Las Vegas Arts District Engagement Photography | Casey & Tommy

Hey Everyone! After a blogging hiatus, I'm back with some of my favorite photos to date!  Sorry for taking a month or so off of blogging, but after a crazy Summer and Fall, I needed a little time off:)

Casey and Tommy purchased a Groupon for their engagement session and have also booked me for their wedding on April 1st.  Yes, they are aware that it's April Fools day!  I even mentioned this fact to them at their engagement session just to be sure:)   They're hoping that not too many jokes are played on them on their wedding day... so Friends and Family reading this, take it easy on them, ok?  Ha!

We decided to head to the Las Vegas Art District for their session.  I had never shot there before and have been wanting to for a while so I was really excited when Casey agreed to try it out!  We met at the Bar + Bistro at the Arts Factory and decided to have a drink to chat for a little before we started.  I had probably my favorite Bloody Mary in Las Vegas!  Then we headed out for their session and wandered around the area taking photos and having fun!  Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Thanks for the fun day Casey and Tommy!  Really looking forward to the wedding!

I'll post a link to their album once it's finished.

Fremont Street Engagement Photography | Keri & Jason

Hey Everyone! I'm so excited for this blog post because it was one of my favorite sessions of all time!  Keri and Jason are an engaged couple getting married in Vegas and came to town for their engagement photos as well.  They came to town with Keri's parents, Sandy and Tom, who have been married for over 30 years!  Tom and Sandy haven't had any professional photos taken together since their wedding so Keri asked if it would be ok for them to tag a long and to get some photos of them as well!  My answer was, of course, "Yes!"

I met the group a couple hours before sunset on Fremont Street on a Sunday.  The Packers were playing that day so I wore a Packer shirt to support my (undefeated) team.  Little did I know that Keri and her parents were fellow Packer fans and so we obviously hit it off right away!

The five of us walked along the Fremont Street Experience to get some Vegas-Style photos and here are some of my favorites from the session.

Keri and Jason!

Can't even believe the amazing light in this photo... oh and the couple is cute too :)

Here's the whole group together at Main Street Station off of my "secret" balcony!

Keri's awesome ring!  I might love it because it looks a lot like mine.... maybe...

One of my favorites of Sandy and Tom kissing!

So cute together and clearly in love.

Keri is so cute here!

Another one off the Secret Balcony!

This sign is my absolute favorite to take photos at!  I love this jumping photo on the right.

That's all for tonight!

Old Las Vegas Wedding Photography | Carla & James Eloped!

Hey Everyone! It's time (so soon, I know) for another blog!!!  This one is of Carla and James, a couple from Canada who came to Las Vegas to elope and hired me for a little post-ceremony photo session.  We originally wanted to take photos at the Neon Museum but because of a Photoshop seminar in town, scheduling there didn't work out :(  But we made the best of it and went to Fremont Street for some Old-School Vegas photos.

We met on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Fremont Street to start out.  One of my favorite bars in Las Vegas has to be Insert Coin(s)(which is just East of the intersection) where there are tons of old arcade games to play while drinking beer and listening to music.  There are even lounge areas where you can play video games on big flat screen TV's on big plush couches!  So we decided to go in for a few photos and to play a few games.

James headed straight to Tron.

We then just meandered down Fremont through the Fremont Street Experience.  There are so many things going on and so many fun photo ops in Old Las Vegas.  It's always an adventure.  Here are some of my favorites from the evening.

These two are so adorable together!

I seriously LOVE this one under the awning of the Plaza Hotel.

Jumping for joy that they're married!

I sure have a lot of photos of these two kissing... :)

Love this black and white on Fremont Street!

Near the end of the night, they did a quick wardrobe change at Main Street Casino.  We found this amazing little secret balcony and staircase.  That's what I love about Old Las Vegas, hidden little gems that you'd never find on the Strip.

We were just having so much fun that we totally lost track of time!  Carla and James literally had to jump into a cab to make their dinner reservation on time.

Congratulations Carla and James!  It was so great meeting you both!

I'll post a link to their entire album when it's up.
