Christy & Sean – DragonRidge Country Club

We are so excited to share Christy & Sean’s wedding sneak peek. Christy has a love for the fairytale wedding and Sean has an energy for fun that carried all the way into the night. We absolutely loved how creative they were throughout the entire wedding day bringing in so many special dance moves into the reception and including their bridal party into making something so special for not only them but their friends and family. When it came time to get all the amazing creative shots for video we loved that they were equally excited about it as we were able to fly the drone after their ceremony at St. Thomas More and during sunset while they practiced their first dance at DragonRidge Country Club.

 

Congratulations Christy and Sean!

Nadeem & Hala | JW Marriott

There is something special about two people who are so in love that everything else just fades away. There is one thing that I (Sammi) always joke about, that I became a professional videographer because I want to hide behind the camera. While editing Nadeem and Hala’s wedding trailer I was constantly taken back with how in love the two of them were. Every moment that we let the camera’s roll while they had a moment between themselves its as if they forgot we were here and were in their own little world. You can see how deeply they love each other with the way they look at one another.

But we know that as deeply as they love each other they also love their friends and family and it was important to them to have an amazing and exciting wedding trailer as they came out to Las Vegas for their wedding to have fun with everyone they love. One thing I can absolutely say about Lebanese weddings is they never disappoint. From the Lebanese Zaffe (the amazing grand entrance with drummers and dancers!), to the fireworks, dancing on a cloud for their first dance, and high energy the entire wedding brought there was never a calm moment when it came to being out on the dance floor. We are so excited to share their sneak peek with everyone. And as always special thanks to all the vendors for making such a wonderful celebration.

Congratulations Nadeem & Hala

Jaqueda & Romell | Reflection Bay

 

There is something to be said for having the fairy tale wedding you’ve always dreamt about and seeing it all come together perfectly. Romell & Jaqueda chose Reflection Bay for the background to their perfect day. No details were spared creating their own Cinderella story. We are excited to share their sneak peek of their wedding day with their trailer.

We absolutely enjoyed creating something that reflects all the peace they feel when they are together and telling the story of how in love the two of them are.

Congratulations Jaqueda and Romell

Christine & Rob – Reflection Bay

 

We are loving see all the joy and celebration coming about with all our clients and their families and friends with their weddings coming back to life. There is something so special about witnessing our clients moments, especially with Christine and Rob’s wedding.

The thing about their wedding is this is actually there second one! Last year they did a small ceremony with their immediate family and you would think that it would change the way their second wedding would feel. But we really think love is such a funny thing, it keeps those butterflies and excitement present, that you would think this was the first time they said “I Do”

We are so happy they could have such a beautiful wedding day celebrating with friends and family and are excited to share a sneak peak of their wedding day!

 

Congratulations (again) Christine & Rob

2020 Boudoir Photoshoot Giveaway Winner

The best gift to a new mother to celebrate all that her body has done for her

Boudoir is increasingly becoming one of the best gifts our clients want to give not only their partners but themselves as well. With Covid taking its toll on the world we saw a big shift in what was important to our clients – from more intimate weddings, to wanting to focus on their family, and more specifically an increase in our clients seeking us out to do a boudoir session.

Yes, you heard that right. Boudoir has become one of our most sought after sessions in our las vegas studio this year. Their stories are diverse, but all equally as inspiring. The need to find themselves, to stand strong and feel empowered. To celebrate love and passion. And reconnect with with their bodies.

We saw the difference it made in the lives of our clients and wanted to give back to someone who needed it, which is where this story begins.

Our 2020 Boudoir Giveaway

We wanted to create a giveaway where the person selected needed a life changing experience so we asked all our entries to fill out a few questions as to why this was important to them. We had over a thousand entries and read each and everyone. We eventually narrowed down our selection, the women all had diverse backgrounds with inspiring stories that hit our hearts. At the end of the day we decided to draw from a hat because there was no way we could come to a decision.

We went live and selected our boudoir winner!

We thought we were giving her a life changing experience but her photoshoot completely changed our perspective on not only boudoir but newborn photoshoots.

Newborn photoshoots?? Yes – newborn photoshoots.

Our winner, Valerie, was pregnant and originally wanted to plan a boudoir photoshoot to remind herself of how beautiful her body is as she is growing a little one. Unfortunately plans had to change and her photoshoot was pushed back until after she had her little boy. We still wanted to give her an amazing experience and it was such a blessing how everything fell into place.

