Flamingo Garden Chapel Wedding!

2/11/2020

Comments

 
Small wedding at the Flamingo and the couple paid a little extra to have an outside photographer (me!) capture the event. We got a lot in in two hours! I was impressed with the Flamingo Wedding Chapel, lots of cool backgrounds on the property. It's also close proximity to some Strip hotel exteriors that are fun to shoot at.

I adore these shots we got! Congrats to Bailee & Brian!

Fun to start the year off with a Bellagio Fountain proposal! Timing is everything... the huge cannon shot from the fountain went off at the same time as the Big Question. She said yes!

Last Minute Marine Ball Shoot!

11/24/2019

Comments

 
A young family was in town for the annual Marine Ball and since everyone was going to be in their Sunday Best, they figured they’d squeeze a last minute photo shoot on their way to the gala. The shoot happened after the sun went down so this was an opportunity to work with flash and Vegas’ famous ambient light. We got over 100 edited shots out of our time together! Here are a few of my favorites...

Judi and Andi celebrated a birthday with a photo shoot on the strip! I always love shooting at the Venetian, the lighting is different every time and so the textures are forever changing. You can get a lot of options of backgrounds and design elements in one location!

Celebrating at New York, New York

Michele and Harry were in town celebrating their anniversary and wanted to capture some photos on the Strip. Michele wanted an early start so we met up at 7:30 AM at the New York, New York Hotel and Casino. I discovered that I love shooting on the Strip that early!

The rising sun gave us some beautifully diffuse light as the sun rays reflected off surfaces and dramatic shadows as it came in through the trees. The best part is that we pretty much had all access to any backdrop in the area, including the Park walkway to the T-Mobile Arena. Lots of fun little areas and textures to play with in the area. I loved the purple flowers near the California Pizza Kitchen!

You two were awesome models!

Denise and Tommy celebrated their 20th anniversary in Vegas and hired me to shoot a quick, last minute photo shoot on the Strip. We kept moving quick, shooting all along the way. We were able to squeeze about 8-10 different backdrops into a span of about 30 minutes! Thanks for the awesome shoot, you two were fun!

Baby @ Bellagio

7/1/2019

Timing is everything.

This young dad was throwing his kid gently up in the air, right in front of Lake Como at the Bellagio. The kid was looking around everywhere but my camera, as you can imagine. On the third throw, for whatever reason, the baby looked over at me and in that split second I pushed the shutter button: *SNAP*

​Picture perfection!

Whatever came before and whatever comes after doesn’t matter when it comes to the world of photography. The only thing that matters is the present, what is happening right then at that exact moment, that moment when all the ducks are in a row and you snap that perfect pic. That quest for perfection and the perfect picture is why I love photography!

For example, look at the other versions of this picture below... they both work, but they are both missing that magical connection that exists in the other version. That little spark is what makes the other one special.

Taking pictures is like fishing. Many of the fish you catch are fine, they’ll get the job done, but every so often, when everything aligns, you finally catch the big one, the one that didn’t get away.

To me, the picture above is one of those Big Fish.

Who’s ready to go fishing with me?

Strip Views

I took this shot at the top of the escalators on the northwest corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo. The key to the shot is my 14mm wide angle lens that really opens up the photo to include almost 180° Of the view. Of course we took many different versions of this photo but I love the one that shows the full body. The way the groom holds his new wife flatters her figure and connects the both of them.

Who’s ready for the next photo shoot?

Congrats at the Cosmopolitan

Thomas used his last No. 2 ✏️ to fill out his last final on his last day of high school today and it was time to celebrate. The graduate’s mom rented the wrap around suite at the Cosmopolitan. Shots and champagne flowed as the mariachi band serenaded the guests.

