Las Vegas Photographer for Weddings and Event Photography TiffanyG

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!
