I’m so excited… we just added FOURTH and FIFTH National Awards in just the last three years! D.Jay’s Entertainment and TiffanyGPhoto has earned the 2010 Pick for Best of Weddings in Las Vegas from TheKnot AND the 2010 Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire! These 2 awards are based solely on bride recommendations and voting and are 2 of the 3 most prestigious awards for the wedding industry (as voted on by brides).
This marks the SECOND time we’ve won Best of Weddings from TheKnot. It’s also the SECOND time we’ve won the Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire.
The WeddingWire award is only given to the Top 5% of Wedding Vendors in the entire USA, and to win it TWICE is extremely difficult. It does prove our dedication to perfect customer service and high-quality photography and DJ services. When other companies claim to be “the best”, we don’t need to claim it- our brides shout it from the mountaintops!
I’m excited to be YOUR wedding photographer, so if you are getting married in Las Vegas or in surrounding states, please give me a call via my office at D. Jay’s Entertainment, 702-643-3529.
The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 for Wedding Photography and Wedding Disc Jockey!
WeddingWire Bride's Choice Award 2010

I am a recommended Venetian photographer for wedding receptions and had the absolute pleasure of working with Ryan and Natasha just last weekend… they are both “Michiganders” (as I am, originally). They are also “car people” (like Jeremy and me) and we really got along! And, we all like to talk – Natasha and I spent close to an hour on the phone one day, just talking about whatever…
So they hired me to shoot their reception, so there are a TON of dancing pics and “candids” in their photo set – but nobody wants to see all those on a blog! I don’t even think they expected any creative photography but I grabbed them in the hallway for a few minutes and got quite a few posed/creative shots…
One quick note as I always say – we do a lot of creative processing on our photos and we realize not everyone likes every special processing look – so of course my brides get BOTH versions. Also, I just got a new set of really cool effects so I’m a little effect-crazy today!

Almost forgot, before they got to the Venetian for the reception, I took some shots of the decor, etc. Here’s one example of their tables:

And, the cake…

Here’s Ryan and Natasha during their Grand Entrance… LOVE the expressions… Ryan has that “cat-that-just-got-the-bird” look, and Natasha LOOVES him!

Back in early January, I submitted 2 photos to a photo contest at Sahara Camera Center here in Las Vegas. The theme was “Tis The Season”. It took a while, but I found out a couple days ago that my photo was chosen as the winner! I won a nice (small) camera bag, which will come in handy for those Engagement Sessions where I don’t need to take ALL of my various equipment.
See, not ALL my work is Wedding Photography, although being a Wedding Photographer is my passion!
Here’s the photo that won the contest. It’s my nephew, and was not posed at all (well, the photo in the thought bubble was posed, but not the reaction to the present) – Click photo for larger version!

Jeremy and I spent an hour with Will, Cherry, and their two wonderful children (remember, we don’t post names of kids on our blog) yesterday. They are an awesome family! Their son is just 5 years old and is quite the camera-ham! Their daughter is absolutely beautiful and took a while to warm up, but we got some very good ones of her too!
Will and Cherry are getting married next month and we’re really hoping to earn their wedding-day business… as part of the Bridal Spectacular, we offered them a FREE 1-hour engagement session so we could get to know them better. It seems that we all get along very well so we’ll see!
This blog will be a mix of Engagement photos and Family Portrait/Family Photography. As with a lot of our private sessions, Jeremy and I work together; he is usually the one clicking the shutter and I use my “eye” to find great locations and poses… We had a blast working together for this short (1-hour) shoot:
This photo was only the 4th “click” of the day – and it was hard to choose between the first 4…

Now, mom and dad… the processing on this one is called “Summer Haze”, and we did our own tweaking to it.

Off to the playground…

Of course Will and Cherry hopped on, too!

Walking to the next location, Jeremy caught the kids playing around a yellow pole. Amazing how a great “eye” can see an interesting shot, huh?

This park (almost) has it all… waterfall, fun playground, a cool brick wall, bridges, etc. These 3 shots (obviously) are from the brick wall area…

Off to the bridge, and the little guy was clowning around – this one is actually not posed at all… just his reaction after the camera was pointed at him.

Lots of color at the park but we have to get a few black-and-whites in… here’s one of them.

Now it’s time for the love-it-or-hate-it photo. The famous (infamous?) “bobble head” shot. Like it or not, it’s FUN and loose.

Then we made our way back to the waterfall area for some sunset-type, posed family shots. We looked up and saw an amazing sunset – and got this photo:

Thanks to all 4 of you for an enjoyable hour! Can’t wait until this Sunday where you’ll see all 175 or so “keepers”!

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!
