Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
I love shooting in new locations. I love shooting in new locations that are located outside of So Cal even more! When Janice and Andrew decided to switch their venue and date to Las Vegas in May, they told me I was coming with and I couldn’t have been more ecstatic! These two started as clients but have grown in to friends. They are awesome and I wish them the best of luck in their marriage (even though they didn’t bring me to Jamaica on their honeymoon with them! just kidding!)
Here is a glimpse from their wedding this past Sunday!
The day started at the MGM Grand with some details
When I came in, Maid of Honor Michelle was writing out her toast
Janice was so calm the entire time…nothing like the Bridezilla she claimed to be!
GORGEOUS!
Cutest flower girls 😉
MGM does not allow outside photographers to shoot wedding there, you have to use their staff. So I turned in to a “guest” at that point, and had a great angle!
We didn’t take a ton of portraits on Sunday…we saved our energy for their awesome Trash the Dress session the following day (blog coming soon)!
Handsome Andrew
Here is the guest book that I made for them, everyone loved it!
They are so sweet together, you can tell by their first dance
Time to party!
Love the city lights!
Stay tuned for Part two of this blog, the day after!
Fabulous! I love the sun flare shot!
Awesome job! I loved seeing them. It makes me really excited to see the TTD session. I love the angle on the dress ties & the toast dialog. You’re amazing. 🙂
And what a good looking couple!
gorgeous couple! love the father daughter dance shot!
Melissa you are so talented. I love the accessory shot!
Beautiful!! I love the last one of them kissing with the strip behind them. Looks like an awesome wedding! And could the flower girls be any cuter?? Can’t wait to see part 2 🙂
Beautiful as always! I love the shot of them kissing with the sun behind them … stunning! Great job … again! 😉
What a beautiful couple and you’ve caught so many great moments – I love these shots!
Seriously, most beautiful couple you’ve ever shot…but I could be a little biased! If we didn’t even get an album, I would be completely satisfied. Thank you for being you! I love them!
Beautiful images Melissa! I love all the details and Janice looks absolutely stunning. I’m so excited to see the day after images too!
Rockin’ the front row at the wedding! Pretty darn amazing and stealthy. Great set of images, Melissa!!! Love the backlit window shot of the bride and that father/daughter pic makes me well up!
Great work again Melissa! That sunflower/ring shot is amazing, what an awesome location to shoot at 🙂