The weather in Vegas has been gorgeous lately and unusually cool. Rain swept through the Valley the night before which left behind pillowy clouds. The clouds coupled with the setting sun made for a stunning backdrop for our balcony portraits. Take a look at those views! 🌄

I had the opportunity to shoot Thomas’s grad photos a few weeks back. Thomas’s family and their group of friends have been so welcoming to me and everyone made it so easy for me to do my job! You all are gorgeous, I love these pics! 🕚📸​

Prom!

Prom took over the Las Vegas Valley and the Venetian was at the center of all of it all! Throngs of teens stood shoulder-to-shoulder as photographer after photographer snapped away. Even among all of the hustle and bustle and cummerbunds, Derrick, Lauryn, and I were able to find private areas to shoot some pretty stellar pics. These two young adults are natural models!

I shot at the Venetian a few times in the last year and I am always surprised how different it is each time. A simple set of steps from one senior session two days prior was transformed into something completely different by the shadow of a light post during this shoot.

​This city is so much fun to shoot in!

Grad Shoot!

We got a lot done in a short amount of time!

Photoshoot stats: 1 hour photoshoot, 4 outfit changes, 492 images shot, 215 edited images, and 1 stunning leg kick in front of the Venetian!

Rylee is a dancer so it was important to get a few action shots of her in her dance outfits. We started out about an hour before the sun went down. As each minute passed, the lighting got better and better. We started shooting the dancing action shots around the time the exterior lights of the Venetian snapped on. What an incredible background! The blue light from dusk provided a lovely contrast to the vibrant white dress Rylee was wearing. This is one of my favorite shots!

Congrats on your upcoming graduation, Rylee!​

Shari celebrated her birthday in Vegas and treated herself to a photo shoot with Morgan and Brittany. We got the party started with some sparkling wine, which helped loosen up inhibitions! The posing was on point and we got some awesomely authentic photos!

I love shooting outside at the Venetian because of the variety of backdrops the location provides. In some areas it really looks like you’re shooting in Europe!

Rooftop 50th at the Rio!

Rooftop party. Rio. Big Kahuna Suite.

This is place was cool to shoot at... The Big Kahuna Suite at the Rio is 3000 square feet fully-stocked rooftop suite with a killer view to match its floor-to-ceiling windows.

Scott put together this shindig for his husband Joseph to celebrate his 50th birthday and they went all out: catered meal, DJ, dance floor, open bar, and the Vegas Valley for the backdrop.

I got got some good candid shots of the guests and really tried to tell the story of the night through my images. The guests were so inviting here and had no problem vamping for the camera! The people at the party coupled with the bokeh my 85mm portrait lens creates with those twinkling Vegas lights in the distance make for a perfect combo.

Happy birthday, Joseph!

Monkey Shoot!

My client Scott wanted to surprise his husband with an experience as part of his 50th birthday in Las Vegas. Joseph loves monkeys but had never met one so Scott arranged a party bus for 30 friends to do just that. Scott found an animal wrangler with a capuchin monkey for hire and we all met at a local park.

I’ve never been this close to a monkey before and it provided a truly unique photo opportunity for all of us. I love that close up of the capuchin on his shoulder, such a cute expression on his face. We headed back to Caesars and that’s when the party really started...

​Cool photo shoot!

The Strip in January

Had a blast with a really fun newlywed couple exploring the Vegas Strip at night. The Bellagio fountains and our city of lights provided an electric background for our shoot. I love bringing my 14mm wide angle lense for the shot from the top of the escalators outside of Caesars Palace. The lense came in handy at the Bellagio valet area, too! Who’s ready for the next strip shoot? Text me at (702) 767-9248 to get started!

Celebrating on the Strip

Andre and Mary are from Philadelphia and traveled out to Vegas for their wedding. We shot a few snaps at Circus Curcus and I fell in love with the hotel’s outdoor lighting! The marquee and its lights are vintage Vegas. We followed it up the next day with a shoot around Bellagio and Caesars. Very fun shoot, I loved getting to know the couple and trying to translate their relationship into still images. Congrats on the wedding!
