August 1st, 2009Engagements, propose in las vegasMichael had a great proposal idea in Las Vegas… he set it up so he could propose at Lake Las Vegas! Jeremy was there to capture the moment in pictures. Esther was completely surprised, since he arranged it with her friends to take her “to a party”. Of course when she got there, she found something different!
I really wish I could post about 30 photos from this wedding marriage proposal but I had to cut it down to 13. Michael wanted Jeremy to be out-0f-sight the entire time so these are almost like “spy photos”. They were taken through a window using our zoom lens, from about 100 feet away.

Isn’t there supposed to be a party here?!? And what’s this little bride figurine?

The card asked her to sit down…

…then to stand back up, at which point Michael appeared.

I am sure this moment is the exact moment she finally figured it out, as Michael starts going down to one knee…

The entire time, Esther never looked down at the ring… here’s her first good look at it!

Now the emotion comes out, I think it finally hit her, and she finally said “yes!”

And of course we had to do one posed shot of the ring!

May 15th, 2009Engagements, Strip Photography Tour
Taking trips to Las Vegas must bring the romantic side out of guys… Joseph and Ashley came all the way from Canada and Joseph proposed to her in California, then they came to Vegas and hired us to do a photo shoot for them. Jeremy did the photos for this happy couple!

Once Jeremy arrived, Joseph had a great idea where they would kiss in the middle of The Strip while people were going by, and Jeremy would shoot with a very long shutter, which would make all the people blurry but J and A would be “stuck in a moment”. Well, this requires a tripod and we don’t carry a tripod for Strip Tours, so Jeremy worked on the photo in Photoshop. This one is still a work in progress…

And here’s a shot that Ashley inspired… it really is amazing that every time we shoot on The Strip, we find something new, or a new idea… I think this one will be used in future shoots, we really like it! And yes, we know it’s “backwards” - Jeremy wanted to show off the ring!

Jeremy came back from the shoot raving about how cool Joseph and Ashley were. They were so open to new ideas and really seemed to have fun!
We just got an email from them saying that they may be coming back to get married in Vegas - we can’t wait to work with them again!!
Congrats!

February 26th, 2009Weddings
As I mentioned a while back, my company is the in-house wedding photography company for Texas Station’s chapel here in Las Vegas. I shoot there whenever I can, but I usually am working with my clients that have all-day packages and one of my assistants shoots these events.
Texas Station clients typically are 15 to 20 minutes of photos of the bride and groom prior to the ceremony, an 8 to 10-minute ceremony and 20 minutes for formals. Even so, I believe we offer MUCH more than the typical “chapel” wedding photographer. We don’t limit poses or number of photos taken. We don’t hard-sell an $800 disc-of-images or 8×10 prints for $100. We don’t do cookie-cutter pictures with every bride (of course we do the standards but we also try to do more creative stuff). We even get photos of the signing of the marriage license. And, we do our trademark “special processing” to them, too!
Anyway, I did end up working with Heather and Darren, and I am so glad I did! They are such a cute couple, and SO FUN! This blog is a bit atypical - you’re going to see some “blooper” type photos, but really what you’ll see are Heather and Darren being relaxed.
Before I show the fun stuff, I did want to post two pre-ceremony photos… they have a cool mirror where we always get some nice creative photos:

The little flowergirl was VERY shy of the camera, but I got this precious photo:

The ringbearer, on the other hand, was NOT shy… what a ham!

These next three photos prove that minor “mistakes” can happen at a wedding ceremony but if you just go with the flow, everything will be fine! Remember, the most important part of your wedding day is saying two words: “I Do.” Anything after that is icing on the cake!
It happens: Flowergirl won’t walk down the aisle! So, pick her up, and drop the flowers yourself!

Heather was tearing up a bit, so she grabbed the first thing she could - her brother’s handkerchief! Don’t worry, it’s a rental!

They did a unity candle, and after they lit the center candle the officiant said, “The outer candles stay lit…” just as they both BLEW THEM OUT! This got a HUGE laugh from everyone, and Heather and Darrin took it in stride - relighting their candles.

Here’s two photos from the “formals”. Ok, so the first one isn’t typical.. but the 2nd one is!

