Not only is Melissa smart, well-spoken and fun to be around, but she’s also one of the most awesomely photogenic people I’ve ever had the pleasure to shoot.  Her incredible personality just oozes from every one of these pictures.  I am the luckiest person alive.  This young lady is going to change the world with her smile and her compassion, and I am honored to be her sister.  Marrying Casey was the best decision I’ve ever made, not only cause he’s an incredible husband and all that ridiculous stuff, but because I ended up with an awesome sister.  Liss, you make my life better because you love me.  I love you too.  Here’s just a teaser of your pictures.  I had such a hard time narrowing them down.  In spite of the HURRICANE FORCE winds, you look like a super model in all of them.

We braved a crazy dust storm to get these shots, people.  And look at her.  I wish my hair looked this good when we were done.

Love her shoes.  So freakin cute!

This has got to be one of my favorite pictures that I have ever taken.  Ever.

Married in Vegas! I love spontaneous people, and Mary and Corey are the epitome of spontaneous, fun individuals. They’ve been close friends of ours for quite some time now, and have been planning to get married in October. They planned a quick weekend trip to Vegas, but little did we know they were planning on getting hitched. We were completely honored to be their only witnesses and they asked us to photograph these special moments for them. Two people have never been more perfectly suited for each other. I wish you both the best and I can’t wait to see you again. Heres a few of my favorite photos from their special day.

Getting ready

Some details, the gorgeous shoes were Mary’s “something blue!”

They gave us time before the ceremony to take some photos of the two of them together. You can really tell how much they love each other.

This is my favorite from the day.

Newlyweds! I love the way Corey’s looking at the ring on her hand.

A fun shot outside of the Treasure Island, where they stayed. After their ceremony and dinner, Mary and Corey rushed off to see the Cirque show, Mystere.

I hope you guys had a blast while you were here. I’ll be posting more photos sometime soon!

This past weekend I got to shoot a lovely couple, Morgan and Matt with Jeanna Hayes.  I got a few shots of Jeanna in action.  She’s great with people and lovely to work with.  If you get the chance, go check out her images on her blog.  They turned out great.

 

Heres some of my favorites from the day.  Morgan and Matt are so in love and that really shows in their pictures.  They were married at the LDS temple on Bonanza and the grounds are gorgeous!   It was so windy that day. Poor Morgan spent almost the entire time fighting to keep the veil out of her face.  At one point it even got pulled right out of her hair and it went soaring.

   

   

I saved my favorite for last.  I can’t get over how absolutely gorgeous Morgan looks in this picture.  I wish you both all the best and thank you so much for letting me be part of your wedding day.

We participated in a model shoot at Popular Photography and Sony’s Digital Days workshop. Las Vegas’ local camera shop, Casey’s Cameras, sponsored the event and Casey and I helped out at their booth. As a bonus we got to shoot alongside the class attendee’s during the model shoot. Here’s a taste of some of the wonderful images we got. The models were fantastic and I’ll update soon with their names and some more images. Please be sure to view them at the largest size to see the highest quality!

I have had the pleasure to work with a wonderful writer. I photographed and designed the cover of his soon to be published book as well as his author bio photograph for the back cover. We’re holding off on posting the cover art until the book is actually published, but here are a few of my favorites from the portrait session we did this past weekend.
