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.

Shawn + Ari > Downtown Las Vegas Photography

Last Thursday I met Shawn and Ari downtown for a quick couples session.  They came from Oregon to watch the World Hip Hop Dance Competition and to have a little Vegas getaway (Ari is a Hip Hop dance instructor in Eugene).  Shawn and Ari have been married for a few years now and with a two year old at home, Shawn decided to treat his wife to a couple of surprises while in Las Vegas. The planned surprises were a photoshoot with me and tickets to the Justin Timberlake concert the following night! When they each tried to surprise each other with tickets to the JT concert, they realized quickly that maybe they should let the cat out of the bag so they didn't double up on surprises for each other!

The love and affection between these two is so apparent and infectious in these images. Here are some of my favorites from their session downtown!

Chelli + Kurt > Southeastern Wisconsin Farmstead Engagement Photography

Last week I went to Wisconsin to spend some time with family and friends. They have had one of the worst Winters on record and Spring hasn't been that great either. I had an engagement session scheduled for Chelli & Kurt on one of my last days in town and I became increasingly worried that we would have a cold and rainy day for our time together. I'm not sure how... but on the day of our session, the clouds parted and we had the most beautiful day that Wisconsin has had so far this Spring! I woke up Sunday morning, sighed a huge sigh of relief, and met Chelli and Kurt that evening at the Megger's farm right outside of town. Chelli & Kurt are from my hometown of Beaver Dam and met in High School. I'll also be photographing this couple's wedding in December. Here's hoping that this Winter pales in comparison to last!

Chelli & Kurt are so at ease with each other and Chelli's smile and laughter are undeniably infectious. This combination made for an amazing engagement session with lots of genuine moments of joy and obvious mutual admiration and love for one another. Here are a few of my favorites from their session on a beautiful day in May in Wisconsin! Can't wait for their snowy wedding later this year!  Thanks for reading!
