“Nothing Traditional or Posed” was my main instruction from Christina. I was able to slip in a few posed shots but all-in-all, this Las Vegas wedding ceremony and reception photography was candid and photojournalistic style.

This wedding and reception was held at Green Valley Ranch in Henderson (in the Las Vegas Valley). Christina was great to hang out with before the ceremony and VERY laid-back. After our introductions, the first thing she said was “here, have a glass of champagne”. I had to decline since champagne tends to effect me very quickly and I doubt any of my brides would want their photographer to be tipsy!

Of course, in blogs, photographers are expected to include creative shots – I did get Christina to do a couple poses:

I’ve posted a few of this style.. the “contemplative” shot. I just ask the Bride to think about her ceremony and her future husband and try to capture their immediate, natural reaction. As always, these shots are interpreted differently by different people…

The other day I was “spying” on some other wedding photographer blogs and realized I have never posted my “shoe shots”. Brides love those photos of their shoes!

Christina said she “used to” play piano but she did end up sitting down and playing a very nice piece. I wanted to incorporate the piano with her bouquet and thought this one captured my intentions:

During the ceremony, with a little bit of a vintage look…

Smoochie, smoochie!

The Recessional, she is SO happy, and he is SO proud!

First dance
