Simply put, this engagement session makes me happy. Kayla and Sean couldn’t be more perfect for each other and it was such a thrill to be able to capture that special something they share. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding (only 18 days to go)!

Just had to share this cute teaser from Kayla & Sean’s steamy engagement session. Their puppy Tiffany had us cracking up. 
Check back later today for lots more of these two lovebirds!
August 15, 2011 - 3:31 pm - Love, love, LOVE the second shot...look at those little ears!
August 15, 2011 - 9:34 am - How adorable! I love this!
When I first met up with Leanne and Danny to chat about plans for everything, we instantly hit off. It helps that they’re the type of couple that anyone would love to be around! They love hosting parties at their place (especially football parties), traveling and trying new things. Also, I could totally relate to the fact that Leanne and Danny are dog lovers who treat their pets like part of the family. Leanne has two adorable, impossible-not-to-spoil-rotten yorkies and Danny has a sweet chocolate lab named Hershey. I’m so happy they brought them out to play for a few photos! Big thanks goes to their friends who came out to puppysit in-between.
If you couldn’t tell from the pictures, Leanne and Danny are both sports fanatics! It’s even how they first met. Leanne was first introduced to Danny at a pizza party for the soccer team she co-coached. They truly are the perfect match – even if they do root for opposing teams! Here they’re sporting their fabulous football jerseys:
Danny has a beautiful vintage 1973 Chevy Pick-up truck that he has lovingly restored. I was super stoked when they agreed to take it out to the desert to play for some photos! 
To top things off, they also brought out a bunch of vintage luggage that had stickers of all the places they’ve traveled together.
Stay tuned for a fusion-video from Leanne & Danny’s engagement session that’s going to premiere at their wedding this fall at the Four Seasons Las Vegas (and being coordinated by the fab Brit Bertino of Simply Weddings). I’m collaborating on the fusion piece with one of my good friends and talented wedding cinematographer Terrence Lighten of Lighten Films!

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…

When Uri & Loren first moved out to Vegas, a hike through Mt. Charleston was one of their first adventures as a couple. So, for our engagement session we decided to hit up that very same beautiful mountain – this time covered in fresh snow! I’d been just itching to do a shoot in the snow and these two were up for anything – so it was a date! It’s quite easy to love their fun-loving personalities and that they weren’t afraid to be silly in front of a camera. My camera, to be precise! So without further ado – I present Uri and Loren:
Big shout-out goes to Francesca of Bobby Pin Beauty for doing such a fab job on Uri’s hair and makeup!
When it comes down to snowball fights, Uri’s the type of girl I’d want on my team!
Betwixt the fun and the fights, the views had that special ability to sweep in and steal your breath away for a while.
After a day full of hanging out and playing in the snow, we headed to the cozy Mount Charleston Resort for some warmth, a bite to eat and, of course, hot cocoa! And as we were walking out, we noticed it was snowing. HARD. We weren’t planning on doing more photos, but hey – how can a Vegas girl resist photographing in the SNOW? And Uri & Loren weren’t hard to convince – immediately taking to the moment and dancing in the snow. We couldn’t help but go for one more round before retreating to the warmth of our cars and driving back down the mountain. I’m so happy we did since they were some of my favorites.
I can’t wait for Uri & Loren’s wedding this fall at one of my favorite venues here in Vegas, the gorgeous Springs Preserve. Be sure to check back for lots more from these two lovebirds!
U + L: It was so awesome hanging with you guys! Thanks for going all out and braving the cold with me. You two rock! I’m even more excited for the wedding now.

I’m excited to share Chrissy & Jason’s engagement and wedding photos on the blog today! First, here’s a few from their engagement session. I was stoked when I found out that Chrissy collects vintage 40, 50 and 60′s attire. The adorable skirt below actually belonged to her great-grandmother. How cool is that?!
And this next hot little number came from the Bettie Page store. I love how playful and flirtatious they are in these!
The wedding day
With the wedding day came even more reasons to love these two. Even though a full day of pouring rain meant moving their outdoor ceremony and reception inside, it didn’t dampen their spirits in the least! The entire day was so full of positive energy and an overwhelming amount of love.
And to top things off, not only did they not sweat the rain, but they totally embraced it! Chrissy & Jason’s up-for-anything attitudes meant they were down for a bit of fun in the rain.
February 21, 2011 - 4:12 am - Chrissy you guys look amazing. Perfect photography
February 19, 2011 - 12:41 am - These are some really amazing photos. You are so great at what you do:)

February 5, 2011 - 11:04 am - We absolutely love the last shot! You never see couples so happy playing in the rain on their wedding day! Gorgeous!!
February 4, 2011 - 7:11 am - Honestly Chrissy, you and Jason really embody every element of love and it exudes through here in the photos. I know the fan favorite is the last, which IS remarkable, but the one that took my breath away was the very first one. Makes me feel like you and Jason can concur anything. Cheers!
February 4, 2011 - 3:52 am - Ack, Chelsea, you are SO awesome! Those e-pictures are PHENOMENAL, and then the wedding, with the last one in the rain...yum.
