Casey & Chris: Married at the Platinum Hotel Las Vegas

Mar 16, 2015 | Posted by: Megan Stay

I have to say it is so so rare to have a couple become true friends. When I met Casey and Chris in 2013 I was flabbergasted with how quickly they said “yes” to having me as their photographer. Chris is a cinematographer so I knew I had my work cut out for me. He flipped through two spreads of an album and closed it and said, “your hired. what can I get you to drink?” Casey and I smiled and that was that!

What followed in the year leading up to their wedding was a friendship with Casey and Chris. Casey is a life coach so her positivity and motivation to pursue your best life are always present. What was so amazing about that year leading up to the wedding was her daily sharing of love and gratitude on Facebook. Each day I looked forward to her sharing a special person or thing that meant something to her. I learned so much about her from those posts and really came to know her.

When it came time for the actual wedding day I felt like I was photographing a friend, and that’s how I like it! One of the most special moments of the wedding (besides the amazing first kiss with their daughter looking on with baited breath) was the moment that Casey toasted me. It meant so very much to me. I was definitely weeping behind my camera. I’m so grateful for my job because without it I wouldn’t have so many friends all over the world. Here’s to celebrating love all year long!
