The other day I had an Engagement shoot with an adorable couple from Texas, Amanda and Michael.  They wanted to have their photos on the strip because it was in Las Vegas where Michael proposed to Amanda!  He popped the question at the Venetian so we definitely had to get some shots there to start out.  While we were there, I was asking for engagement details and Michael had this big elaborate romantic plan to ask Amanda on the balcony above the front entrance to the casino looking out on to the strip.  That was how it was, ugh... supposed to happen... Amanda got sick that night and he ended up asking her in the room.  But hey, they can still say that they got engaged in Vegas, right??Here is the balcony at the Venetian on which the proposal was going to happen, it made for some beautiful photos and was very romantic!  Nice work Michael!

This is another one from the front of the Venetian where the gondolas are docked when not in use

Next we headed over to Aria and were able to sweet talk the security guard to let us into the pool area without a room key
Amanda warned me that since her and Michael have been together for eight years that they aren't really lovey dovey and that I may need to give them directions on how to be so for pictures!  But she assured me that they DO really love each other:)  It was clear to me that they were in love, and I really didn't have to direct them to portray that!
Here is one of my favorites from the day.
Amanda and Michael were such a great couple. It was a lot of fun for me hang out with them for a couple hours and photograph their obvious love for each other!  I wish them a very happy marriage, but I don't think that they need my wishes for that to come true :)
Thanks for reading,
