Las Vegas Photography | Engagement | Justin & Heather

Hey everyone! I was contacted by Justin to take engagement photos of him and his fiance Heather on the Las Vegas Strip!  I could tell through emailing with Justin that him and Heather would be a fun couple to hang out with for a few hours.  They are from right outside Detroit, Michigan.  I don't know what it is about people from the Midwest, but I swear, that we all are just subconsciously drawn to each other and get along immediately!  Maybe it's just me, but it really felt like I knew these two for years after photographing them for 20 minutes.

Justin and Heather booked me for 2.5 hours so we would definitely have time to make it to the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign:

I don't know if you can have a Las Vegas Strip photo shoot without a stop at the AMAZING chandelier bar at the Cosmopolitan!

Another one with the beautiful afternoon light coming in at the Cosmo.

I'm really loving silhouette photos lately.  These are from a maintenance stairway by the Aria pool!

The bling bling!  I also loved Heather's bracelets to match :)

These two were so in love and they have been together since High School!  I love a good High School Sweetheart story since I'm with my High School Sweetheart too:

Justin and Heather are getting married in Vegas in about a year and a half!  Congrats you two on your engagement and I hope to see more of you!

Thanks for reading!

Las Vegas Photography | Surprise Bridal Shower | Kristin Bachman

Hey Everyone! One of my best friends here in Las Vegas is getting married on May 7th!  Some of our friends and me decided to throw Kristin a surprise Bridal Shower a couple of weeks ago and asked her to come to our friends house for a "BBQ" to "catch up".  Kristin had no idea and was definitely surprised!!

Now... Kristin works out a lot and is always wearing sweats.  Since this was somewhat of an important event for a bride, the host told her to dress up for the "BBQ".  Kristin thought it would be hilarious to show up in a prom dress and a fur so that's why she's in this get-up!  She called me that morning to tell me her little plan and I, of course, encouraged her!  hahaha!

Remnants from a game we played:

There was a luau theme complete with crepe paper parrots!

Near the end, Kristin opened gifts (which she's already put to good use)

The surprise shower was a great success!  I can't wait for the wedding in a couple of weeks:)

Las Vegas Wedding Photography | Danielle & Joe | Las Vegas Strip

Hey Everyone! Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph Danielle and Joe on their wedding day!  You may recognize this couple as I posted a previous blog of their engagement photos at Red Rock Canyon.  You can find that post here.

As I mentioned before, Danielle is from my hometown of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.  It was great to see a lot of fellow Beaver Dammers at the wedding :)

Danielle and Joe were married at Treasure Island at the Wedding Chapel.  As a part of their wedding package, they received photography during their ceremony and I was unable to move around and get photos but Danielle and Joe hired me for before and after the ceremony.

Now... before the ceremony, we had time slots set up for the Groom's side and Bride's side and their families to get some photos out of the way.  When the groom didn't show up for his 2:30 time slot and I couldn't get ahold of the bride, I was, to say the least, a little worried!  Luckily Danielle is a laid back kind of girl and when I broke the news to her, she just rolled with it!  Haha!  I assured her it wasn't a big deal and we could just get the photos after the ceremony.

It all turned out alright and here are some of the photos from after the ceremony: This one is from the boardwalk in front of Treasure Island

We headed across the street to the Venetian go get some more photos

Danielle's pink tulip bouquet was so beautiful

It was a beautiful day to get married in Las Vegas!  Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day guys!
