Las Vegas Photographer for Weddings and Event Photography TiffanyG

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!

I absolutely LOVE Lorin over at the Hampton Inn on Tropicana (the Southwest Event Center). I feel comfortable saying I am highly recommended by her, and I know I highly recommend her venue.

This is a great near-strip venue for both locals and destination brides. I cannot say enough how well-run this place is, down to every detail. The entire staff is great, the food is wonderful and receptions always are a blast there!

D. Jay’s Entertainment provides Disc Jockey/MC services to many events there, and either one of my assistants or I do the photography.

Lorin asked me to provide some photos for their website, and I was happy to oblige. These are from an event back in August; I took some shots specifically for their use… and made one of my new Flash videos for them, too!

Robert and Melody are natural models, and both of them were GORGEOUS! We had an absolute blast on our Las Vegas Strip Photography Tour just before their wedding ceremony. I couldn’t believe how relaxed they were, even considering they were getting married in just a couple hours!

We spent 2 hours visiting the famous Welcome “To Las Vegas” sign, then to New York New York, Bellagio (inside and out), and Paris.

When it was all said-and-done, I had over 200 pictures which edited down to around 160 nice ones, and I did “special processing” to about 30 of them.

I’ve had a lot of prospective clients and viewers of this blog ask HOW I do this processing. I’m not one to keep secrets so I’ll describe the processing as I post the photos… I won’t get too technical, don’t worry!

This processing included a color saturation effect, a bit of a dreamy blur, some very specific adjustment of light/dark in certain parts of the photo, and one of my client’s favorites: “glam blur”. The overall effect of the processing makes the photo very “colorful” and the glam blur gives the skin a nice natural smooth look (and reduces wrinkles which was NOT needed for this shoot):

Isn’t this ADORABLE? As I said, they were great at taking suggestions and this was one of the first photos I snapped at this location. Perfect! Processing is similar to the above photo.

For this photo, I wanted to portray a “dreamy” or “floating” feeling. I purposefully over-exposed the background (see how it’s too bright?) and then made the photo into two “layers”. On the top layer, I used a heavy blur effect, then I selectively “erased” the blurring effect on the important parts (their faces and bodies). I left some of their bodies blurry to increase the dream effect.

I know I’ve already done a shot SORT OF like the following (see Marius and Tamika’s blog post). After I took that shot I had been waiting to get another couple to the same location to make the shot a little better. This one is more posed and has a bit more processing.

It’s the “standard” process for Selective Color, basically I have a color layer and a b/w layer in Photoshop. The b/w layer is on top and I selectively “erase” portions of that layer to let the color show through from the bottom. On this shot, it’s only the “passion” words. I also did some blurring of the far background and a gradient blur of the edge of the post (so the front edge is less blurred than the rear).

I asked the couple to have some fun in front of the fountain and got about 10 nice shots. These three seemed to fit together very well for a “series” type photo. All I did was create a new file and paste the photos into it, then put a thin black line between each photo, and added a frame. The processing on the photos below was just some saturation and light/dark levels.

Remember, click on ANY photo in my blog to see a larger version. This one should probably be clicked!

After the shoot, Robert and Melody left for the airport (helipad) and were married in a helicopter above the city at sunset. How cool is that!?!?

It’s difficult to choose a D.J. in Las Vegas. I work with the DJs at D. Jay’s Entertainment on a regular basis and they ALWAYS put on a great show! They keep the party moving without seeming rushed and since we all work together so often, we know the format and what to expect next. That means no missed photos!

So if you are planning a Las Vegas Wedding and need a disc jockey, call D. Jay’s Entertainment and rest assured your disc jockey will do a GREAT job!

Since not all photography is “Las Vegas Photography”, I frequent a lot of message boards for photographers from all over the world where we share our photos and critique each other’s work. Every once in a while I’ll show a photo that my client ABSOLUTELY LOVES, but the pro photogs will absolutely HATE. Usually that’s for very technical reasons…. exposure, flash use, shadows, etc.

Of course, like all Photographers, I strive to take a perfect “technical” picture every time. But sometimes, that just doesn’t happen. What I DO almost always get is the EMOTION… the “moment”. You won’t find me missing a shot because I’m adjusting my flash or the lighting isn’t just right! Photoshop does some amazing things!

Anyway, I was thinking about my personal theory on Photography, as it relates to my work here, for weddings, family, sports, and some portrait photography. I decided that I would write my 5 “goals”, in order, and publicize those goals to my clients and potential clients.

Here goes:

1. Capture the “moment” and the “emotion”. This includes helping the client(s) get into a good mindset so I can get good photos (ie. having fun when appropriate!).
2. Make sure my client will like (or love) the shot. Consult to find out the client’s styles and wants, but push creative/artistic boundaries. Don’t forget about the “must have” poses/photos.
3. Composition/Exposure/Lighting. Understand that good composition (or cropping) and processing can make a mediocre photo/moment into an “OH WOW” photo. While on-location, take a good “technical” shot, but don’t shortchange the client by giving them an unfinished photo! Post Processing can make the difference!
4. Run a smooth and organized photoshoot. Especially with group pictures or with the formal photography before/after a wedding ceremony - the family and guests appreciate a photographer who can (nicely) “take charge” and get the pictures done quickly and professionally.
5. Quality above quantity. HOWEVER, especially with event photography, most clients do want “candid” or “snapshot” type photos of their friends and family. Not every photo needs to be magazine-quality, but make them magazine-quality when it’s appropriate.

Thank you for reading this longer-than-normal blog post. I hope it gives you a bit more insight into my style!

Comments welcome, of course!!