 

 

Our boudoir giveaway winner did a breastfeeding photoshoot instead

From the time she won to the time her photoshoot was planned for when her son was 3 months old we kept in regular contact with her planning a photoshoot that still revolved around the original concept – loving your body as a new mother. We hear it all the time from our new mothers how they are struggling after the little one is born and getting to know Valerie it was beautiful how much she honored herself and her body for the life it created and the love she has for her little boy that we wanted to incorporate it all into one beautiful photoshoot.

Being able to reconnect with her body with a boudoir photoshoot was a brilliant idea and turning that into an intimate photoshoot where she honored her body and all that it provided.

Seeing how beautiful and intimate this moment was for her it stuck with us long after and now it is something we highly recommend all our new mothers who breastfeed do.

Our winner received a boudoir photoshoot with hair and makeup included from the wonderful Las Vegas Makeup Girl and a custom 12×12 Italian album, along with her high res photos and 2 prints

If you want to book your session with us we have a Las Vegas Photography studio and a St Augustine Photography studio where we can do not only beautiful breastfeeding photos of you and your little one but newborn photoshoot, a maternity photoshoot, boudoir, and anything else you can think of.

Stephanie and Isaam – Angel Park

Pure happiness is all we see when we look at the love Stephanie and Issam shares. Since they were doing a destination wedding to Las Vegas we only had the pleasure of getting to know them through the phone prior to their wedding day. We got to know how important it was to them to just have fun with their friends and family, that their story was not just the love they had for each other but all the love they’ve surrounded themselves with. They have completely stolen our hearts with how amazing and fun they are and we want to keep them a part of our family for years to come.

For now enjoy their beautiful wedding trailer where you can see first hand what a wonderful wedding day they had.

Congratulations Stephanie & Issam!

Couples Boudoir | Passionately in love

What do you do when you’ve found yourself passionately in love with your partner that shouting it from the roof tops isn’t enough?

How do you hold on to this feeling of desire, love, and longing in a way that tells them I love you and all of you for now and forever?

Maybe you’re a newlyweds and want to capture the highs of knowing what your future holds or maybe you’re like our beautiful couple Cathy & Brad who are so in love that Brad wanted to surprise Cathy with a couples boudoir session.

From the first moment we spoke to Brad we could hear in his voice how in love he was with his wife and how important it was for us to understand how they felt about each other so we could capture the passion and love between the both of them.

So when their photoshoot approached we did what we always do. We called them to find out what will be important to them. 

You can feel the love they have between the two of them so easily on the phone. They are such a beautiful and sexy couple but it is the calm, yet strong, love and passion that they have for each other that stands out above all. 

 

We are so in love with all their photos and so happy we were able to create such a perfect gift for them to celebrate their passion and love for one another ❤️

From the beautiful engagement photos we did at Ones Queensridge Place printed inside of Fred’s tux, to the elegant black and white reception The Lotus house, every detail was thought out.

Jessica & Alex’s Blessed Wedding

“What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined to strengthen each other, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” — George Eliot

Jessica and Alex describe their love as soulmates – they were destined for each other. Since the moment we met them a year ago we saw and heard first hand how Alex sees the world in Jessica. They were so excited to have their wedding at the JW Marriott this year. A big fairytale wedding with all their friends and family celebrating their union. With the pandemic they sadly had to change their plans around and while they had to cancel their big wedding nothing could cancel their love. They decided on an intimate wedding at the Chabad of Southern Nevada where friends and family could gather and celebrate their blessed union.

There is something so special about being able to capture the love and joy that our clients have surrounded themselves with as a wedding videographer and wedding photographer. Knowing that these moments will be cherished for years to come in so many ways: from the first moment our clients sit down and see their wedding video and let us know the tears of joy they shed. Or when they have little ones who look through their wedding album and see how much their parents love each other. We know that We know that this year has been rough but all we see is the blessings it’s given us.

It’s our job to not only capture but to create. Knowing how Jessica and Alex feels about one another we wanted to tell their story. After their wedding we went to Red Rock Canyon to take the most beautiful wedding photos so when they look back on this day they aren’t only reminded of who they were surrounded by but how their souls felt for one another in that moment.

Congratulations Jessica and Alex may your blessings only grow from here.
