I find myself at Lake Las Vegas more and more often – it’s just such a beautiful place. Another thing I like about it is that I always seem to find a new place to take engagement pictures. On this 2-hour shoot, we got 28 unique poses in over 20 unique locations!
I start off with every couple at the waterfall near the front entrance. The photos start out very basic and usually I don’t even plan on using them – it’s just a way to get the couple accustomed to having their picture taken. But, this one came out pretty nice (albeit pretty standard):
Here’s a pose I use quite often, but try to change it up a little for each couple. Can’t you just feel the emotion?
Towards the end of the shoot, the sun was coming down and I had to attempt a photo that really isn’t good for my camera… as a matter of fact I have to override the “protection” that the camera has that protects the sensor from burning out. It’s slightly dangerous to the camera but the end result is worth it!
We tried to make it to the front entrance again, for a sunset shot from the rusty steel bridge. It was very dark under the trees on the bridge, and we were a little late for the sunset, but it came out nice. For any of my photographer friends out there, I think you’ll agree that this is actually a very difficult shot – getting the natural light of the sunset while still using the flash to illuminate the subjects… all while not allowing the background to be too dark or the subjects get “blown out” by the flash. Either way, this photo marks a great ending to a very fun shoot!

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!
