Here’s brand new photos of a Las Vegas Marriage Proposal! This is SOOO cool and Diante is SOOOO romantic! He called us a week or so ago and explained that he JUST decided to propose to his girlfriend – and he wanted me to take photos of the proposal!
I had made a post a while back about proposal photography which is a new trend.
Anyway, they came into Las Vegas on Saturday and I spent 1 hour with them. Usually I’d follow the couple around using my telephoto lens (spy cam!) and then the propose-er would make a signal, I’d get closer and he (or she!) makes the proposal. Well, Diante went right to it… their limo arrived at Bellagio just before the water show, and just a few minutes later Diante was on one knee!
Here’s a series of photos taken in the 30 or so seconds before, during and following the proposal – you think she was surprised? (click on the photos for larger version!)

CONGRATULATIONS to Diante and Tasha! Keep me updated on your wedding plans, and don’t forget, the photography cost for THIS session can become a credit towards your wedding-day photograhy, and I DO travel to California!

Pam and James are the perfect couple to go to the non-so-secret anymore location outside of Las Vegas. They LOVE old cars and the rustic look… and we had a pleasant surprise as well – the cactus were in full bloom!
Jeremy and I worked together on this one, with Jeremy doing almost all of the shooting while we both scouted for locations and did all the posing, etc.
We’ll start off with a more fun, non-posed photo, I guess Pam is gonna hook her a good one!

I know this isn’t really a lovey engagement-photo type photo, but the natural light was really nice and the “feel” was there.

With their love of old cars, this was a given:

You probably remember seeing a very similar photo in a previous post – and I do try to be as creative/new as possible with each client – but if something “works”, then I say keep using it!

James was able to name off almost every single car (shell) there, down to the year, based on very tiny details. He used to own a street rod shop! We loved this one, that’s all probably original wood, but not original bullet holes!

Wanted to focus on the beautiful cactii (?) in bloom…

Speaking of flowers and cars… we got a HUGE compliment from Pam and James… there’s a few photos that are NOT of them, that they are going to frame to hang in their house/garage. This is one that Pam is going to mat and frame:

And here’s one that she’s going to do for James to put in his garage (I am picturing a pretty cool garage since that’s where he works on his work/hobby)…

Here’s another one…

We can’t wait for Pam and James’ wedding coming up in August!

We took Christina and Jeff about 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas to a location that used to be pretty “secret”, but now is becoming pretty popular with photographers. If you remember a couple months ago we got some cool off-camera lighting? Well it’s not really portable as in being able to carry/move it around constantly – but we decided to try it with Christina and Jeff. I think they thought it was pretty funny watching me carry the big flash with umbrella around for 1.5 hours!
What you will notice on this shoot is the interesting lighting effect – the flash was almost always off-center which gives the photos a different (and we think, better) look.
Jeremy did the actual shooting here, with both of us collaborating on poses and lighting. Christina and Jeff were GREAT, and a lot of fun. They were open to any fun stuff we threw at them, too!
We started out in the old barn, so some “vintage” type processing was a must… (don’t forget to click for larger version!)

Here’s our “front-and-back” set of poses that we always get, but we always try to do it a bit differently…

Can’t you just picture them, like 50 years from now, sitting in an old wooden chair on their front porch, in the same pose? 
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
The last of the “posey-formalish” shots…
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
I just LOVE the expressions here – this one is after Jeremy cracked some sort of joke and snapped right at the perfect moment…
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
Oops, one more posed photo…
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
Now I’m going to warn some of my more conservative/traditional readers that these next photos all have a LOT of processing. I think the processing is complimentary to the photos, but you’ll need to look at these with an “artistic” eye… OK?
There’s this other barn-thing on the property and we’d been wanting to do a shot like this…
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
Now I know that Christina and Jeff aren’t looking at each other on that one, so we continued the series of photos with these two… and if you look close, you can see the interesting lighting (note the shadows on the RIGHT side of everything? That’s because the flash was way off to the left.

Anyone who remembers the infamous “bobble head” photos – well this one isn’t quite as extreme but the effect is still pretty cool:
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
At this point, it’s getting pretty dark and usually we’d be done – but we had the high-powered flash so we kept on shooting. And we ended up with one of our most favorite photos of the evening (and by the way, the sky isn’t artificially colored – there’s some tweaking to the saturation and vividity but that’s it):
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
And now it was DARK… a 5 minute walk to the old plane “crash” site just to experiment with shadows and harsh lighting (on purpose). Not everyone would like this style but you have to admit it’s interesting!
Las Vegas Wedding Engagement Photography
Afterwards, Jeff and Christina agreed to let us REALLY experiment with something called “painting with light”. I’ll be blogging that sometime in the near future. In the meantime, we are really looking forward to shooting their wedding and reception in October!

Get a load of this amazing couple! I did a short (1-hour) engagement session photography with Jesse and Katy on Sunday. We did a “simple” shoot at another local park and in ONE hour, we got 111 unique photos! I am so lucky to be doing the wedding-day photography in May for this great couple, who are as nice as they are good looking!
Katy loves the “over-the-top” type processing – SO, for you brides looking at my samples, if you don’t like the processing then please don’t worry – I don’t have to process yours like this. But, I do pride myself in finding out what styles my brides like, and then customizing all the special processing to those preferences. And, as always, my brides get ALL versions of the photos so they can pick-and-choose!
These first 3 photos are very similar, but I wanted to show various processing that we do. I didn’t want to show the exact same photo but I wanted it to be a good comparison…
This one, I LOVE… it’s a split-tone, with some custom adjustments and a texture overlay. There’s just so much FUN in this photo!

Kind of similar to the first photo, but I think it captures a lot more of the “love” emotion…
Las Vegas Bride and Groom Photography
Same processing on the following 2 photos… these two could be considered “over the top” so again, don’t worry if you don’t like the processing, all my brides get both versions of the photos!

Katy loves the “selective color” process (where the photo is mostly black-and-white, but certain elements are left in color). You’ve all seen it – it’s typically the flowers or something like that… we didn’t have flowers so we tried this:
Las Vegas Engagement Session Photography
I got about 6 versions of this now-standard shot… and every one of them had some amount of “attitude” coming from the background. And by “attitude”, I mean it in a good way. This one is more of a “I’m waiting!” type look, and Jesse looked great in the foreground, too!
Engagement Session Photographer in Las Vegas
You could probably tell from the previous photos that Katy has some beautiful eyes… I did this close-up crop more for Jesse – he needs to print this as a wallet size and keep it with him at all times!
Las Vegas Bride Photography
Thanks guys, you are GREAT! My brain is already in high gear thinking about creative shots for your wedding day!

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!

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?

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).
Wedding Photography Engagement Mt. Charleston Photo
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!
