Courtney & Ben’s Las Vegas Wedding

We are so thankful for all this year – How many years have we said that? It’s the phrase of the day but today it hits us a little harder than previous years. We look around at all our blessing and take stock of what we’ve been through, what we’ve accomplished, but even more so who we’ve been blessed to be surrounded by this year.

We are taking this day to share Courtney & Ben’s wedding trailer. We feel it’s a fitting match to post their trailer on a day in which we give thanks to all of our blessings. We’ve found a love in all our clients and feel they each bring an addition to this beautiful family we’ve created within our studio. From the moment we met them we felt this amazing connection. Courtney can light up any room she walks into and Ben makes everyone feel like an old friend.

We can’t imagine all the different ways Thanksgiving is going on in all our clients homes as we know everyone has different circumstances, but we’ve seen all the love you’ve surround yourself with and the loved ones whose been there on all those special moments. So whether you are looking back on the good times you’ve had or your creating new memories today count all your blessing and celebrate how loved you are.

What an amazing wedding Courtney & Ben had at Bear’s Best Las Vegas it was filled with love, laughter, and a lot of tears. We wish all the best for you both.

Congratulations Courtney & Ben!

Christine & Rob – St. Joseph Catholic Wedding

We are so excited for Christine and Rob’s wedding. A little over a year ago we had a beautiful engagement photos with them where we went to Valley of Fire, had spectacular fireworks, and even ended the night in Tivoli Village for our final stop to capture the excitement, the love, and the future they were building together. It was a wonderful day in which we got to know the love they share between each other and we couldn’t wait for their wedding day and all the excitement that would come. Sadly, like most of our wedding clients they had to push back their wedding due to the pandemic. We think that many of you understand those frustrations of deciding whether or not to keep your wedding, push it back, downsize, elope, etc. The one thing we’ve learned this year that nothing can stop love.

We understand that we all have this perfect idea of what our wedding day will look like. Once you get past the obvious, the one thing we know is that the perfect wedding day all boils down to how in love you are with your partner. Letting that be the focus. With Christine and Rob they pushed back their wedding date and eventually turned their big wedding into a small one for the time being, where they will have a bigger wedding and we cannot wait to celebrate it in 2021.

Congratulations Christine and Rob, we hope you always focus on the love between you two and enjoy the highlights from your wedding day.

Amy & Craig Bear’s Best Las Vegas Wedding

Let’s take a moment to celebrate everything we have in life. The love we share with our partner, with our friends, and with our family. We think it is fair to say that this year hasn’t been what any one of us has expected, but we also have been realizing it is something that made us take a step back and recognize what is important, what we should celebrate.

What we love about Amy & Craig’s wedding is that no details were spared for their wedding day. From the guests, to the dress, to the flowers, and the rest it was all meant to celebrate this moment. Being in Las Vegas doesn’t always mean you have to have a wedding on the strip. They chose to have an outdoor wedding at Bear’s Best where they had an amazing view of the mountains around them. Somewhere where all their friends and family could get together and take a break away from it all. We know how much family and friend’s meant to this amazing couple and we wanted to create their wedding trailer around the idea of family and celebration.

We absolutely loved having the drone out for their wedding day as it best captured the stunning reception set up they created with all the twinkling lights. We could go on and on how amazing Amy and Craig is and how loved they are, but we think you should see it for yourself.

Congratulations Amy & Craig! We cannot wait for you to see the rest of your wedding photos and wedding video.

Ellen & Jason – Wynn Las Vegas Wedding

Bride and Groom in All White Kissing Under Arch Las Vegas

It isn’t often that we get to witness our clients journey before they tie the knot. Getting to witness the love that they share between each other has been a wonderful experience. From the engagement shoot on the beach in California where we felt the joy and excitement between them. In the maternity session where we captured how truly blessed this family is. Even the newborn photos of little Jayce were absolutely perfect. While the wedding had to adjust from it’s original date and jumped from a wedding on the beach in Cabo to a gorgeous wedding at the luxurious  Wynn Las Vegas we know for certain that not an ounce of love and happiness was lost on this celebration. In fact, in getting to know them through all these important milestones it felt as if every moment was building momentum to this final moment when they said their I dos.

Being able to see their love first hand through all these occasions we were so happy to be their wedding videographer and photographer. Capturing all those special moments from the details of Ellen getting ready, to Jason writing his vows, and little Jayce playing peek-a-boo with his aunties in his mommy’s wedding dress. We understood how important family meant to our newlyweds. We are so excited for them to receive their sneak peek of their wedding day!

Congratulations Ellen & Jason, we wish only the best for your beautiful family.

This week we cannot get over the gorgeous boudoir photos of Stefanie. Honestly, how can you not be in love with these photos of her? She knows how to switch between the confident strong woman we love seeing in our studio to the fun and carefree side that every woman should get to feel.

Like many of us Stefanie was feeling a bit of the covid blues. It’s difficult keeping your spirits up when you are trying to plan a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. We loved that she wanted to a boudoir photoshoot to shake off all funk that covid has brought to the table. From the moment she sat down in the makeup chair to walking out of the studio with her photos she was glowing with happiness. We think it’s safe to say that scheduling a Boudoir photoshoot with our Las Vegas Boudoir studio was just the best idea to have a feel good day!

Baby Kayla’s precious New Born photoshoot

We absolutely loved Baby Kayla’s new born photoshoot. We’ve been a part of her family’s life since her parents got married back in 2017 at the Royal Palms Hotel in Scottsdale Arizona. We know how much love Kayla was born from when we look back on the love they shared from their wedding day, to this day it’s one of our favorite trailers and photos to share with new clients. We couldn’t imagine anything more perfect for this precious than something equally as amazing as a spa day photoshoot.

 

And what goes better to capture how perfect this little princess is with a fairytale theme, we absolutely loved all the different props her mommy brought for her photoshoot!

What a perfect little family.Congratulations Bri & Daniel for your perfect little one!

Courtney and Ammon Engagement Session in Park City, Utah

Courtney & Ammon certainly reminded us that love offers us an escape from the every day. Love is the light that shines through on our darkest days, love is the fun during the mundane, and their love for one another says “I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.” – Angelita Lim.

What better way to capture their young love with sunsets and the mountain as a backdrop in beautiful Park City, Utah. It was a great escape from Las Vegas to get out into nature and feel what it is like to be carefree again. Courtney is absolutely excited to share her future with Ammon, finally meeting their person who gets them. When we were at this beautiful meadow WOW Trail Top of Trail we saw exactly what Courtney spoke about. How any moment between them can be enjoyed because they are constantly having fun.

During our beautiful discovery call with Ammon, we realized we had to do something special during their engagement photos. He told us how special Courtney is to him and how much her love lifts him up, but in that he wanted to tell her in a way where she could truly see how much he loved her. He wanted to tell her while we were on the top of the mountains overlooking everything below. He wanted to reminder her every time she looked at her photos how much their love means.

 

 

We absolutely loved this engagement session and cannot wait for their wedding.

Congratulations Courtney and Ammon, we are so excited for your future together!

 

 

 

 

Bold Violinist Creative Photoshoot

This has easily become one of our favorite photoshoots. Working with such a talented young artist as Alexis is always inspiring. We wanted to create something that spoke volumes to how she performs as a female violinist and thus inspire a creative photoshoot.

She is bold, yet composed, she holds grace. Wanting to have a dynamic look was important especially in a world where social media is important and you need multiple headshots for your portfolio we always suggest to our artist to be dynamic and represent all facets of their personality.
