It’s cool with me if you walk dahn the Strip District to grab drinks before your wedding at Bar Marco. Just let me tag along, too.

Meet the face of the business!

I’m kicking off my 18th year as a professional photographer and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Cheers to my new name, new branding, and new opportunities!

Last summer I had the honor of flying to Colorado to document Chris and Max’s wedding. Since I was heading into unfamiliar territory for their special day, I gifted them rehearsal coverage.

Oh man, I was glad I did! I got to meet their incredible officiant and venue coordinator. And most importantly, we all walked through their ceremony together. I noticed that there would be ample room behind the couple, so I asked the officiant and the couple if I could stand there for their first kiss. They all said “Absolutely!” and I pre-envisioned this exact composition.

During the wedding ceremony, I knew exactly when the officiant would step aside and I took her spot. I was NERVOUS but I grounded myself to see the couple and frame them perfectly in the aisle to show as many guest expressions as possible.

I’m super proud of this one.

I took a risk on this photo, and it paid off. Here’s the backstory:

For the images right before this I used my flash. But I noticed that the light coming from the neon sign was pretty strong and I was curious if it was strong enough to light them as silhouettes. I made a split second judgement to turn off my flash at the same time as Max spontaneously decided to smash a bit of cake for Chris! I had a moment of panic because I didn’t take a test shot since it was an unplanned moment and I didn’t even know if I had a good exposure. The risk paid off as the backlighting was enough to light each of their expressions (Max’s joy and Chris’s surprise) as well as a tiny crumb.

I adore this image because it has the 3 components of a killer image: composition, lighting, and moment. And I’m happy to share that the awarded this photo a gold medallion💛

Chrissy and Aaron had one of my favorite ❤️recessionals at the end of their wedding ceremony! It was such a joyful celebration and I loved the dried floral toss
