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.

This is the Las Vegas Wedding that I was honored to be involved with as the photographer last weekend. Sheree and Matthew are a great couple, and Sheree was an absolutely beautiful bride. Sheree wanted mostly non-traditional photography so a lot of the photos are basic photojournalistic style.

I did want to show a couple shots that I post-processed to include some new “textures” that I just acquired. As of this writing, Sheree hasn’t even seen them, and to be honest I don’t think they are her “style”, but of course I’m giving her multiple versions of each photo (including the non-textured versions). I was just so excited to try out the textures, though! You get a better effect by clicking on the photos to see the larger version.

This little girl was the flowergirl, I just loved the natural light from the window lighting up her cute little face!

Very very light texture on this, a grainy look…

Sheree with her daughter in a tender moment before the ceremony.

Another one of her daughter, totally fascinated by the flowers…

Now to the ceremony. This is a shot I always do my best to get - the grooms reaction to seeing his bride for the first time. The smiles (and sometimes tears) always make a great memory.

While Matthew was smiling, ringbearer Dalton was somehow surprised by the horseshoe (click to enlarge and see some of the details, including the rings!)

The ceremony was very laid-back, and as I’ve mentioned before, it’s always easy to get great wedding photos when the bride (and groom) have big-ole’ smiles!

We didn’t really do many “formals” after the wedding but I was able to get a few. A very non-traditional pose (usually the bride is in front, but putting her behind the groom “loosens” the photo a bit…and the angle loosens it even further). Fun!

Told you Sheree was fun! They all laughed when I said, “ok, let’s do one in the bounce-house!”. Yes, Sheree, IN YOUR DRESS!

I had a blast shooting this wedding, and the 1000+ photos will create great memories for Matthew and Sheree and their family. I know they had a good time too… they kept Larry, the DJ from D. Jay’s Entertainment, for 2 extra hours! What a party!

Las Vegas Wedding Photography is so fun! People get married in Las Vegas all the time. As a Wedding Photographer, I get to see brides and grooms get married in Las Vegas… we tour the Las Vegas Strip… we take photos during the marriage at Chapels and Churches… I get to attend Wedding Receptions and take pictures of guests dancing and having fun. I get to do Engagement Sessions at beautiful locations such as Red Rock, Lake Las Vegas, and other places before the wedding.

Photography in Las Vegas is so different from anywhere else. From the man-made beauty to the vast natural beauty - there’s always something amazing to take photos of.

But my favorite part are the great people.. the brides and the grooms who get married in Las Vegas! Every day I am thankful for being able to be a Las Vegas Wedding Photographer. I enjoy getting feedback from my wedding couples. I love helping to capture the moments and preserving them “for eternity”.

I want my clients to know that every time I snap the shutter, I am thinking about how they will look at the photo years down the road. I truly love my clients and always do my best to make sure they are given more than they expect. I strive to over-deliver for every client… that’s my way to “give back” to them for allowing me to do my “job”, which is more fun than work.

Happy Thanksgiving from Las Vegas Photographer TiffanyG!

Either myself or one of my assistants (Joey or Wendhy) or sometimes Jeremy shoots wedding photography at the Chapel at Texas Station in Las Vegas. We offer an upgraded wedding photo package and can bundle reception photography and one of D. Jay’s Entertainment’s Disc Jockeys and save the brides and grooms some money while still getting them award-winning service.

This shoot was done by Joey and the photos edited here by us in our office. I am very proud to be working with Joey, who does a great job. His style is different than mine but that’s not a bad thing… different brides want different styles, and after hearing from Sarah’s mom, Joey was a perfect match for this couple!

Djamal and Sarah are very down-to-earth people, and were very non-traditional… with the exception of Sarahs absolutely beautiful dress with a bit of a nature theme:

Joey captured a very cool “ring shot” that incorporated the flowers AND the stylish shoes that they wore!

A nice moment that we hope everyone will like, shows the great detail in the dress plus the beautiful flowers and the tender hand-holding during the ceremony:

It’s kind of funny, grooms tend to shy away from the camera but at the least are very difficult to capture in a “tender” moment. Joey got this one spot-on! I betcha Sarah will melt when she sees the love portrayed in this photo!

At the same time, Djamal and Sarah were very fun and (as I mentioned earlier), very non-traditional… I liked this photo because it reminds us that it’s OK to have fun during the ceremony. Yes, it’s an important occasion but that doesn’t mean you can’t smile and maybe even laugh a little (plus, it helps us photographers to get better pics!)

A nicely-posed “formal” shot after the wedding (they didn’t want a lot of formal stuff), I think the expressions are priceless!

This one proves that you don’t ALWAYS have to smile to create a mood. This is a very non-traditional pose but it really works… look into Djamal’s eyes, you can see confidence and love, but also maybe a touch of nervousness and inward-thinking after taking on the great responsibility of becoming a husband. Sarah seems extremely content, comfortable on the shoulder of her new husband. in my opinion, this is one of those photos that is very much open to interpretation, and I’m sure everyone who looks at this photo will interpret it differently… by the way, does anyone see a bit of a Mona Lisa-esque smile on Djamal’s face?

Joey caught Sarah in a very emotional embrace after the ceremony. She’s smiling but you can see a hint of tears welling up…. PERFECT timing!

Another tender moment, this time during the first dance.

All-in-all we were able to provide about 575 photos from this event (pre-ceremony through the reception). Thanks to Joey for his work on this job, and to Sarah, Djamal, and Sarah’s mom for allowing us to be a part of their big day!
