Las Vegas Photographer | Nichole's Bachelorette Party | Las Vegas Strip Photos

Happy Monday Everyone! This blog is about photographing my first Bachelorette Party!  Bachelorette Parties aren't normally something that I do, but one of my High School friends had purchased a Groupon from me to photograph her one year old son and when those plans fell though, we decided to use the Groupon session for her Stepsister/my good High School & College friend, Nichole's Bachelorette Party in Las Vegas!  (Did you follow all that?  haha!)   Nichole and her bridesmaids (Sara, Kelly, & Keri), maid of honor (sister Jenna) and her Mom (Anne) invited me along to dinner and drinks after to get some photos of their shenanigans one night.  We mostly hung out at the Cosmopolitan in the Chandelier Bar, but hit up a few other spots too!  Here are some of my favorite photos from this super fun night!

The night started out with Anne, the Mother of the Bride getting carded! (notice her shirt is clearly labelled)   Anne was so shocked she jokingly said, "you better get a picture of this!".  And I did :)

Here is the beautiful and so-much-fun, bride to be, Nichole!

The whole group cheers-ing with their delicious martini's from the Chandelier Bar!

Speaking of the Chandelier Bar and Martinis....

The whole group again at a different bar at the Cosmopolitan!

The back of all their custom-made tank tops had Nichole's soon-to-be last name and their wedding date!

The whole group again, minus Anne since she was on crutches and stairs didn't really agree with her :(

The age old debate... I know it's ongoing in my house!

Ok, how cute are these undies?!?!  We somehow convinced her to show them off... in the middle of the casino!!  hahaha!

Here is one of the last photos we took that night, and possibly one of the cutest so I will say farewell with it!

It was a lot of fun girls!  Thanks for inviting me along :)

Here is the link to their entire album!  Check it out!

Las Vegas Wedding Photographer | Mallory & Nick | Reception

Mallory and Nick got married on Coronado Beach in California about 2 weeks ago!  One week later their parents threw them a reception here in Vegas where everyone lives.  The reception was at Bahama Breeze, a Caribbean restaurant near the Las Vegas strip.  It's a really cool place complete with palm trees, tropical plants, and even a babbling brook with a bridge indoors!  Here are some of my favorite photos from their reception! There was this amazing bright green bench out front that became a popular spot for photos with their guests!

It was a really beautiful day and the restaurant had amazing tropical landscaping.

Mallory had some awesome hair.

First dance :)

Totally awesome rings!  I love that Nick's is black.  I've never seen that before!

They had an amazing beach-themed cake!

Everyone at the party!

Nick's grandparents just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary!  They were so cute, and I love this photo of them :)

Congratulations Mallory, Nick, and Kaden(their one year old son)!  I had a lot of fun photographing this reception.  Such great people all around!

Las Vegas Photography | Wendy & Brandon | Fremont Street

Hey Everyone! Wendy and Brandon are a married couple from Alaska who live in Vegas now.  Their story is very similar to me and Eric's where they met in High School and then met again later in life and got married!  In High School, they both worked together and then years later, fate brought them back together and they fell so hard for each other that they married in Vegas at a wedding chapel!  Since they were married at a chapel, they never really had any good wedding photos so they hired me to get some shots of them together.

We decided to meet on Fremont Street, aka: Old Downtown Vegas.  I had never had a session there before or even BEEN there before so a couple days prior to our scheduled shoot, Eric and I headed downtown to scope the area and to have a few cocktails :)

Old Downtown was surprisingly a ton of fun!  I had always heard bad things about it so I was really surprised.  I love all the character and old neon signs!  So needless to say, it resulted in some really amazing photos, some of my all-time favorites so far!  Here are some of my favorites from their session:

This one was taken in an area with some old train cars lined up.  It was an awesome location with amazing light!

These old casinos had so much character!  This is in front of the Main Street Station Casino where we discovered margaritas for $1!  Wendy and I only had a couple, I promise ;)

These two are so cute together!  Wendy constantly had a smile on her face.

So many cool neon signs on Fremont!  I love it.

Just so happy together!

I'll end this post with a shot of Wendy's awesome ring.

Even though Wendy and Brandon live in Vegas, Brandon still works in Alaska!  He goes there and works in a gold mine as an electrician for a few weeks, then comes home to Vegas for a couple weeks and then goes back again!  We discovered that we're pretty much neighbors, so next time Brandon is working, you should call me Wendy!  We'll hang out :)
