Las Vegas Strip Wedding Photography | April & Chase {Part 2}

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to post one last blog before the Christmas and New Years holidays!  This is another one about April and Chase's wedding earlier this month at Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip.  I'm going to make this short and sweet and mostly about the photos as I am currently in the Las Vegas airport about to board my flight home to Wisconsin for a week.

These are mostly group photos from the day of the wedding party and one of their entire wedding, including all their guests!  Yes, I said all their guests!

Beautiful bride, April with her bridesmaids.

Handsome group of guys if you ask me :)

After the group photos, I took April and Chase around the casino for some quick couple photos!

They showed me this amazing location in front of Mandalay Bay with views of the front of the casino and even beautiful waterfalls!  It was seriously breathtaking and I had no idea it even existed.

After some quick couple photos, we headed to their reception at RM Seafood at Mandalay Bay for some dinner and of course, wedding cake!

Cake cuttings always start out so happy!  And then someone inevitably gets cake in their face...

To finish off the reception, April and Chase did a successful bouquet and garter toss!

That's all for now!  I will be taking a small blogging hiatus for a few weeks for the holidays and then a week long trip to the Bahamas until January 15th.  Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!  Time to board this plane :)

Thanks for reading!

Las Vegas Strip Wedding Photography | April & Chase {Part 1}

Hey Everyone! I just photographed April and Chase's wedding last Thursday at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino!  They were married in the Chapel there where no outside photography is allowed during the ceremony but they hired me to get photos before and after the wedding.

April and Chase are from Texas and had about 60 friends and family make the trip to Las Vegas for their wedding!  It was a beautiful ceremony at a beautiful venue.  It even rained on their wedding day which is good luck I hear!  It must be extra good luck in Las Vegas because it very rarely rains here :)

This blog is all about the details from the day.  These were all pretty much taken before the ceremony.  Here are some of my favorite detail shots!

Here's the beautiful bride April getting last minute touches on her makeup.

I'm loving the black and white wedding trend.  Here are April's shoes with the rainy gloomy day in the background out the window!

Her beautiful dress and amazing veil!

Maid of Honor, Heather, helping April in her dress.

Chase in his boutonniere.  Don't worry, he wasn't in the same room before the ceremony!

Some of Aprils wedding day bling.

April's teary-eyed father came after she was ready to walk her down the aisle!

Here we go!!  One last look at herself in the mirror and an exhale on her way out to the Chapel.

Now, outside photography isn't allowed but I'm just not allowed to use a flash or move around in the Chapel so I was able to capture a few special moments!  Here is their first married kiss and heading back down the aisle together as a married couple!

And of course, their rings!

Here's just a detail of outside the Mandalay Bay Wedding Chapel.

Congratulations April and Chase!  That's all for now but check back soon for more photos from after the ceremony!
