Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! I know I did! I enjoyed my day coloring eggs with Jayse in the morning, hanging out the fam, stuffing my face silly with my grandma’s delicious grapeleaves (the juicy ones from the bottom of the pot, mmm) and ending my night cuddled up with Jayse and Bella to watch another episode of our newest TV show, Kyle XY.
On top of all that, I’m loving springtime! With it comes perfect weather and wedding season, which is now in full swing! I have much to share, but for starters here’s a sneak peak from Kelly & Orr’s engagement session! They came out from Toronto the week of the wedding and I had a blast strolling around downtown and getting to know them better. They are such cool people and have amazing chemistry. Can you believe they’ve been together 15 years? Love it!
I LOVED Kelly’s metallic silver and gold dress – such a perfect night-out-in-the-city dress. And Orr was looking rather GQ too.
Then there was the shoes…

You may recognize this super-cool couple from a trash-the-dress we did at the Neon Museum last summer…
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…
Summer & Josh: Love ya guys! Major major congrats! I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to meet little Caitlin.

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!
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?!
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!
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!
Thanks for rockin’ out this shoot with me Jackie!
Let me introduce you to Erin and Jon. Their love for games and bets (they even named their dog JackPot) naturally led them to Las Vegas to seal the deal! Here are some photos I captured from their beautiful December wedding at The Platinum Hotel. Only Erin an Jon’s close friends will get this but if their day could be summed up in one word it would be: AWESOME! 
Loved Erin’s hair and makeup by Makeup in the 702. The side-swept ponytail looked so romantic!
Of course, I can’t end the post without to giving a shout to Erin and Jon’s super stylish wedding party – such an awesome group of people!
