Liz & Asif: Married Pop Up Chapel Cosmopolitan Wedding
Sometimes you just have an off morning. When I rolled into Liz’s suite at the Bellagio I was met with the most vivacious and infections smile I have ever beheld. Mood officially changed! Liz, Asif, and their friends and family were like a party and a half the entire time I was with them. One of my favorite moments from the day was the first look. Liz could not contain herself from seeing Asif for the first time! It was absolutely adorable! She pretty much leapt to him and planted a big ol’ kiss on him before he could even get a look at her. It was adorable and hilarious and so much of their love for each other.
The excitement carried through the rest of the festivities. The ceremony was sweet and let me tell you, the light at the Pop Up Chapel at Cosmopolitan is perfection! Can’t get much more gorgeous than floor to ceiling windows. I’m so so grateful I was a part of the first day of their married lives! I know that happiness and joy will abound for these two for years to come!

Gemma & Ollie: Married at Little White Wedding Chapel
From the moment I met these two I was thrilled they chose me to document their elopement in Las Vegas. They came all the way from the UK to get hitched. It was a surprise to their friends that had met them on vacation as well! After we had our photo shoot post ceremony Gemma and Ollie went to dinner in their wedding duds and surprised everyone! So fun!
Hanging out with them was so much fun. Laughing, comparing life in the UK vs. the US and attempting to throw confetti on an incredibly windy day (it was unsuccessful). Doesn’t Gemma look stunning in her lace wedding gown?! I mean really. Ollie is a lucky guy. They are such a great match and I’m so grateful I was blessed to be a part of their first day as husband and wife!
Peridot Sweets Grand Opening Party!
I’ve known Tiffany for a few years now and I have to tell you, she is as sweet as her confections! Her cakes are so gorgeous and extremely delicious. She makes so many tiny treats too. Check out her darling grand opening party at her new store front! I am so proud of her.
Last year we went out to lunch and upon tasting a treat from another local bakery that had just opened said, “I could open my own place.” It’s that kind of determination that makes her an amazing business woman. So grateful to be a part of the big event!
Tiffany’s new space is so breathtaking. She did such an impeccable job choosing everything to make the store lure you in and sit for a while. You better believe I have spent some time sitting and enjoying sweets!

Engaged: Katherine and Jared at Monte Lago Lake Las Vegas
I was ecstatic when Andrea from Andrea Eppolitio Events put me in contact with Katherine and Jared. Andrea and I have been dying to work together for so long and this is the perfect couple to come together for. Katherine and Jared both just graduated from pharmacy school. They love traveling and are total foodies. My kind of people!
It was only May for our shoot but Vegas has been extra hot early this year so it was already over 100 degrees! I love photographing at Lake Las Vegas, but I’d only ever gone with adorable families. It was awesome to explore with these two lovebirds. Katherine can rock a pair of heels like nobodies business. I wish I was so talented in a pair, but every time I leave the house in them Sir Luke looks at me like, “are you sure you’re not going to fall on your face in those.” In all honesty, he’s totally right.
Now back to the romance.
Congratulations you two cuties! Can’t wait to celebrate with you in October. It’s going to be absolute perfection. Thanks to Makeup in the 702 for the fabulous hair and makeup!
Nicole & Rob: Married at the Four Seasons Las Vegas
Walking into Nicole’s suite at Four Seasons Las Vegas was like walking backstage at a fashion show. Beautiful ladies everywhere getting hair and makeup done. The best part being that every one of them was there in full support and love of the glowing bride, Nicole.
Rob and Nicole are so perfect together, they feed off each other. These two can dance! Really. All the guests were dancing fools. I have never seen a dance floor so full for so much of a reception in my years of photographing weddings.
Four Seasons was the perfect backdrop for the wedding, romantic, classy, and completely their style. Working with the FS team and By Dzign was incredible. Crazy talented people that worked their tails off to make Nicole and Rob’s day flawless and totally fun
So glad I got to be a part of this fantastic couple’s first day as husband and wife!

Adrian & Andrew: Desert and Hockey Rink Engagements
When I met with Adrian and Andrew the first time we hit it off as soon as we started talking about our dogs. If you don’t follow me on Instagram you might not be aware of my obsession with my furry child. It’s serious.
Andrew told me he had been at hockey practice the night before and had a game coming up. I immediately asked if they would be up for doing a portion of their shoot at the Las Vegas Ice Center. When their eyes brightened and smiles grew bigger I knew we were a great fit. Queue the hockey engagement session!
But before we cooled down on the ice we heated things up on the desert. I love exploring different parts of the desert with beautiful couples. And there is a lot to explore in Las Vegas!
Special thanks to the Las Vegas Ice Center for being great hosts and even putting their wedding date on the score board! And Adrian’s sister, Allison, for the fabulous hair and makeup!
Looking forward to celebrating with this gorgeous couple in November!
