January 19th, 2009EngagementsWhat 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!

November 6th, 2008Flash Montages, Parties, Weddings
I decided to do one more Flash photo montage, this one is for Cristina and Jason’s wedding and for all their friends and family all over the world. Cristina emailed me and was SO excited to show her wedding photos to all her family who couldn’t make it to Las Vegas for the Wedding so I thought I’d put 60 or so photos to a montage as a “little extra” for her.
I like this one because it shows highlights of the entire wedding day, and it’s set to their first dance song. Plus, it shows some of the great surroundings at the JW Marriott Las Vegas that I wasn’t able to post in my original blog post (scroll down 2 or 3 posts to see that one)!

October 19th, 2008Weddings
Photography at JW Marriott Las Vegas is always SO much fun! It is a Las Vegas Photographer’s dream! The grounds are absolutely amazing, with waterfalls, beautiful green areas, bridges over little streams, etc. I work a lot at “The JW” (as we call it in our office), and the DJ’s at D. Jay’s Entertainment are out there often as well.
I noticed that I don’t have a lot of “getting ready” photos on my blog, and many of my brides ask me to cover this portion of their day. Well, we had an awesome room (with amazing light coming in through the patio door), and of course an absolutely beautiful bride, so I thought I’d share some “getting ready” photos!
The natural light from the patio door was perfect for a nice portrait.
The entire wedding had so much color, being outside and with the beautiful blue accents on the dress, but I really felt I needed to provide Cristina with a couple “timeless” photos, and the best way to do that is with black and white. This photo is “overexposed” on purpose to accent her figure and take the attention away from the trees, etc. that were outside the window. It also helps give the photo my trademark “glow” look…
A nice split-tone really accentuated Cristina’s complexion and helped the overall “feel” of this one:
I didn’t really intend on posting any ceremony shots, but I changed my mind
The rings, using my long telephoto lens from about 30 feet away.
We got so many nice after-ceremony shots around the grounds of The JW, this is one of my favorites:
For long-time readers of my blog, you’ve seen this shot before, it’s one I attempt when the veil allows for it, and my brides/grooms always love it!
The big round window in the reception room inspired me to do a silhouette photo, if you squint your eyes just right you can see a heart? See it?!?
Ok, well that’s about 4 more photos than I usually post, I got a little carried away! As always, I thank Cristina and Jason for allowing me to be a part of their wedding day. It was an honor and a privilege!

I periodically get to visit Laughlin for my wedding photography. Terry and Letasha are a great couple! They had an outside wedding under a gazebo and a reception inside a great room with a beautiful view. Here’s some highlights:
From the bridal suite, we had 30 minutes or so to get some bridal photos.
Now to the outside wedding, I purposely slightly over-exposed this photo to emphasize the beautiful sunny day. I also added a slight glow and darkened the dark areas. I know this is a love-it-or-hate-it type shot. It doesn’t follow the “rules” but in my mind it conveys the moment perfectly.
The gazebo was packed with people and was a bit challenging to shoot. Of course I got all the required shots, but those are boring to show… I know my readers want to see cute little girls and beautiful brides, so here’s a cute little girl! I added the “dreamy”, slightly fuzzy/glow look later on.
Letasha’s dress was classically simple, but was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect length for her, and for the type of wedding she planned.
I got a couple hundred shots at the reception, too… where Gene who was working for D. Jay’s Entertainment kept everyone dancing for hours. However I’ve shown a lot of “party” shots lately so I thought I’d just include this one photo. It pretty much sums up the end to an exciting (and tiring) day!
Oh, what the hay… I’ll throw in one more. I processed this bouquet/ring shot to look “vintage”.
It was great to be back in Laughlin again. I’m down there in early November, so be on the lookout for more photos from Laughlin!

July 30th, 2008Engagements
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 was so excited to be shooting in a big, open Catholic Church - all that natural light, beautiful colors, etc. While hotel chapels are very nice, there’s something to be said about a church wedding! Of course, most churches do not allow flash, so ceremonies can be challenging, too!
A shot I took about an hour before anyone got there - I always arrive early to new locations so I can test out camera settings and “scout” the area. This shot is from a tripod with a long exposure… and by the way, it’s been a while since I reminded my readers that they can click on any photo to see a larger version! Just use your browser’s “back” button to return to the blog):
Isn’t she an absolutely beautiful bride? She was just glowing with excitement!
A photographer can look for years to find such a cute little girl in a perfect (non-posed) pose, a ribbon being tied on her head, with her head tilted, looking right at the camera - and I was lucky enough to capture this brief, non-posed moment. I made several versions of this photo, in color, in B/W, with a vignette… and I provided them all to Dennis and Jessica… but I personally liked this “dreamy” black and white version:
On to the ceremony! I am really having a tough time picking out just a couple shots, but I knew this one had to be included in my blog:
As I scouted the location before the ceremony, I noticed how shiny the floor was and instantly had an idea. I couldn’t wait for when Jessica and Dennis kneeled so I could get this shot:
The First Kiss:
Remember that cutie in the stroller? Well, that’s Jessica and Dennis’ daughter, and just a second after the first kiss, she made her way up to mom and dad to give her congratulations. Dennis’ smile is priceless!
I did follow Jessica and Dennis to their reception at Excalibur, where they had also hired Jeremy (my husband and also a darn good photographer) from D. Jay’s Entertainment to be their DJ. Everyone had a blast, including Jessica. I couldn’t resist posting just one photo from the reception:
In closing, I wanted to thank Jessica and Dennis. I also thank Dennis, his dad, his groomsmen, and his fellow servicemen and women for their selfless service to our country. It was an honor to meet you.
