“I Do” Vegas Style!
Have you ever wondered what a Las Vegas wedding was like? If you’re like me, you picture a bride and a groom being married by Elvis or Joan Rivers or something wacky like that. I guess that is one version of a Vegas wedding. The version I witnessed and had the honor of photographing was something completely different.
This beautiful couple is Jeff and Erin. They had been engaged for two years because this is something that they hope will last a lifetime, not at all what one thinks of when we think of a “quickie” wedding for which Vegas is notorious. They chose Ceasars Palace to exchange nuptials in a gazebo by the pool filled with guests looking to escape the 150 degree weather (I’m exaggerating but am certain the temps were nearing 120, check the annals;) Erin is quite petite and can easily pass for one of her middle school students, so it was a lot of fun to watch her be transformed into a miniature goddess by the experts at the Qua Bath and Spa Salon. I think I can speak for Jeff when I say that she left him breathless at the sight of her coming down the aisle. The hot weather did little to dissuade the friends and family that joined them to celebrate their union and all had a terrific time. Thank you Erin and Jeff for a memorable weekend! Please check out their slideshow for more pics.
Congratulations!
This is Erin BEFORE…….
This is Erin AFTER. Wow!
This is Erin during. I know it’s out of order but you get the idea!
The hotels have their own photographers wh0 must shoot the ceremony. Nice of him to wear a red shirt!
A quiet moment, one of the few of the day.
Only in Vegas, Baby!
This is Yuri. She is an up-and-coming photographer who was sweet enough to accompany me to the wedding and take some awesome shots. On the long drive home I introduced her to Frank Sinatra, Heart, and the Eagles. In return, she introduced me to eating ice cream with french fries! No lie:)
This is Yuri’s shot. Nicely done!

Yes! I managed to coarse my 12-year old daughter to try it with me!! It’s good but I think it is probably much better after a night on the town;) Thank you, Miss Yuri. You really made it a LOT of fun. Really!
