Kelly & Sal: Las Vegas Engagement Session

Oh how long I have excitedly awaited this session :)

If I had to describe Kelly as one thing, it would be: easy going. (Even though Sal doesn't seem to agree with this opinion). She completely trusted me when it came to locations, times, helping her pick her outfits, without worrying one bit. She did the same with Celeste, who came along to style her hair and makeup(and will also be styling the wedding!!! Yay!). Kelly is just very laid back and tons of fun. Basically, she'd gonna be the perfect wife!

If I had to describe Sal as one thing, it would be: a crack up. Since he wasn't at the contract signing & consultation, my first time meeting him was in lobby of their hotel. As he showed us up to the room where Kelly was, Celeste asked him "So, are you excited for today?" and his response was "Hell no!". Hahahha you know men and how they loooove taking pictures. I assured him that getting his picture taken for 3+ hours surely wouldn't be half as bad as he expected! However I'm sure he didn't really believe me until the end, when he admitted that I was right...it wasn't THAT bad. He had me laughing all night though with his funny remarks, like when he saw Kelly all styled and made up and said "Wow, you look better". Or when he asked me "So for these pictures I'm gonna have to like hold her and stare into her eyes and stuff?!?!". It's all a humorous front. He loves her like crazy.

I love couples I can joke with. This, being a reason why I think these two are loads of fun! :) I suggested Vegas for their session because I wanted a location that would showcase and bring out their fun side. It was the perfect choice :) SO much to shoot with! It was definitely a photographer's playground.

Kelly and Sal are so perfect for each other. Kelly puts up with Sal, and Sal adores her! ;) Hahaha. But mostly, they know how to have fun! And what's better than that?

I can't wait until the wedding, to surely have even more laughs with these two. Oh...and maybe get some awesome photos while we're at it! :)

Here's some highlights of their session!

We started our day portion off at the Bellagio and the areas surrounding it...



Ohhh my goodness. Kelly, you're gorgeous!!!!


For the night portion, we started off at the Cosmopolitan hotel. I LOVED what Celeste did with Kelly's hair and makeup. It was perfect!!


Well Hello super model....



Back out to the Bellagio, JUST in time for the water show :)


And the off to Caesars Palace :)

Steve&Carrie: Las Vegas Wedding.

This wedding was one that I picked up very last minute, which always makes it a bit more exciting. Especially when it involves a trip to Vegas! Another thing that excited me was when I found out it was a night wedding. I loooooove shooting at night, and this was my very first After Hours wedding. So exciting :) The venue was GORGEOUS, overlooking a lake and full of twinkling little lights everywhere. I had a few obstacles to get around that night, that made the experience quite interesting, but didn't stop me from capturing the shots I needed! All of it made for some pretty good laughs afterwards, just ask "Uncle" Steve and "Aunt" Carrie...they know! ;)
Here's a few favorites!

Walking through an enchanted garden??? I think so!
