Jeremy and I knew within 10 seconds of Dean and Jennifer walking into our office that they would become clients – and be almost like family… Dean saw our Subaru STI (photos of the car at Red Rock Canyon can be seen by clicking on that link) parked outside of the office and commented on how he is also a “car guy”. And, after an hour or so (the first 30 minutes spent talking about cars!) we were booked for DJ and Photography!
Anyway, to the event! I spent the pre-ceremony time with Jennifer in their top-floor suite overlooking the mountains and golf course. By the way, the Suncoast Hotel and Casino is a great place to have a wedding and reception! Here’s a couple from there:

At the same time, Jeremy was “2nd shooting” with Dean (Kirk, as his friends call him) in the ceremony room. This is one big benefit of having two photographers, and an even bigger benefit of having one female and one male photographer – the groom and groomsmen tend to be a little more “loose” and relaxed. Here’s a compilation we know Dean will love. Keep in mind, Jeremy DID get “formal” shots, but how priceless are these semi-formal moments for a groom?!? Brides love to see these too, because a lot of photographers neglect photos of the groom…
You’ll want to click on this one, just like you can with any of my blog photos, to see a larger version…

Need more convincing that you should have 2 photographers? These two photos were taken at exactly the same second! Jeremy got Jennifer and her dad, and I got Dean and Jason (the best man).

We were also able to take our new toys (the off-camera flashes that I mentioned a few posts back). Jeremy’s camera was wireless to those flashes and I used on-camera during the ceremony. So, look back up at the groomsmen photos, notice the great depth and clarity that we can get with off-camera flash!
And here’s another that Jeremy got, see the almost 3-D effect that the multiple off-camera flashes create?

After the ceremony, it was decided that we’d head down to the pool area for all the “formals”. We were all-for this idea since we knew then we wouldn’t have to do the boring stand-up-straight-in-front-of-the-altar shots… and we knew that Dean and Jennifer weren’t that type of couple!
The problem was, we didn’t have too much time, and even though it is Las Vegas it was COLD outside… so, with the great help of the groomsmen and a couple others, we were able to take all the equipment to the pool for proper lighting (it was dark!). We had to get a few photos on the curved stairway…

And of course we got all the “formals”, but this blog is already getting too long! Here’s one of our “signature” photos…

At the reception… Dean really hammed it up for the Garter Pull!

The above photo was with the off-camera flashes and I can’t say enough how pleased I am with the improvement in quality simply from those flashes! For the heck-of-it, we took two photos within a few seconds of each other. Same camera model, same lens model, but one is on-camera flash, and the other is off-camera flash…

Now, with the new off-camera flashes… both photos are good, but this one is several levels above!

Two more… first my “signature” party-photo:

And, taken around the same time by Jeremy, the “behind the scenes” version (yes, I am laying on the floor in the center of that mob)!

We ended up with a bit over 1100 “keeper” photos for Dean and Jennifer. And, we ended up with some great memories of a super couple! I love being a Photographer in Las Vegas!

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!

We got to enjoy an entire weekend down near Laughlin at the Avi Casino Resort, we arrived on Friday evening with the plan to shoot some family shots with Robin and Morgan, but due to a couple uncontrollable circumstances, it had to be put off. No big deal, Robin was very relaxed and we agreed to spend more time on Saturday.
I was able to spend quite a while with Robin pre-ceremony and we also were able to do a lot of the formals before the ceremony as well.
A lot of Robin and Morgan’s guests were from all over the country so we wanted to include “normal” shots here on the blog, not just the really artistic stuff. Aren’t they cute?!?!
Smoochie smoochie!
This is Robin’s son, later on he enjoyed break dancing at the reception!
Obviously there were a ton of ceremony and formal shots but I try to keep my blogs to 10 or less photos, so here’s a fun one after all the formal photos were done. Everyone had to be so careful around all the flower petals and I could tell the kids really wanted to have some fun, so with Robin’s permission, this is what we came up with:
After the ceremony, we had TEN MINUTES on the Avi’s golf course. And it wasn’t much more than ten minutes.. but we got at least a dozen nice shots. Jeremy was doing the actual shooting while I did the posing, that helped to speed things up a bit.
This one will require you to click the photo, it is actually a panorama, comprised of 5 separate (portrait-oriented) photos, and “stitched” together in PhotoShop. The full-size photo could easily print at 3 feet tall by 9 feet wide and is 140 megabytes in size (this version is downsized for the web of course)!
A zoom on the bridge with a great reflection and a reverse-vignette.
On the shore, another nice reflection…
Cool perspective shot on the bridge itself:
On the way back in, Jeremy got a shot that you just can’t get in Vegas… they let them pose on a blackjack table!
I got something like 1200 photos at the reception and at the time of this posting, am still going through all of them to do color correction, exposure correction, cropping, etc. I have to say it was a very fun reception, from the “first dance” that was more like a Rock the Reception dance… to people dancing on the stage (dollar bills were being utilized in one instance – of course it didn’t get too out of hand!)… it was a real blast!
Jeremy and I (and our sons) enjoyed the “working vacation” and stayed 2 more days in Laughlin, hanging by the pool and just relaxing. Thanks Robin and Morgan!

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!
