On July 10th I shot another fabulous wedding in Las Vegas. Pip and Mike live in New Zealand but are from Whales so their family and friends literally came from all of the world to share in their wedding. It was my favorite kind of wedding… small and intimate. Pip got ready at The Signature at MGM Grand, and there ceremony was at Planet Hollywood followed by an amazing dinner at Andre’s at Monte Carlo.

You KNOW I loved these hot pink shoes!!

And more pink!

I loved the gorgeous detail of her dress

Stunning!

More dress detail, I couldn’t get enough…

Pip and Mike had an awesome suite at Planet Hollywood, so we took some portraits there

I loved all the crystal lighting fixtures at Planet Hollywood! Sooo pretty!

Mike looking good!

After the ceremony, we headed over to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign for some more pictures

All 14 of them!

We also took some portraits outside of Andre’s on Monte Carlo’s property…

So pretty!

I LOVED this room, so beautiful and intimate

Thanks Pip and Mike for sharing your day with me! I would say next time I’m in New Zealand we’ll all jump out of a plane together… but that is just never going to happen lol

While I was in Vegas shooting some awesome weddings, I had the opportunity to shoot a super cool trash the dress session with Carrie. We headed out to Nelson, NV at sunrise (gasp!) to utilize the gorgeous light, and it was totally worth it.

On July 4th I joined Sharie and Ray in the celebration of their wedding. I don’t know how I’m so lucky to have the most relaxed, stress-free brides but I always do and Sharie was the epitome of this. Best of all she was super sweet and fun, too, it was my pleasure to spend the day with her.

Sharie had not one but TWO gorgeous dresses!

Gorgeous Sharie

Ray’s not looking so bad himself

First kiss!

We headed over to Lake Las Vegas and The Ritz Carlton for some pictures. It was about 105 degrees out at 4pm… they were all such troopers!

I had a lot of fun playing with the long veil…

I loved how you could feel the connection and love between them every time you looked at them

How stunning are these flowers??

Yummy light!!

Favorite!

I loved this simple but elegant cake, just enough sparkle!

Elvis joined the party as a surprise for the guests, and he got everyone on the dance floor! Such a blast!
