Las Vegas Photographer for Weddings and Event Photography TiffanyG

You may think that choosing a Photographer for your Las Vegas wedding is difficult - but if you consider these 7 simple things, your decision will be much easier:

1. This one is absolutely the MOST important: Does the photographer provide recent samples, and does the style/look of the photos match your tastes? If you like her/his photos overall, don’t worry if you don’t like ALL their demos - understand that a photographer should customize the photos to each specific bride, so you may not like ALL their demos. However, make sure your photographer will customize her/his style to you!

2. Do you get along with your prospective photographer? You’ll be spending the most important day of your life with her/him… if you don’t really LIKE your photographer, then you won’t look your best in your photos - attitude matters!

3. Is a 2nd photographer/assistant available, at least for your ceremony? A second angle and extra photos is many times worth the extra cost of having a 2nd photographer for the ceremony. What about photos of the groom and his friends pre-wedding? You’ll have tons of “getting-ready” photos of you (the bride), but will your prospective photographer be able to take photos of the groom? If not then consider a 2nd photographer - one that has experience with the unique poses and more laid-back photography of the groom and his party. There’s really no need for a 2nd photographer at your reception, so make sure you can have the 2nd photographer at the times YOU want!

4. Flexibility: Will your prospective photographer customize her/his packages to exactly meet your needs? Does she/he provide a “shot list” at least for the formal photos? Can you add to the list? And here’s a big one: If you notice that the photographer limits the number of locations or charges extra for a location change, then it’s a sure sign that he/she is difficult to work with (or set in his ways).

5. Prints: Are they important to you? If so then make sure you compare packages that include prints - however, prints within a photographer’s package are EXPENSIVE. It’s oftentimes best to make sure the package includes the disc of high-resolution images with printing rights so you can print your own 4×6,  5×7 and 8×10 prints (the truth is, the quality of these smaller prints is about the same whether you have them printed, or if you get them from your photographer). 11×14, 16×20 and larger sizes (including Canvas prints and other large prints) should be printed by your photographer.

6. Disc-of-Images: If your photographer does NOT supply a high-resolution disc of images, then he/she is living in the 1990’s and will then charge you as much as $30 for EACH print that you’d like to buy later on. The days of $10 4×6 prints are GONE - do not settle for a photographer who will want to sell you $1000 or more of prints after your wedding. Very simply, you should know well before your wedding day how much you are spending on photos. If you have to worry about extra charges after your wedding, that’s one more thing to worry about (and you don’t need that!)  Also, it’s VERY important to know exactly what is included if your photographer includes a disc of images! Some photographers will supply low-resolution versions (that will be pixelated and low quality if you make prints). These are only good for computer viewing. If you want to make your own prints, make sure that you get the “high-resolution” or “full sized” photo files. Make sure they are provided without a watermark, and that you have full printing rights.

7. Price. Notice this one is last on the list, but it’s still very important. Very simply, if your prospective photographer fits the other 6 requirements, then price shouldn’t matter. If you can’t afford her/his price then you’ll need to find another photographer that meets all (or most) of your requirements.

Mario and Micky had a beautiful ceremony at St. Jude’s in Boulder City and then we did a Strip Tour with the entire wedding party. St. Judes is absolutely amazing, but small, with tons of color.  So for this shoot I decided to process high-saturation and bright colors. I think this also matches Micky’s personality…

This first photo is after getting ready at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. Yes, I know I do this photo a lot but hey, if the brides love it then give them what they love!

Mario and his wedding party… Lynn shot this one.

The ceremony

I’m pretty sure that Lynn caught this one (there are 1400 photos from this event, I got a similar one but this one was better). CLASSIC (and priceless!).

Las Vegas Wedding Photos

The new happy couple! I post this with no offense to Mario but he’s not much of a “smiler”. I was VERY happy to get a nice, genuine smile in this photo!

Outside the church.

It’s hard NOT to smile with all these beautiful women posing around you! Mario is really cheesin’ on this one!

Photographer in Las Vegas

Now off to the Strip…. I’ve done this shot a few times and I think this is the best one so far.

Photographer in Las Vegas

Surprisingly, this is NOT posed. The guys were waiting while I was shooting something else. This is one of the very few that I processed differently - I saw “Rat Pack” and “Classic Vegas” in this photo so I desaturated the colors and gave it a classic look. What’s funny is that I’ve spent several minutes “posing” similar photos to LOOK un-posed, but these guys just naturally made this near-perfect shot!

