> Las Vegas Engagement Photography

I was recently contacted by Justin about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend Renee!  He said that he wanted to propose to a girl who was impossible to surprise so he had to be really sneaky in order to surprise her.  We've been emailing back and forth for a few weeks talking about locations, a time to meet, and even sending each other photos so we would recognize each other!  So here's how it went:

Justin and Renee would be in the Wynn Atrium to check it out before heading out for a dinner reservation from a bogus Groupon that Justin had made (and even printed out)!  I would act as one of those annoying photographers that are everywhere in Vegas trying to take your photo.  I went up to them asking if they'd like their photo taken, we'd take a few photos and then I asked them to do a 'cute' pose.  That's when Justin gets down on one knee and proposes!  We took just a few photos after that, but here are the highlights!

Emma Claire is the daughter of my friends, Frank and Andria, who used to live in my neighborhood in Henderson!  Soon after Emma was born, they moved back to Tennessee to be closer to family but just visited the neighborhood for the first time since moving.  It was so great to see them and to see how much Emma has grown!  It was a breath of fresh air to have a baby around.  So tiring though!  This little girl can run and run and run!  Here are some of my favorites from our time at the park.

Megan is one of my best friends from High School in Wisconsin.  She now lives just outside of Chicago with her beautiful little 3 and 1/2 year old daughter Mackenzie. I photographed Mackenzie last year when I was home for Thanksgiving and it's amazing what a difference less than a year can make!  Last year Mackenzie was a little shy and this year she came running up to me to say hi and was posing like crazy for me:)

I was just in Wisconsin to be in a friends wedding and while I was there, we decided to take some more photos of Mackenzie.  This year we went to Waldvogel's Pumpkin Farm.  It's a local farm that has a lot of attractions for kids in the Fall like a corn maze, mini petting zoo, a haunted grainery,  a pumpkin patch, hay rides, train rides, and much much more!  It's really a fun place to go, even for adults in my opinion.  Especially because of the delicious caramel apples!  Megan used to work there when we were in High School so it really was a perfect spot for our photos.  Mackenzie's grandparents joined us too for the afternoon.  Here are some of my favorites from our afternoon at Waldvogel's Farm!  Thanks for reading!
