engagement at the park, and the sprinklers!

where do i start!? Danette Chappell of Amberlight Collective asked me to come along for this engagement session and i'm so thankful i could! these two were absolutely amazing to say the least.  

I knew Heidi from the chapel i worked at, and felt so lucky to help photograph this gorgeous couple. As soon as i got home, i had to tell my husband about the shoot and his reaction was "i met him once! He was really awesome!" My husband even knows it's a great shoot when i won't stop talking about it and bragging about the couple, this was one of those times. Not only are they completely photogenic and fun.. but DARING too! We ended the shoot by running in the sprinklers, and Bojo got the most daring by doing a nice little dance in one of them. After that, Danette and i couldn't resist.. we might have done a run through! That's when Bojo and Heidi became the photographers for a moment too. But these photos are all about these two! 

So here's a few to show off how cute they are and those eyes. seriously! 

getting to know how the couple met, and seeing them interact during their e-session is one of my favorite things about being a photographer! It's what inspires me during the shoot, showing off who they are together as a couple. This session was no exception, Bojo was definitely loving all the kissing they got to do, and really all the photos in general :) thank you two for being great even with two crazy girls and their cameras in your face. 

So thank you Danette  for letting me come along, you're a pretty awesome friend and shooting with you is always WAY too much fun!   

have i mentioned... i love love. 

Gena and Mike- wedding at The Four Seasons

Mike and Gena Nunez wedding sneak peek! 

This past Saturday i had the opportunity to second shoot for Ralph James of Pin Up Bride Photography again. I got to spend some time while the girls were getting ready and enjoying a few hours together. Gena is such a sweet heart with a soft spirit. I always find it so touching when bridesmaids and the MOB are there for every moment, sharing those happy tears. One of my favorite moments of the morning was watching Gena and her mother talk, cry and hug on each other as they were both all ready. i admit.. i still have moments where i tear up behind the camera.... that was one of them. 

There were so many amazing details of their day! Gena's Veil was her mother's, and her parents were married 36 years ago! 

i couldn't help but snap away tons of photos when they were laughing and loving on one another. but here's a few sweet moments! 

The girls decided to do a shot or two for a photo, and i loved how much fun they were having the whole day! Gena... you have some GREAT bridesmaids! 

i headed over the guys' room where it was just them watching football. I stole them away from the TV enough to walk around Mandalay Bay and get some fun shots in, before we headed over to get ready for the ceremony! 

The whole group! 

the gorgeous decor! Pin Up Bride Planners always does such a perfect job! The top photo is the sweet heart table for the bride and groom, and the awesome ice sculpture you see held a shot. seriously. awesome. 

seeing some of the details, what were some favorites from your wedding!? 

Thank you Ralph for letting me second shoot this lovely wedding, i had an absolute blast and as always.. couldn't help myself from dancing to a few songs. 

Gena and Mike, it was wonderful to meet you, and thank you for letting me help photograph your big day! 

Chris and Kerri- photos on the Strip!

These two came all the way from Pennsylvania to take their first long trip together including their first trip to Disney in California! If you look closely you can see a Disney necklace that Kerri is wearing! :)

The Ravella is an absolute dream for photographers for all the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready in. gorgeous rooms! 

This wedding, i had the opportunity to second shoot for James Ralph of Pin Up Bride Photography. 

There were so many unique details of this wedding, and i had so much fun with their group! While Lisa was being walked down the aisle, her dad had a tear coming down, it's one of my favorite moments of the day. (check it out below!) 

Another of my favorite parts of the day, was seeing how much fun the couple was having, along with all of their close friends. It was a perfect example of celebrating their marriage and how much love they had around them.