Heather asked if I could stay for a few hours at the reception so we worked everything out and I stuck around. Got another 450+ shots at the reception, and here’s three that really reflect the fun of the evening:

Wow, that was QUICK! Will and Cherry are already married! Seems like just yesterday we did their engagement/family session photos!
Will and Cherry were married at the Chapel at Nellis AFB just a couple days ago, in a beautiful ceremony that included the color guard and everything! Those photos are coming up, but I haven’t posted any “details” pictures for a while so I thought I’d post a couple.
Look at the amazing details on the back of this dress! And, for the new readers, make sure you click on the picture for a larger version!

Red was the theme for the day (Cherry Red?)

Cherry and her dad walking through the guard…

The ring exchange, I just love her expression here… it says A LOT!
Las Vegas Bridal Photography
After the ceremony, the traditional stop-and-kiss before being allowed to move past…

Jeremy was doing a little 2nd shooting for me, and got this cute-as-heck photo… just look at the question mark on his face!
Photography in Las Vegas
Yes, I do formals! They are a bit boring and plain, but necessary! What’s funny is that since we did the engagement session, when we said, “Ok, Will head tilt, angled shoulders…” he’d do it perfectly!
Cherry, you found a winner who listens, too!
Las Vegas Bridal Photography
Then it was off to the golf course where we got close to 200 shots in about half-an-hour! Jeremy and I were both clicking away… he took the groomsmen and I took the bridesmaids. Jeremy says he just told the groomsmen to “pimp it up” and this is what he got:
Las Vegas Wedding Photographer
Then we brought them together:

In case you are wondering, yes we did the standard “V-Pose” formal poses for the wedding party - but who really wants to see those?!?
Now for some creative couples-shots. Here’s a pretty typical photo, with “touch of color” (or “black-and-color”). Even though it’s a fairly stock photograph, I thought it came out really nice!
Las Vegas Wedding Photographer
Here’s a great example of why a 2nd shooter is a very worthwhile addition to a photography package - I got a lot of photos from the “typical” angle for this pose, but Jeremy got this one - a non-typical angle that really works!
Photography in Las Vegas
So here’s one of our very faves - it really hurt to take out the bright red, but for this one, the black-and-white really adds to the feel. We also added some “film grain” for that classic look:
Las Vegas Bridal Photography
At the reception, we found out that Will and Cherry used our engagement session photos for their table numbers… how cool is that?
Las Vegas Bridal Photography
Yeah, I know - another “typical” photo. Please keep in mind that of course we take the “standard” pictures! I’ve had a few brides asking lately, “Ok, so your photos are very creative but what about the required/standard pictures?”… well, here’s one!
Las Vegas Wedding Photographer
And, a huge group photo, told them to “do something crazy” for this one…
Photography in Las Vegas
Jeremy and I got a bit over 1100 photos at this wedding - but more than that, we had an amazing time. Will and Cherry and their kids and family are AWESOME people and we were honored to be a part of their day!

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!

Two more:

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?
Beautiful Bride at Mt. Charleston Las Vegas Photography
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).
Wedding Photography Engagement Mt. Charleston Photo
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!

Are you asking “how do I propose to my girlfriend” and are you in Las Vegas or want to propose in Las Vegas?
Well, I’m looking for romantic guys (and the Sadie-Hawkins type girls!), who want to document their actual PROPOSAL. Think about it, you just spent 6-months salary (right?) on the ring, you’ve thought of this really cool way to propose… but the only people who will remember it will be YOU and YOUR GIRL!
Anyway, you need to capture this very special moment… AND BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! So have us do photos of your proposal! I am great at “sniper” photography with my telephoto lens. Neither of you will know I’m there until after the proposal (of course the proposal has to be in a public place so I can blend in).
With photos of your marriage proposal, your girl will be able to see those pictures anytime she wants, brag to her friends, and remember that special moment. And, believe me, every time she looks at them I’m pretty sure you’ll have a nice benefit from it (nudge nudge, wink wink).
I’ve done several proposal photographs including: Michael and Esther , Evert and Zenia, Joseph and Ashley, and Diante and Tasha. So take a look at those Las Vegas Proposal Photos for ideas and samples!
Cost for wedding proposal photography is only $175/hour and can usually be done in 1 to 1.5 hours. This also includes a disc of all edited images with full printing rights, as well as a password-protected online gallery so you can show them off to your friends and family.
Oh, and when you totally fall in love with my work, I’ll give you a great deal on your engagement photos and wedding-day photography, AND when you hire me for those events, I’ll credit back the money you spent on the Proposal Photos! You can’t go wrong!
Let’s get this set up… call me at 702-643-3529 so we can work out the details… oh, and congratulations in advance on your future engagement!
