Johnnie is a pilot in the U.S. Air Force. For the past two years he has traveled across the globe to fly in air shows for millions of spectators. And the love of his life, Angela, has been right there with him. So it’s safe to say: Flying has played a huge role in their lives together.
After some brainstorming, we came up with the idea of doing an Amelia Earhart-esque style vintage aviation shoot in the middle of the Nevada desert.
The plane in the first image is a P-51 Mustang – one of Johnnie’s favorite vintage airplanes and one that he had the opportunity to fly alongside during many of his air shows.
I grew to love Johnnie and Angela when photographing their wedding way back in December of 2008 so I was stoked when Johnnie wrote to tell me they were returning to Vegas and he wanted to suprise Angela with a trash the dress to celebrate their 2-year wedding anniversary. It was awesome being able to both catch up on everything and capture them again at this new stage in their lives. They are bidding adieu to air shows and are starting their next adventure together in South Korea (where Johnnie’s now stationed for work). Angela even keeps an awesome photo-blog where they document all their travel and adventures.
Couldn’t resist doing my happier take on the iconic cinematography of Robert Burks in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic “North by Northwest” (1959).

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 amMichelle - Chrissy you guys look amazing. Perfect photography

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!

Kristen and Marlon came out from New York City for an intimate Las Vegas wedding with close family. We got together the next day for a day-after trash the dress session downtown.
These two are easy going and up-for-anything, which made hanging out and exploring the streets with them a total blast. And I think the photos we captured really show their chemistry and love for each other.
I love their retro style! Kristen was rockin’ a beautiful feather headpiece and Marlon a vintage skinny tie.
They were also sporting some awesome converse shoes!
K & M: You two are so perfect together. Congrats again on tying the knot!!

July 13, 2010 - 5:11 pmJason - Great shots Chelsea. Were the shots of the square turquoise things in a building across from the parking garage. I think I have seen that spot from the other side. I love them though...especially the tinting!
As you probably already know, I have a very big crush on a certain ultra stylish wedding website (Style Me Pretty). Abby, Elaine and all the girls at SMP are my kind of people – also obsessed with details and pretty things. So I was absolutely delighted to be a part of their new feature called the “Inspiration to Reality Challenge.” I love the whole concept and how it works! Each region puts together a team of fantastic wedding vendors, then they choose an inspiration board designed by one of SMP’s readers and put their creative juices together to bring it all to life.
I’m beyond excited to share some photos from the Inspiration to Reality shoot that our Las Vegas team put together – and that it’s a 4-part feature on the front page of Style Me Pretty this weekend!
Our shoot took place at one of my FAVORITE ceremony and reception locations here Vegas, the gorgeous Springs Preserve! I loved how the blues popped against the warm desert backdrop. And our model bride, Gabi looked stunning with hair & makeup all done up by Allyson, Lauren & Monet at Las Vegas Style Sirens.
I first saw this dress on Gabi a couple weeks before the shoot. A bunch of us girls were hanging out in the bridal salon while Dawn was trying different dresses on Gabi. It was too funny because it was almost as if we were her bridesmaids. When she came out with this gown on there was one big synchronized “Oohh!” It was definitely THE ONE.
The ensemble was topped off by Stella & Dot Jewelry from stylist Carrie Hogan and a fantastic blue veil from MUMO hair accessories.
Jesus (our groom – who also happens to be the Catering Manager at Springs Preserve) was looking pretty darn sharp as well.
Details, details, details – I was definitely lovin’ all the eye candy! From the amazing feather bouquet by Emplume, the totally unique cakelets by Kristen at Gimme Some Sugar (SO love this idea to have multiple smaller cakes rather than one main one, or in addition to the main one), signature drink by Dress the Drink, peacock chair decor by Wildflower Linens, beautiful centerpiece by Randi at Naakiti Floral, the invitations that arrive in a vintage steamer trunk by Tifany at Gourmet Invitations, and so much more!
Be sure to hit up Style Me Pretty to see a ton more images in the 4-part feature! Here’s the links:
October 19, 2010 - 4:30 pmSidd Rishi - Stunning photos :) Love it!!
April 29, 2010 - 7:08 pmShannon Stuno - Love the lighting, colors & everything! Gorgeous!

