, and it’s set to their first dance song. Plus, it shows some of the great surroundings at the JW Marriott Las Vegas that I wasn’t able to post in my original blog post (scroll down 2 or 3 posts to see that one)!

October 19th, 2008Weddings
Photography at JW Marriott Las Vegas is always SO much fun! It is a Las Vegas Photographer’s dream! The grounds are absolutely amazing, with waterfalls, beautiful green areas, bridges over little streams, etc. I work a lot at “The JW” (as we call it in our office), and the DJ’s at D. Jay’s Entertainment are out there often as well.
I noticed that I don’t have a lot of “getting ready” photos on my blog, and many of my brides ask me to cover this portion of their day. Well, we had an awesome room (with amazing light coming in through the patio door), and of course an absolutely beautiful bride, so I thought I’d share some “getting ready” photos!
The natural light from the patio door was perfect for a nice portrait.
The entire wedding had so much color, being outside and with the beautiful blue accents on the dress, but I really felt I needed to provide Cristina with a couple “timeless” photos, and the best way to do that is with black and white. This photo is “overexposed” on purpose to accent her figure and take the attention away from the trees, etc. that were outside the window. It also helps give the photo my trademark “glow” look…
A nice split-tone really accentuated Cristina’s complexion and helped the overall “feel” of this one:
I didn’t really intend on posting any ceremony shots, but I changed my mind
The rings, using my long telephoto lens from about 30 feet away.
We got so many nice after-ceremony shots around the grounds of The JW, this is one of my favorites:
For long-time readers of my blog, you’ve seen this shot before, it’s one I attempt when the veil allows for it, and my brides/grooms always love it!
The big round window in the reception room inspired me to do a silhouette photo, if you squint your eyes just right you can see a heart? See it?!?
Ok, well that’s about 4 more photos than I usually post, I got a little carried away! As always, I thank Cristina and Jason for allowing me to be a part of their wedding day. It was an honor and a privilege!
