Las Vegas Wedding Photography | Jenny & Nick | Springs Preserve

Hey Everyone! I have been wanting to photograph a wedding at Springs Preserve for sooooo long and I finally had the opportunity to do so a couple of weeks ago!  Jenny and Nick also bought a Groupon for a 2 hour photo shoot and then decided to book me for a couple more hours on top of that for their special day.  Now, if you put two and two together, you will realize that my business was a Groupon on June 12th, and this wedding was on June 30th!  I'm pretty sure that these two planned a wedding in about a month!  With my wedding planning so far... I have NO IDEA how they were able to accomplish this feat.  Luckily they got married on a Thursday so a lot of vendors (including me) were available :)

The whole day was a pretty short one with the ceremony at 11:30 and the reception ending at 4pm.  I arrived at around 10am to get some photos of Jenny getting ready and to get some shots of the couple before the ceremony.  Here is one of Jenny looking herself over just before she went to see Nick for the first time!

And then for their First-Look!

Just a standard "Mary Meyer" photo that I like to take at all my weddings :)

The beautiful bride Jenny!!  She was absolutely STUNNING.

Here is a photo of Jenny and Nick just having a little fun before the ceremony.  It helps to loosen up a little!

Springs Preserve is such a beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding!

This is one of my favorites of the couple after the ceremony!

And for the finale...the bling!

My first wedding at Springs Preserve was a really great one and I think that has a lot to do with the great couple I got to work with and their awesome family and friends!  I just love working on their photos because it's hard not to feel happy seeing their spirit and love for each other that shows through.  I'm guessing you see it too :)

Thanks for reading!!

Las Vegas Wedding Photography | Kristin & Ryan Welch | 5.7.11- Part 2

Hey Everyone! It's time for some more photos from Kristin and Ryan's wedding!  Their wedding at the M Resort and Casino was a blast and oh so beautiful!  Ryan is a Professional Poker Player here in Las Vegas and Kristin likes to dabble in the game herself.  It was only fitting to get some wedding photos in the Poker Room because they spend time there together and with friends.  Of course, the first hand played, Kristin won and raked in a HUUUUUGE pot!

Here's a closeup of Kristin showing off her chip-handling skills!

Before the ceremony, we also got some group shots.  Here's the guys and girls groups.

Kristin's flowers were gorgeous!!

Here's the beautiful bride just minutes before she walked down the aisle!

First married kisses are my absolute favorite!  Especially when the Groom lifts the Bride off the floor like Ryan did here :)

I'll end this post with one of my favorite photos from the wedding.  We went out by the pool at sunset and captured some truly memorable photos after dinner.

I love this couple!

Thanks for reading :)

Las Vegas Wedding Photography | Kristin & Ryan's Wedding | Part 1

Hey Everyone! This Saturday, some of my really good friends got married in Las Vegas!  I met Kristin and Ryan about a year ago and Kristin and I have basically been inseparable ever since.  I love her so much and I'm really happy that I was able to capture this special day for her and Ryan:)

I arrived at Kristin's hotel room at about noon on Saturday to get some shots of her dress, shoes, ring, and her getting ready.  Her dress is so beautiful!

Luckily Ryan is super tall so Kristin could wear these:

I'm not going to lie, the first thing I noticed about Kristin when I met her was her amazing ring!  It is STUNNING!

Kristin has a team of girls working on her and her 11 bridesmaids!

And to take the edge off right before she went down to see Ryan for the first time...

Ryan had no idea that Kristin was going to come see him at this moment.  As you can tell by the look on his face in this first "First Look" photo.

Once it finally hit him, he was nothing but smiles:)

That's all for now!  Lots of photos from this beautiful wedding to come in the next few weeks so keep checking back.
