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.

Mario and Micky had a beautiful ceremony at St. Jude’s in Boulder City and then we did a Strip Tour with the entire wedding party. St. Judes is absolutely amazing, but small, with tons of color.  So for this shoot I decided to process high-saturation and bright colors. I think this also matches Micky’s personality…

This first photo is after getting ready at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. Yes, I know I do this photo a lot but hey, if the brides love it then give them what they love!

Mario and his wedding party… Lynn shot this one.

I’m pretty sure that Lynn caught this one (there are 1400 photos from this event, I got a similar one but this one was better). CLASSIC (and priceless!).

The new happy couple! I post this with no offense to Mario but he’s not much of a “smiler”. I was VERY happy to get a nice, genuine smile in this photo!

It’s hard NOT to smile with all these beautiful women posing around you! Mario is really cheesin’ on this one!

Now off to the Strip…. I’ve done this shot a few times and I think this is the best one so far.

Surprisingly, this is NOT posed. The guys were waiting while I was shooting something else. This is one of the very few that I processed differently - I saw “Rat Pack” and “Classic Vegas” in this photo so I desaturated the colors and gave it a classic look. What’s funny is that I’ve spent several minutes “posing” similar photos to LOOK un-posed, but these guys just naturally made this near-perfect shot!

Some dreamy couple’s shots…

This one begged to be made into a “chocolate” black and white. Plus we love to give variety of processing…

Ok, admittedly there’s a few technical posing things wrong with this photo but something about it makes me really like it. I think the weird “lean” that Mario is doing is a perfect compliment (contrast?) to the loose and fun pose for Micky. This is a love-it-or-hate-it shot. I love it but I’m sure many will hate it.

What a crazy day - shooting in 3 different locations with a HUGE wedding party. Mario and Micky were awesome, though, and the day was mega-fun!

I find myself at Lake Las Vegas more and more often - it’s just such a beautiful place. Another thing I like about it is that I always seem to find a new place to take engagement pictures. On this 2-hour shoot, we got 28 unique poses in over 20 unique locations!

I start off with every couple at the waterfall near the front entrance. The photos start out very basic and usually I don’t even plan on using them - it’s just a way to get the couple accustomed to having their picture taken. But, this one came out pretty nice (albeit pretty standard):

Here’s a pose I use quite often, but try to change it up a little for each couple. Can’t you just feel the emotion?

Towards the end of the shoot, the sun was coming down and I had to attempt a photo that really isn’t good for my camera… as a matter of fact I have to override the “protection” that the camera has that protects the sensor from burning out. It’s slightly dangerous to the camera but the end result is worth it!

We tried to make it to the front entrance again, for a sunset shot from the rusty steel bridge. It was very dark under the trees on the bridge, and we were a little late for the sunset, but it came out nice. For any of my photographer friends out there, I think you’ll agree that this is actually a very difficult shot - getting the natural light of the sunset while still using the flash to illuminate the subjects… all while not allowing the background to be too dark or the subjects get “blown out” by the flash. Either way, this photo marks a great ending to a very fun shoot!
