Summer and Josh + 1

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Posted in Portraits

You may recognize this super-cool couple from a trash-the-dress we did at the Neon Museum last summer…

Summer and Josh | Trash the Dress

Well, Summer and Josh came back out to Vegas for their one-year anniversary photos – with a twist: they’re expecting! Summer’s about six months pregnant with a baby girl! Caitlin Noel is scheduled to be born on Christmas day. :-)

We had a blast hanging out and catching up as we strolled downtown…

Marjolein + Wim’s Wedding

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 Posted in Weddings

Meet Marjolein and Wim: a super cool, down-to-earth couple who came out from Belgium for a intimate wedding with just the two of them. When Marjolein first wrote, I could automatically tell we were going to be the perfect match. Not only are they a great couple, they are also artists who run their own tattoo shop in Willebroek called Duck Art Tattoo. I love working with other creative types. We just ‘click’ and it’s always sure to be a blast! :)

We started our day at The Palazzo for getting ready images and photos around the casino. Marjolein and Wim had bought their wedding shoes at Barney’s New York (his, hers) scoring us a quick photo op in their super-exclusive VIP room:

Then we were off to the world famous Little White Wedding Chapel! Marjolein mentioned they wanted an old-school style wedding, so this cute little chapel ended up being the perfect choice.

12 years leading up to this one moment…

And after the ceremony, we went out for a night on the town!

Retro Vegas Bridal: Sally + Pete

Saturday, July 11, 2009 Posted in Trash the Dress

Sally and Pete came out from London for an intimate wedding with just the two of them. It was their first time in the states and they went all out, celebrating their honeymoon in New York, Las Vegas, LA and San Francisco (and of course, getting hitched along the way). While they were in town we met up for a night out and a couple’s bridal with a little vintage flav-ah! Sally rocked out a beautiful 1940’s vintage dress and we hit up downtown old-Vegas.

It didn’t take too long for Sally’s sassy side to come out and play. Aren’t they great together?!

Engaged: Sara and Trevor

Thursday, March 19, 2009 Posted in Engagements

Sara and Trevor will be rockin’ out a classic vintage style on their wedding day, so we decided to hit up downtown Vegas for their engagement photos! Jayse came too and the four of us had a great time causing a little trouble, getting kicked out of parking garages, blocking stairways, strolling the streets, and of course taking lots of photos!

After working up an appetite we all hit up the 50’s-diner ‘Cheeburger Cheeburger’ which was both delicious AND fit the theme! What a fun night!

Be sure to keep a look out for their May 30th wedding photos!

Vintage Vegas TTD!

Friday, February 27, 2009 Posted in Trash the Dress

When the absolutely fantastic Michigan-based wedding photographer Jackie Blair contacted me to help trash her wedding dress in Las Vegas, I was both thrilled and honored. Not only has Jackie created amazing images and shot alongside photo luminaries such as Scarlet and Becker, but she’s also a pretty fine-looking model!

The plan: Up for anything! (my fave)
The Look: unique-vintage-funk – vegas neon night lights
The Location: Old-Schoo Las Vegas baby!
