Britta + Tony > Spring Mountain Ranch Wedding

Britta and Tony are Nevada State Troopers who are into comics, lizards, being complete badasses, and of course, each other :) This superhero/cop themed wedding fit their personalities perfectly. From the comic book invites, to the superhero lego men boutonnieres, to the (super cool) cop & superhero cake, this day screamed Britta and Tony and they would't have had it any other way.  

I met Britta and her bridesmaids at the Red Rock Resort & Casino where she was getting ready.  With a Pabst Blue Ribbon in hand, this bride was ready to take on the day.  After a short limo ride to Spring Mountain Ranch, this laid back wedding was about to begin.  Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Kristen + Kyle > Southern Wisconsin Wedding Photography

There's really nothing like a Wisconsin wedding.  They are SO much fun.  There's always lots of laughing, drinking, eating, dancing, and memories made.  Kristen and Kyle's Wisconsin wedding was no exception.  I don't think I've ever seen more laughs and tears of joy during the course of a wedding day.

Kristen and Kyle are a perfect match for each other.  I've known Kyle for a long time and Kristen compliments his personality so well!  They definitely balance each other out and support each other in everything they do.  It only makes sense to me that they have surrounded themselves by just as supportive and loving family and friends on their wedding day.

Rain was looming but the skies only opened up during the wedding ceremony.  Our trip to the local botanical gardens proved to be a rain-less success which was lucky because the bride and groom were traveling in the brides late Grandfather's Model A car in the open-air back seat.  The wedding party traveled in a 1980's RV that I'm quite envious of and made for some of my favorite photos of the "in-between" moments.

Congratulations Kristen and Kyle! Here are some of my favorite photos from your Janesville wedding.

Jess + Dan > Las Vegas Arts District Vow Renewal

Hello! I'm here on a Monday evening to show you some images so full of love and admiration that they are infectious.

Jess and Dan are a couple from Australia who have been married for 5 years.  They had a traditional wedding back in Oz so they decided to have a little fun with their 5 year vow renewal.  And by "fun", I mean "Elvis".  They had a little "Elvis" with their 5 year vow renewal!  I'll get back to that in just a bit.

I met Jess and Dan in front of the Bellagio to take in some amazing views of the fountains and the strip.  When they walked up to me, I was pretty amazed by their outfits... you see, they purchased them at a thrift store (known to Aussies as "op shops") and, as my nephew so perfectly put it, "they look like a King and Queen!".  Now, I'm not sure if they planned that, exactly, but you will see what my nephew means below.  *cough* *coattails* *cough*

While at the Bellagio, they did a little reverse-reanactment of their proposal this time with Jess down on one knee presenting Dan with a watch she had gifted him for the occasion.  This couple is so loving and playful, they just have fun with everything!

Soon, the hired car picked us up and took us to Graceland Chapel in Old Vegas for Elvis to renew their vows.  Unfortunately, the Chapel wouldn't allow outside photography.  You'll have to take my word for it, it was so gloriously, fun, funny, cheesy, and a just plain awesome experience for Jess and Dan (and even me, who was able to witness the event).  The Chapel did allow us to take photos outside so you will see a much more mild portion of our time at the Graceland Chapel below.

After the Chapel, we headed to the Las Vegas Arts District for Jess and Dan to  say some more personal vows to one another and for some more photos!  We even had a few extra minutes at the very end to stop by the Fremont Street Experience.  Here are some of my favorites from Jess & Dan's vow renewal. It was so great to meet you Jess & Dan!  Congrats on your 5 year anniversary.
