Kayla and Chris are an amazing couple!  So in love and madly drawn together.  If there was any doubt about two people being soulmates, this answers your question.  Their perfect Wedding day took place at the beautiful M Resort Hotel & Spa poolside and followed with the reception inside Lux Wedding Ballroom.  With an amazing view of the Las Vegas valley with floor to ceiling windows, and a great balcony to gaze out upon.

The Wedding day began with the girls in an amazing suite where Your Beauty Call brushed some outstanding makeup on Kayla and the girls.  With some fun laughs right through the process of putting on the beautiful Wedding Gown she had picked for this special day.  As the guests took their seat and prepared for the ceremony Chris escorted his Mother down the dramatic and beautiful walk way down the pool.  Decorated by Floral Couture by Floral 2000, the Ceremony and Reception was elegantly designed.  Afterwords the celebration was moved to the top of the M Resort to the beautiful Lux Ballroom where guests were greeted with a fun photobooth and an open bar to start this Wedding Reception out right!

Have a look at their Engagement Session in Ely, NV.  Talk about a great experience and beautiful location for these two.

Kayla wanted to do a first look with her Father (Pops) and I was all about it.  I am a big fan of doing the first look with the Bride and Groom anytime, but after this moment was captured I feel in love with this special moment.  When a Father looks at his beautiful Daughter before she walks down the aisle can be one of the most special private moments.  I am honored to photograph and be there for such an intimate time in a loving families life.  Truly a wonderful moment was shared.
Every once in a while I capture an embrace between Father and Daughter, Mother and Son but this time I felt that precious moment between the beautiful Bride and her Mother.  It was an emotional day full of happy tears, and carried through the night.  A loving moment between a Mother and her little girl.

All the way from New York City, Roxanne and Keith brought all their loved ones to Las Vegas at the JW Marriott for their wedding day.  The JW Marriott was perfect for their celebration and as their wedding photographer I was so happy to see this large group of amazing people dance the night away.  But it all started in Roxanne’s suite where the girls of Your Beauty Call started with some makeup and hair to get this Bride ready for her day.  As Julie Reed Events set up the ceremony and reception ball room with elegant floral and linens, All the bridal party was putting the finishing touches on.  As I got to know the families I saw how well they all got along and shared the same excitement for this union.  I always love when I can see the true happiness on both sides for these two special people.  I hope you enjoy a few moments throughout their wedding story as it was my pleasure to be a part of their wedding day and photograph some memorable moments.

One of my favorite moments from the wedding happened after the ceremony.  As Roxanne and Keith walked down the aisle together both of their Fathers came together for a emotional and happy embrace.  It was so unexpected and a great feeling to see how two different families can be so happy for these two lovebirds.

Be sure to check out their fun Engagement Photography Session we had in downtown Las Vegas.

When I first meet a potential client for a wedding or family photo session one of the first things I try to bring up is that I love to be that photographer who captures moments in your life as you grow and your family grows.  From a wedding day can soon turn into expecting your first child or adding on to your growing family.  So when I hear of my brides expecting after their wedding day and get to capture important moments like maternity sessions and newborn sessions it always makes me happy.  Alicia and Jan are one of those couples for sure!  I got a chance back in 2010 to photograph their Wedding Day and had such a blast with their family and friends.  About a year and half later I found out they were expecting their first child, a baby boy!  So we set out to the Dry Lake Bed for her Maternity Photography Session.  I think every woman who brings a child into this world has that glow and sense of passion for their unborn child in their eyes and I must say Alicia had this to a T.  I knew that they would be amazing loving parents and I couldn’t wait to meet their little bundle of joy.  Without further wait say hi to Aiden and his Mom and Dad.

Tasha and Tyler have to be the cuddliest cute couple out there.  Although they are not engaged…. yet I can’t wait for they day that comes because I had such a blast with them this sunny Portland afternoon while we navigated through a gorgeous downtown Portland park for some beautiful portraits.  Tasha the petite and bubbly girl had a few fun outfits that she rocked while Tyler looking very fit and comfortable in front of the camera made my job this day too easy.  After a day together shooting a wedding inspired shoot I took them out for a couples photography session and was blown away by the end result.  As we talked and got to know each other I learned more and more about them and future plans.  I hope to catch up with them soon and would love to get them in front of my camera soon.  For now enjoy our time together on this lovely day.

What I love about these stairs is that as many time Tasha and Tyler have been to this park they had never noticed this amazing staircase before.  This is why I tell my couples during our photography sessions that I like to look in not so obvious locations and many times theres a little walk ahead of us but it pays off in the end.  I swear this staircase although huge was hidden if you happened to glance over and not notice it between the big bushes surrounding it.  

