Las Vegas Strip!- Bellagio & Cosmo

Jonathan and Kate came from Canada to spend some time together! They got married almost two months ago and since they were going to be coming here.. they thought about getting some fun Vegas photos! 

Immediately i felt close with these two! Tons of personality, always laughing having fun and maybe... a little goofy too ;) I had such a blast with this couple. 

We started at the Bellagio where they were staying and headed around to the Cosmopolitan too. We decided to take a break there and buy some drinks.. which is why we got to keep shooting there! whew! 

These two were so adventurous; jumping on couches and YES-- going in one of the fountains at the bellagio.. shhhh! 

I could've spent all day photographing this beautiful couple, they made my job so easy having fun together and giggling constantly.. so much love between these newlyweds! Thank you guys for taking time while you were here and letting me photograph you! Enjoy going home and cooling down a bit! ahhh! i'm so excited to share the rest! 

Kieran & Lisa- wedding sneak peek at Lake Las Vegas!

I had the opportunity to second shoot for Ralph James of Pin Up Bride Photography again and work with his wife who is the owner of Pin Up Bride Planners! (her work is always stunning!) 

Headed out to Lake Las Vegas and right when i walked in the room with all the girlies getting ready, and it was immediately like talking to an old friend. Her friends and family were wonderful and i'm so glad i was able to second shoot her beautiful day! 

Here's just a TINY sneak peek so i'll be sharing more soon. but i had to get a few up!

 Gorgeous view.. the girls did so great! it was freakin' hot outside and we got a few group photos on the balcony. 

Can't wait to share LOTS more soon! tons of amazing details!

Brady & Alyse- wedding sneak peek!

Where do i start? Alyse looked absolutely stunning that day. I've never seen a bride do so much still on her day to help everyone else. And i started tearing up terribly when she danced with her dad. I looked over to see my high school friends losing it too. It was such a beautiful day, full of so many loving friends and family. 

I tried to remember the last time i was in her family's house, the family photo on the wall, and all of the memories of us as kids just rushed back, i might have teared up then too (and laughed at all the ridiculous things we did). It's so beautiful to me to be able to see someone you've grown up with say their vows and change their name. Though i admit it still makes me feel old. 

I've learned so much from this woman over the years, and one of the best things is always laughing. Alyse and Brady had so much fun on their day and enjoyed every moment.

one thing i really enjoy about photographing friends is seeing the details and seeing exactly them in it. Her dress had these gorgeous detailed flowers, and it looked like exactly something she picked. Her flowers she had on the tables, and even the colors she chose. It was so personal and really lovely. 

 

i just had to include the one of the girls at the bar.. and of course a few tractor ones! click on images to see more detail! and to see their engagement photos and read about that session.. click here! 

Your wedding was SO much fun! and thank you for letting me be a part of your big day! it was perfect. Congratulations and more to come soon... WOOOOT! 

Tipton Family photos- sneak peek!

Amie had the great idea of using this beautiful flower field for some photos of her cute kids! Poor Abby wasn't feeling great but Mary (grandma) made her laugh by putting on quite the entertaining show.. i wish i would've gotten a few of her! :) 

We ended up going over to the Matthees farm to try for more, and this is where we got some smiles! they did so good! Sam and Avery were so patient while we got their baby sister to smile! 

There are so many more of Abby just cracking up laughing.. can't wait to show you more! and then after laughing she'd cover her mouth.. absolutely ADORABLE! 

Lots more to come!
