> Las Vegas Backyard Wedding Photography

Brent and Liz are great friends of mine and Eric's.  Brent and Eric know each other through poker and became fast friends.  I'd say that Liz and I hit it off right away as well.  It might be the midwesterners in us! Liz first met Brent's sister, Ashley, though work and they became good friends. Such good friends actually, that Ashley invited Liz to the annual Hanksfest in her hometown in upstate New York.  Hanksfest has become a notorious party where the Hanks family and their friends get together for a weekend of camping, drinking, socializing, listening to Leroy Townes live, and just an all around good time.  This is where Brent and Liz met and from what I understand, the rest is history.  These two are such a good match for each other.  Anybody can tell when you meet them and I can't even count the times I heard people saying it over the weekend!

Brent and Liz decided to get married in Las Vegas where they both live now.  The ceremony was at the beautiful Red Rock Country Club and the reception was in the backyard of a house some of their friends rent out, most commonly known as "The Vine".  The backyard was perfect for their laid back reception with a pig roast, open bar, and full stage for Leroy Townes to play all night long (or until there were enough neighbor complaints!)  It was only fitting for Leroy Townes to play at their wedding since they had played live the weekend they met!  (This band is so good people!  If you haven't heard of them, head over to iTunes immediately to check them out.)  Guests were told to feel free to dress down for the backyard reception and flannels were abundant and I may have even seen some onesie pajamas!  The whole day was very much "Brent and Liz"; a laid-back, good time, with a lot of great people and amazing music.

I could go on and on about this seriously amazing couple, but I'll stop so you can see some photos from their wedding!  Here are some of my favorites from the day.

> Wisconsin Engagement Photography

Martha and Casey are engaged and getting married in Door County, Wisconsin next year! I'm super excited for Martha because I've known her for years.  We've come a long way from driving around, family-style, in our Buick's through our hometown.  Martha is just as adorable and exuberant as she was back then.  She's got a personality that can put a smile on literally anyones face, no matter what their mood.  I know why Casey fell so hard for my friend!

When they first met, Martha lived in Madison and Casey lived in Chicago.  They did the long distance thing for a while but couldn't stand living apart so they moved in with each other somewhere in between earlier this year and were engaged soon after.

I met them at their apartment in Delafield, WI (the cutest little town I've ever seen) and we headed out for some photos at the Military Academy nearby.  There was an amazing stone church there with the most beautiful light, the kind I NEVER get in the desert! Then we went to a park around Lake Nagawicka right around sunset.  Martha brought along this beautiful quilt made by her Aunt Janette out of her Grandmother's dresses.  It is such a beautiful token of her family history.  Here are some of my favorites from my session with them!

Congratulations you two!  It was so great to catch up!  Your Door County wedding is going to be beautiful.

> Las Vegas Strip Portrait Photography

Jackson, Andre and I have been trying to get together for photos for so long!  We were finally able to meet up last weekend and it was so great to meet this couple.  Jackson and Andre have been together for 12 years and married for about 5.  Both are Las Vegas locals, and Jackson was born and raised here!  I love meeting Las Vegas natives because I don't come across many here and I like to hear why they love living here, just like I do.

Jackson is in Real Estate and Andre is a videographer who does work on videos for Jay-Z's YouTube channel!  So cool, right?!  I couldn't have asked for a nicer couple to spend some time with and photograph last weekend.   Here are some of my favorites from our session on the Las Vegas Strip!
