Stephanie & Damian from Germany - Wedding, Las Vegas Style

















So, the plan was to meet this sweet couple from Germany at the Commissioner of Civil Marriages located at 309 S. 3rd St. in downtown Las Vegas, NV. I'm waiting for a guy in a tux and a girl in a white dress. Around the corner comes this couple in a totally cute designer, black & white dress with a plash of lime green and my guy in a jeans and a plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a great hat! How cool is that?! Yeah, I just knew they were going to be a lot of fun to shoot.






Anyway, did the short & sweet civil service. (I got to be their witness) :) We then headed to the Bellagio, my all-time favorite casino/resort to wedding couple shoot at. Did a bunch of shots all over there and then headed to my favorite "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. It was a blast! As you can tell from the pictures! You can also tell how much they love each other and really are truly happy together. It's always nice to see. :)
Had to share their pictures! We plan to visit Germany in 2010 and they offered to be our tour guides for Old Germany, so we can't wait. Have the passports ready to go. (Well, actually, still need to get them for the kids.)
Congrats! Stephanie & Damian! Glad we met! You both are amazing people! Can't wait to see you again in a couple of years!

Nick & Julie Wedding - Austin Powers Married Them!














Finally had a chance to upload Nick & Julie's wedding to my blog. I'm voting this event as my most fun wedding of the year! First of all, they told friends and family (yes, even their parents) that they were having a house warming/engagement/costume party. They had just signed for their house days before the party. My couple came dressed as a hoola girl and a pirate. they then changed into a black tux and black dress to throw off the guests. Then at last minute, we rushed upstairs and got the bride changed into her wedding gown. Only the maid of honor, me and the videographer knew what was about to happen. So, who else could they hire to marry them, but Austin Powers, Baby!! OMG, he was awesome! No one suspected since it was a costume party anyway. You can imagine how surprised the best man was when they told him he was going to "be the best man"! It was priceless! Even during the ceremony people were thinking it was all fake! If anyone wants a really fun wedding in Las Vegas, I would definitely hire Austin Powers (I guess he does Elvis too) Anyway, everyone did the conga around the pool after the ceremony. Lead by Austin Powers to the Austin Powers theme, of course. It was great! The all black & white house didn't have any furniture yet, which made it perfect for a wedding party.

All and all, MOST FUN backyard WEDDING in Las Vegas I have had the pleasure of being the wedding photographer for. So glad I got to be a part of it all!
Thanks guys..and congrats!!