Photographer in Las Vegas

Some dreamy couple’s shots…

This one begged to be made into a “chocolate” black and white. Plus we love to give variety of processing…

Las Vegas Wedding Photography

Ok, admittedly there’s a few technical posing things wrong with this photo but something about it makes me really like it. I think the weird “lean” that Mario is doing is a perfect compliment (contrast?) to the loose and fun pose for Micky. This is a love-it-or-hate-it shot. I love it but I’m sure many will hate it.

Las Vegas Wedding Photography

What a crazy day - shooting in 3 different locations with a HUGE wedding party. Mario and Micky were awesome, though, and the day was mega-fun!

John and Christina were married at the Platinum Hotel in Las Vegas. This is a GREAT location, just off the strip. The hotel is SO nice, and there’s an awesome patio on the top floor.

John and Christina are SO cool, so laid back, and SOOOO fun!  Here’s a selection of some of my favorites - and it was hard to choose just 11…

One thing to mention - for some reason when I am in the Platinum I feel like it should be in a movie… so for this shoot I used a “film grain/film contrast” type processing on many of the photos. The process makes the photos look a little like they are from a movie camera - highly saturated, deep contrast, and not crystal-clear (a bit of grain).

Virgil was my 2nd shooter for this wedding, this is one of his:

Caught ya!

Almost every shot during the ceremony was using “available light” (no flash). The Misora room has floor-to-ceiling windows and the lighting can be amazing!

Now for after the ceremony - having some fun…

This one is not posed, just saw and clicked!

This one was posed, and there’s a bunch from this series that I purposely didn’t blog… but Christina, they came out awesome! I can’t wait to get the rest of your photos finished!

Ok, bonus shots from before the wedding… Christina is amazingly beautiful!

I am so tempted to make a 2nd blog post from this wedding, I didn’t even get to post any “fun” party shots… this wedding was a blast!

Joey and Alicia are getting married at Silverstone Golf Club (we actually recommended them to check it out and they LOVE it) so we figured an Engagement Session there would be in order. Jeremy and I did this shoot, collaborating on the poses and Jeremy did most of the shooting while I was the “lighting technician” (read: lugging the big off-camera strobe around the golf course).

Usually the groom is “along for the ride” but Joey was really into this. I think part of it was his excitement of getting nice photos of his beautiful fiancee, but he was genuinely excited to be involved. That is GREAT and really shows his love and committment to Alicia.

Of course it could also just be “the way it is” with Joey, Alicia and their family… because when they came to proof their photos, they had an entourage of people including moms and aunts and grandmas! That was nerve-wracking but really fun to see the various reactions when we showed a photo.

So anyway, poor Joey and Alicia, it was very bright and we not only brought our big flash but also a reflector to help with fill light. They probably felt like they were part of a movie production or something…

Silverstone has this sschuuhweet arch at the front entrance. Very dramatic!  They call it “Mediterranean Style”, so we did this Michelangelo-ish pose under the arch (shout out to P.G. for that term!). And FYI, the sky is un-touched other than saturation and contrast (the clouds really are in that cross-hatch pattern!)

With the cool clouds that day, we wanted to use them as a backdrop as much as possible. We just love the sky, the wall, and the fun “come hither big boy” type pose that Alicia had.

Engagement Photography in Las Vegas

This was a practice shot (working on settings) and it just happened to be a great expression and perfect “glow” lighting…

This one was processed very “warm” to bring out the red highlights in Alicia’s hair to match Joe’s red hair…

Engagement Photography in Las Vegas

Here’s one of Alicia’s “glamour shots”. The neat thing about Silverstone is there’s lots of interesting locations in a small area…this area has some slightly industrial-looking concrete stairs.

Here’s another “awwwww…..”

Time to goof off a little - we had plenty of the “posed” stuff…

Here’s a bit of an optical illusion - you’d think they were in some sort of meadow or field, wouldn’t you? Well they weren’t… and how we did that will remain our little secret (but there’s no photoshop involved)

Las Vegas Wedding Photographer Engagement Session

They couldn’t hide from our big telephoto lens!

Our style is usually “soft/glowy and clear/clean” but we pushed our boundaries a little bit… the shot really needed a “spy” look, some distortion, blur, and “noise” added

Las Vegas Wedding Photography

Last one of the blog, by now it was almost dark and there were lots more clouds. Oh, and now we figured out why Joey liked this photo shoot so much! He got to kiss his beautiful fiancee A LOT! (watch your hands, young man!)

Las Vegas Wedding Photography

We were so happy that Joey and Alicia and their “entourage” liked our work. We knew that different processing styles are liked/disliked by different people - and of course mom and grandma didn’t like some of the shots that Alicia and Joey liked (and vice-versa)  - but that’s why we always do varied processing on our photos AND give the “original” version on the disc, too!
