Las Vegas Photographer for Weddings and Event Photography TiffanyG

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).

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!

I’ll be posting the engagement session that went along with this landscape photo but I wanted to post one of our first true landscape photos (we specialize in people, and landscape is an entirely different animal!).

This photo is almost straight from the camera. Enjoy! Click on the image to see it a bit larger:

This next photo was actually taken by setting my camera on the windshield wiper and windshield of our car, balancing it very carefully and then doing a timed exposure (about 2 seconds open shutter). The reflection on the bottom is the hood of the car. I wasn’t able to even see through the viewfinder. This photo is straight out of the camera, completely un-retouched except for adding the outside frame.

I hope you enjoyed seeing something a little different, I know we enjoyed shooting them and expanding our “horizons”!

Since not all photography is “Las Vegas Photography”, I frequent a lot of message boards for photographers from all over the world where we share our photos and critique each other’s work. Every once in a while I’ll show a photo that my client ABSOLUTELY LOVES, but the pro photogs will absolutely HATE. Usually that’s for very technical reasons…. exposure, flash use, shadows, etc.

Of course, like all Photographers, I strive to take a perfect “technical” picture every time. But sometimes, that just doesn’t happen. What I DO almost always get is the EMOTION… the “moment”. You won’t find me missing a shot because I’m adjusting my flash or the lighting isn’t just right! Photoshop does some amazing things!

Anyway, I was thinking about my personal theory on Photography, as it relates to my work here, for weddings, family, sports, and some portrait photography. I decided that I would write my 5 “goals”, in order, and publicize those goals to my clients and potential clients.

Here goes:

1. Capture the “moment” and the “emotion”. This includes helping the client(s) get into a good mindset so I can get good photos (ie. having fun when appropriate!).
2. Make sure my client will like (or love) the shot. Consult to find out the client’s styles and wants, but push creative/artistic boundaries. Don’t forget about the “must have” poses/photos.
3. Composition/Exposure/Lighting. Understand that good composition (or cropping) and processing can make a mediocre photo/moment into an “OH WOW” photo. While on-location, take a good “technical” shot, but don’t shortchange the client by giving them an unfinished photo! Post Processing can make the difference!
4. Run a smooth and organized photoshoot. Especially with group pictures or with the formal photography before/after a wedding ceremony - the family and guests appreciate a photographer who can (nicely) “take charge” and get the pictures done quickly and professionally.
5. Quality above quantity. HOWEVER, especially with event photography, most clients do want “candid” or “snapshot” type photos of their friends and family. Not every photo needs to be magazine-quality, but make them magazine-quality when it’s appropriate.

Thank you for reading this longer-than-normal blog post. I hope it gives you a bit more insight into my style!

Comments welcome, of course!!
