My favorite shot of the day!

I loved this red wall so we did a mock-photobooth and these two had no problem rockin’ it for the camera!

Cannot wait for your wedding (so soon!)  Thanks for being awesome models and clients!

First up, a wedding I attended that I never got a chance to blog! Jodi and Ray were married on 09-09-09 (a wednesday!) in sunny/hot Las Vegas Nevada. They live on the East Coast. This wedding was a bit different than normal for me. I was actually brought as a wedding gift by Jodi’s best friend Cortney!

In Vegas, a lot of the packages come with a wedding photographer and there isn’t much you can do to change that! This is what happened to Jodi and Ray. Cortney still wanted to them to have some awesome photos despite the untrained photographer in their package. So here I am! I had a similar situation like this, for Janice and Andrew’s Vegas wedding. I had to pretend to be a guest and fill in the blanks when possible!

Because of that, there aren’t as many bride and groom photos as normal!  We were very limited in our time at the golf course and literally had under 5 minutes to sneak away and shoot!

The day started off at the Luxor hotel with Jodi getting ready!

The handsome groom, ready to marry his bride!

The ceremony was held at the Bali Hai Golf Resort and was short, sweet and easily over 100 degrees!

These next two images are the ones I had under 5 minutes to capture!

After the golf course, we headed to a lounge/bar place for an intimate reception!

An impromptu first dance…the music downloaded from two cell phones and played simultaneously!

It was a very sweet wedding and Jodi and Ray are obviously nutso for each other!  I was so glad to be asked to be a minor part of their day!
