Las Vegas Wedding Photographer – Best of 2008

01 January 2009 Written by TiffanyG 0 Comments

Ok, everyone is doing it so I guess I will too! As a Las Vegas Wedding Photographer I have many great memories from 2008. Here’s my Top 5:

Pre-List: It should go without saying that my brides and grooms have made most of my best memories – without exception I’ve been amazed at how COOL my clients are; I seem to attract very laid-back couples – either that or (as I’ve been told) I tend to MAKE them be laid-back and relaxed. Either way, my 2008 Brides and Grooms were AWESOME to work with!

Now for the list:

Far and away my best photography-related memory for 2008: Working with Autism Speaks. I did a blog about this HERE. For both myself and for Jeremy, this was an amazingly rewarding organization to be involved with.
Receiving the “Creme de la Creme” (Best of the Best) award from WeddingMBA, the Wedding Merchant’s Business Academy. It’s great to win awards from our bride’s recommendations (like the 2007 Best of Weddings that we won from TheKnot magazine)… but when we were one of only around 20 companies IN THE ENTIRE USA to win this award, it’s a HUGE accomplishment!
This one may sound funny, but I enjoyed making several of my brides CRY this year. Don’t worry, it’s in a good way… brides almost always get a bit teary-eyed when they come into the office to review their wedding photography! It usually happens right around the “first kiss” photo. But it does make me feel good that I was able to Capture the Emotion, and help revive that emotion later on!
This one may be a little self-serving but I always very much enjoy seeing positive reviews for my work, whether it’s here on my blog (and you can see recent comments in the right-side margin OR by clicking at the bottom of a post where it says “xx Comments”. I am also proud of all of the 5-Star ratings and great reviews that D. Jay’s Entertainment (and myself, and my photographers) received on multiple online ratings websites, like WeddingWire, OpenList, and Kudzu. In 2008, we became Las Vegas’s Highest-Rated and most Award-Winning DJ and Photography company!
New contacts – wedding planners and wedding/reception facilities, and being invited to either be EXCLUSIVE, or on their Preferred Vendor list. We are on over 2 DOZEN Preferred Vendor lists, and are exclusive with many Wedding Planners and wedding/reception faclilities. I’m also very proud of the Endorsements that we’ve received at WeddingWire (click link and scroll down just a little bit to see the endorsements)!

2008 has been an amazing year business-wise, and I know my photography has developed (pun intended) greatly this year – at the beginning of the year I decided that I would start being a “Contemporary” photographer… photojournalistic, cutting-edge, with tasteful processing done to my photos. No more “shoot and print”… I have been working on making each of my photos more than just a photo… possibly touching on ‘art’!

Thank you to all of my brides and grooms for a great 2008! And, I’m looking forward to all my new weddings for 2009!

Automotive Photography at Red Rock Canyon

18 October 2008 Written by TiffanyG 2 Comments

I hope you don’t mind the quick departure from Las Vegas Wedding Photography; please indulge me for a moment.

Remember a month or so ago I mentioned that we like to get out and “Challenge” ourselves with shoots of things other than people? Well, last weekend we took our Subaru out to Red Rock (inspired after shooting Christina and Jeremy’s Mustang).

Jeremy has been shooting automotive and motorsports on-and-off for 20 years so he took the lead in this shoot. Sorry for the watermarks, we typically don’t watermark our images but unfortunately the automotive-photo industry is a lot different than the wedding industry…

Our 14-year-old son clicked the shutter on this one, after we set all the settings for him. I think he’s a pro photographer in the making!

So, how can I relate this to Las Vegas Wedding Photography? Well, how about this… if you are a “car person” and want portraits with your car, or just portraits of your car, then give me a call!

Autism Speaks – Las Vegas Photography at Sam Boyd Stadium

15 October 2008 Written by TiffanyG 1 Comment

Jeremy and I recently were asked to be involved in an organization called “Autism Speaks“. It’s a national not-for-profit organization, and (from their website), here’s their cause:

“We are dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.“

When Jenifer from the Texas Station chapel and banquet/reception/meetings department asked us to volunteer our time to Photograph and DJ for this amazing event, we immediately jumped at the chance! I normally don’t brag about the volunteer work that we do for not-for-profit organizations but I wanted to post this to help promote the Walk and also to support Autism Speaks.

A few days before the event, KVBC (the Local NBC affiliate) came to our office, along with Megan and her mom. We met Megan at the kick-off dinner and she aspires to be a radio DJ… so we invited her to be our “guest DJ” during the Walk. Here she is, being interviewed in our office, standing next to one of our smaller DJ setups.
