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!

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)!

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!

I do a lot of the photography at the Texas Station Hotel/Casino Chapel and many times the bride and groom ask me (or one of my assistants) to cover the wedding reception as well. Melanie and Johnny also hired D. Jay’s Entertainment to DJ the event.
Here’s the happy couple after the ceremony, complete with skin re-touching to make them look their best:
Here’s an interesting tradition… a “dollar dance” or “money dance” with a bit of a twist. Money is stuck on this little girl and presented to the bride and groom. How cute! I did some “radial blur” on this photo to focus on the girl and to show action.
One thing I always try to do at my Vegas Weddings is get all of the guests in one big shot. This isn’t always possible since it’s hard to get everyone out of the reception area and find a place for a big group shot. But, this party was so good, people stayed to the very end (thanks to Jimmy who did a GREAT job keeping everyone dancing and having a good time). So I asked everyone to come out to the hallway for a group shot, probably the largest group shot I’ve done in a long time:
Thanks to Melanie and Johnny for letting me be a part of your Las Vegas Wedding and Reception!
