    Spring Mountain Ranch Engagement Photos {Samantha+Jake}

    June 18, 2015

    There are few places as beautiful in The area around Las Vegas as Spring Mountain Ranch State Park for engagement photos. I was so glad when Samantha and Jake decided to have their engagement photos taken there. I love the look and feel around the area. Such beautiful colors with all of the trees and grass. It really is a world apart from the rest of Las Vegas. Samantha & Jake both work in the News Industry which is how they met. They are such a fun couple and are so genuinely kind. I had a great time with them…

    Smith Center Las Vegas Wedding {Becky+Mitch}

    February 7, 2015

    Few venues in Las Vegas are as unique and beautifully elegant as the Smith Center. I was so excited to photograph Becky and Mitch’s amazing wedding there! Becky and Mitch were such a treat to work with and their family and guests were so much fun. Their day really was a party and was such a beautiful event. Layers of Lovely did all of the floral for the wedding and as always they did such an incredible job! I always love seeing the amazing floral creations that they do.

    Red Rock Country Club Wedding {Erin + Chris}

    March 14, 2014

    The Red Rock Country Club in Las Vegas is one of my favorite Wedding Venues to photograph weddings at! I was so thrilled when Erin and Chris hired me to photograph their wedding there recently. When Pigs Fly Events did an awesome job on all of their decor and planning. The Red Rock Country Club is beautiful. The green of the golf course against the amazing desert and hills is perfection. The ball room at the clubhouse is absolutely beautiful. Its large enough for a big party which is exactly what these two had. Probably the best dancing ever! Its…

    Springs Preserve Las Vegas Wedding {Lauren + Brian}

    February 1, 2014

    Springs Preserve is one of the most beautiful venues in Las Vegas for a Wedding or Event. I love desert botanical garden weddings and am so glad that I was able to photograph this beautiful event. Lauren and Brian are such a fun and wonderful couple. Their wedding party was a blast too. Photographing the Wedding Ceremony under the pergola was beautiful. I love all of the greenery mixed in with the modern architecture at Springs Preserve.

    Vegas Red Rock Country Club Wedding {Allison + Keaton}

    November 11, 2013

    I Recently photographed the beautiful wedding of Allison And Keaton at the Red Rock Country Club in Las Vegas. Photographing weddings at this amazing venue is a treat. I loved photographing Allison and Keaton’s Engagement session earlier this year and getting to know them better. They are both going to school to be dentists and are both originally from the Las Vegas area. It was so awesome to see all of their friends and family celebrate with them at Red Rock Country Club. When Pigs Fly Events did all of the coordination and planning and as always did a fantastic job.…

    Siena Las Vegas Wedding {Rachel + Max}

    November 3, 2013

    Photographing weddings at Siena Golf Club in Las Vegas is always amazing. I started photographing Rachel and Max’s wedding day with them getting ready at the Aria hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. From there they had a limo take them out to beautiful Siena Golf Club. Always lush and green with its many beautiful water features and Italian architecture, photos at Siena are always wonderful. The Ceremony on the large lawn overlooking the hills and golf course and water falls in the background make for the perfect place to tie the knot. Rachel and Max have a lot of…

    Equestrian Wedding Inspiration

    July 15, 2013

    This wonderful Equestrian inspired styled shoot by When Pigs Fly Events was really special. Photographing it in Las Vegas was so fun. The horse was beautiful and I loved the idea of having the table set up inside of the stables. It really had a great feel to it. I loved all of the wonderful equestrian details, not to mention the wonderful styling of the models. There are many Horse Lovers and I hope that I will see a real wedding take this idea sometime soon!

    May 1, 2012

    I was so happy to photograph Laurel and Jordan’s Bridal Photos in Las Vegas. I unfortunately was already booked on their wedding day but was so glad they hired me to do their bridal pictures. They are a beautiful and amazing couple and we had a fantastic time. We did the session at Laurel’s parents house in Summerland. It was amazing. The huge freestanding staircase was stunning. I loved Laurels vintage wedding dress and her hair was a perfect complement. What a fantastic couple to photograph!

    Las Vegas Neon Boneyard (Kelsey & Austin)

    November 5, 2010

    While photographing Kelsey & Austin at the Neon Boneyard and the Venetian in Las Vegas we didn’t have to take a trip over the big blue to get some really old stuff, and that classic feel of Venice. Nope… Las Vegas fit the bill just fine for Kelsey and Austin’s engagement session. Nate of NP Films did a great job with their engagement video as well. What an awesome addition to the day.

    Brittini’s Bridal in Las Vegas

    August 23, 2010

    Not so very often any more, I get a bride who wants to shoot her bridals the old fashioned way… without the groom. With and without Brandon, her soon to be groom, Brittini is stunning. She is half Filipino, and half Portuguese, and has a wonderful exotic look. We had a great time shooting not only her bridals, but hers and Brandon’s engagements a month or so ago. I look forward to their wedding day in just a couple short weeks!

    Spring Mountain Ranch Bridal {Haley + Chase}

    July 30, 2010

    I loved photographing Haley and Chase at Spring Mountain Ranch outside of Las Vegas NV. Truth be told, Im very behind on blogging. Haley and Chase had their bridal session a few months back, and I already shot their awesome backyard country wedding too. Back in the spring Nate Pickett and I shot their engagements, and had such a great time with them. Their bridals were no different. Haley and Chase are fun to be around, and their personalities are infectious. I loved Haley’s vintage lace dress, and Chase’s grey suit.