Where is your favorite park or nature setting that you would love to have an engagement photography session or portraits taken?

Are you in love?  Married, engaged or just have that special someone.  Well I am here to say that is all the best reasons to have a moment in your life captured then.  Misty and Greg are happily married and have been for several years.  Their love is unconditional and gets stronger every day.  Misty is a successful wedding planner of Luxe Event Productions in Portland Oregon and Greg is a successful entrepreneur himself and partner of Luxe Events.  These two are a power couple and have made great friends in their community while hosting bridal shows like Committed, Marry Me and the Luxe Bridal Event.  Needless to say these two are awesome and want to share their talents and passion with the world.  So it was my pleasure to photograph these lovely two on the Willamette River near downtown Portland for a couples session.  Summers are beautiful in Portland and we soaked up every minute of it before grabbing a delicious dinner together.  I will be photographing the Luxe ladies this month and look forward to showing you this gorgeous group of wedding design and planners soon.  For now meet the Damico’s a fun life loving and giving couple who I am very happy to know and have built a friendship for life with.

Everyone loves a little Zoolander Blue Steel pose.  Misty sure got a kick out of Greg’s impersonation LOL.

Would you like to have your engagement photography session on the river or ocean?

So crazy to think this little dude is 13 months old.  Oh and yeah his belated 1 year post will be up soon lol I have been slacking on posts for this crazy kid but I had to get this up right away!!  If you want to talk about a little baby who loves his bath time then Sammy is him.  With all his toys and ducks he just can’t sit still.  I look back and think about the days when I would take bubble baths and destroy the bathroom with puddles, as well as army men and toy cars all over the place.  Oh the imagination we had as children.  Now I step back and think what can this little guy be imagining and thinking of when he is splashing and playing with his bubbles.  Then of course as parents we get to do crazy and wild things to their hair and cover them in suds before we rinse them off.  Which they always love ha ha.  Well one thing is for sure Sammy loves his bath time and would stay in till he is all wrinkly if he could.  I love this kid so much and am just in shock how fast he has grown and the personality he has developed.  Stay tune for more from this little booger.

One thing I love about photographing weddings besides the love story and emotion behind the couples day.  Is the fashion that a wedding can bring!  Every guest dressing up and looking good for their family and friends big day.  The ladies looking dashing and the gentleman sharp as can be.  So with the new era in amazing bridal gowns I have seen some dress that just amaze me and I can’t wait for the day when a bride in a wedding I photograph uses such a dress.  I have had my eye on some amazing Vera Wang Wedding Dresses from Couture Bride here in Las Vegas for a little while and wanted to organize a shoot to show the elegance of an alternative wedding dress.  Lavey a Las Vegas well know makeup artist and owner of Your Beauty Call wanted to be a part of not only the makeup but model one of these bridal gowns and I was happy to put her in the fabulous charcoal Vera Wang gown next to her Husband in an amazing John Varvatos black suit.  Naakiti Floral, one of Las Vegas’s well known and amazing wedding florists designed a few bridal bouquets for this shoot which were elegant and cutting edge for these dresses.  Special thanks to Hyde inside Bellagio Hotel for allowing us to shoot and use this wonderful nightclub as we pleased.  Here is part one of this fun shoot, hope you enjoy!

Ok before I get started the first thing you will notice beside this gorgeous and happy couple is that Ken the groom resembles someone big time LOL.  If there are any Office fans you know who I am talking about and Ken gets it all the time.  Yes Jim Halpert ha ha, I was cracking up when we first met and I kid you not same facial expressions and all.  Anyway lets not avoid his beautiful and stunning bride to be Diana whom with her lovable laugh and up front personality clicked with me when we met at the Canyon Gate Country Club‘s open house. With the talk of her big Romanian wedding day which would be full of dancing and crazy antics I knew this would be a wedding I would be proud to photograph.

Once I was chosen to be their wedding photographer we then had to choose a location and feel for their engagement photography session.  Now Las Vegas has some areas that many love to go and shoot at and can be seen quite a bit.  One of those places is Lake Las Vegas known for the village and waterfall areas.  Well I like to shoot there from time to time as well and for this session I wanted to go to the not so popular spots and dig to find my own areas.  After a nice walk shared by several stories and laughs we came to a couple areas I love and began our engagement session.  Diana’ beautiful white summer dress and Ken’s summer outfit fit with his white linen shirt and blue shorts were perfect for this little get away from the city session.  Hope you enjoy a few from this beautiful day together.

I would love to hear what you think about this lovely session!
