Angela + Zhar > Las Vegas Wedding

Angela & Zhar joined their families on May 21st.  I say this because their union is about so much more than just the two of them.  This couple's wedding day celebrated not only their love for each other, but also the abundance of love for their family members, who joined in on their special day from all over the world.  There was even a special surprise video message from Angela's brother who is currently serving in the military and could not make it to the wedding in person.  Tears were shed, laughs were had, stories were told, and most importantly, a lifelong commitment was made.  Angela & Zhar have come a long way since their first date at McDonalds, and that's another thing I love about this couple: they are real and genuine with each other and everyone else around them.  Their love speaks for it's self.

There were so many moments of Angela & Zhar's wedding day that spoke to me that I've included in this post!  I tried to narrow it down even more but felt that it wasn't really telling the whole story of their day.  So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and get comfortable because this is a long one!

Angela + Zhar > Downtown Las Vegas Engagement

A couple of weeks ago, I met Zhar and the beautiful Angela downtown for their engagement session!  It seems like downtown changes so quickly lately, that this session was a bit of an adventure because there was new stuff around every corner.  What I love about Old Vegas right now is that there is a great mix of old and new that gives the area a familiar, yet exciting feel.  

Angela & Zhar are originally from Hawaii where they first met. They'll be getting married here in Henderson/Las Vegas next May and I'm so excited to be a part of their wedding as well!  Here are a few of my favorites from their downtown adventure engagement session with me.

> Snowy Wisconsin Engagement Photography

I've known Kyle since he was 13.  I can honestly say that he is one of my favorite people from our hometown of Beaver Dam, WI!  Ever since him and Kristen started dating when they were in college together at UW-Whitewater, I've been telling him that "when he proposes to Kristen, I want to shoot his wedding one day"!  Fast forward a few years and here I am, photographing their snowy Madison, Wisconsin engagement session and their Summer wedding in a few months. Kristen and Kyle were both athletes at Whitewater where they met.  They are an adorable, fun-loving couple who are so obviously in love (You'll see in the images below).  We met up near Lake Monona in Madison, WI for their engagement session.  We completely lucked out with the perfect weather conditions which created all the beautiful frost on the trees the night before.  We couldn't have asked for a better day complete with a frozen lake, the Madison skyline, frosty trees, and a toboggan!  Here are some of my favorites from their snowy engagement session with me.