March 20, 2010 - 10:44 amEmily - OH. MY. WORD. These are PERFECT!!!! I'm am just spinning - I love these so much and the video is absolutely amazing! All around great job!
March 19, 2010 - 3:14 pmSuzi Lighten - I've been meaning to comment. Wow, you two! Wow! You and Jayse are a not only adorable together as a couple but a great match for working behind your lenses together. That video rocked!
March 19, 2010 - 10:07 amSusan - These are all perfectly stunning, Chelsea, but that second image took my breath away! The color is amazing.
March 12, 2010 - 7:28 amCherie Hogan - Hi Chelsea! It's Cherie from WPPI. Ive been trying to figure out why the picture of the bride with the blue sky behind her is so stunning and I think I figured it out, the color of the sky matches the blue hair piece she's wearing! Did you do that on purpose? I might have to try that!
Anyways, love your work! So glad I got to meet you! Hopefully I'll see you at a PUG meeting! Remember to email me if you need assistance at your next wedding!
March 5, 2010 - 11:55 pmWendhy - LOVE it! AMAZING photos & video!
March 5, 2010 - 2:49 pmDennise - The beauty you all were able to capture is just unbelievable... Chelsea, your images are out of this world! If someone needs ideas for a wedding, here they are! And Jayse, you just bring such life through your videos!! Awesome you two!
March 1, 2010 - 12:11 amJuliet Douglas - So beautiful! And I finally got the chance to view the video and it's amazing!! Good job Chelsea, Jayse, Tracey, and the entire team!
February 28, 2010 - 5:32 pmTracey Kumer-Moore - Just an unbelievable, inspiring day from the board to everyone involved and perfectly captured by the fab Chelsea & Jayse!
I had a blast working with everyone and the two of you from the spark of brilliance in my office when we found "OUR Inspiration" to the shoot day and beyond!
Can't wait to do this again. You two ROCK! Let's go celebrate some awesome work.

November 24, 2009 - 7:34 pmJuliet Douglas - Chelsea, I am so proud to have my name next to yours! I'm happy Amber & Bill brought us together for their special day.
November 24, 2009 - 7:08 pmDennise - It is amazing how so many sites are recognizing your wonderful talent of taking beautiful pictures! Congrats! =o)
November 24, 2009 - 2:21 pmAmber - So exciting! Congrats to us both ;)
I’m so excited to share Amber and Bill’s vintage inspired wedding, full of the romance and elegance of the 50′s. Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Red Rock Casino and was coordinated by the fabulous Juliet of Green Orchid Events.
Here’s a bit more behind their special day in Amber’s words:
Our wedding day is inspired by the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a time when Mr. and Mrs. America came to Hollywood’s playground and rubbed elbows at the roulette table next to Marilyn Monroe, Ann Margret, and a young Senator named Kennedy. Showrooms up and down the strip booked headliners like Frank and the boys, Liberace, Don Rickles, and Wayne Newton. It was a time when a man could get a shrimp cocktail or a juicy prime rib for a buck or two.
We love this special and more innocent era when space age optimists looked towards the sky to see the future, Lincoln Continentals cruised the Strip at 7 MPG, men were men, and it was ok for a fella to go crazy in the head over some broad. Bill would never dare call Amber a “broad,” but he loves her with the same spirit.
For a bit of extra special Vegas-style entertainment, Amber and Bill had showgirls greet their guests as they entered into the reception as well as a fantastic surprise Frank Sinatra impersonator! These gorgeous centerpieces were done by the very talented Teresa at Enchanted Florist. In addition to the beautiful floral, each table had a different framed image that paid tribute to the casinos of Vegas past.
Also, how adorable are these little root beer float shooters that were served with the cake?!

November 17, 2009 - 6:35 amAmber - Once again, gorgeous! Can't wait to see more!! xoxo
Amber and Bill came out to Vegas this month for their fabulous wedding at Guardian Angel Cathedral and Rock Rock Resort. And a few days prior to the wedding, we got together for a fun engagement photo shoot down the strip!
The look was inspired after Amber and Bill’s favorite TV Show, Mad Men, and their 50′s vintage wedding theme. We had a blast playing it up! And it wouldn’t have been complete without Penny, a lovely 1955 Pontiac Starchief convertible.
Due to some engine problems, poor Penny never made it out of the parking lot. So instead we took Celeste, a beautiful 1953 corvette relpica, out for a night on the town!
February 12, 2011 - 7:03 pmmiami photographer - I love them! Were you on the back of a truck when you took the last photo?

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 vintagedress 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?!
September 12, 2009 - 9:56 amJeff - Love the last set alongside the front of the casino - beautifully lit :)

Remember Sara and Trevor from their Retro-Style Engagement Session? We’ll they are back and married! It was such an amazing night, and I’m so happy I was able to be a part of it.
Now, some photos! Lets start things off with Trev chillin’ with his guys…
Then our newlyweds – Sara and Trevor looked incredible together!
And I totally loved their fun group of friends. This crowd definitely knows how to paartay! The dance floor was filled all night long.
Sara and Trevor – love ya guys! Best of luck with the move to San Diego! We’re going to miss you lots. Jayse and I will definitely have to come visit out there sometime, and don’t hesitate to call if you’re ever back in town!

June 18, 2009 - 3:23 pmRobert J. Trenske - I really love these shots. The lighting and composition is really something great. I also really dig that first shot, nice job!
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!

Like how they started the "vintage" out in style with wardrobe selection too.
LOVE IT!
Couldn’t resist doing my happier take on the iconic cinematography of Robert Burks in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic “North by Northwest” (1959).
