Cate + Niko met in their hometown in upstate New York many years ago, and even attended rival high schools. Together, they made the big jump to Las Vegas and decided to host all of their friends and family in their new state for their gorgeous Red Rock Country Club wedding.
Cate’s vision was a soft, romantic color palette with blush tones. The lace draped sleeve detail on her dress perfectly complimented the vibe, combined with her long, loose beach waves and baby’s breath hair accents. Niko looked dashing in a light blue suit, crisp white shirt and a floral patterned tie that matched Cate’s b ..read more

Natalie + Patrick held their destination wedding at one of our city’s newest and most glamorous venues, Resorts World. The Chicago couple knew this was their chance to be one of the first weddings at a brand new luxurious resort on the Strip, and that’s something that doesn’t happen very often! Their Resorts World Las Vegas wedding took place on the Rose Rooftop, which has the most amazing view looking down Las Vegas Boulevard, with shimmering lights and a neon glow after dark. We did portraits all over the property, including a first look in a private garden walkway and romantic couple’s shot ..read more

Jazmine & Ross had a vision of a romantic intimate garden wedding. She wanted the colors and decor to be soft, dreamy, romantic, and neutral with a touch of blush. They chose to have a JW Marriott Las Vegas wedding, which was the perfect location to get lush greenery in their portraits despite being in the desert. She also wanted to represent her Hawaiian heritage throughout the day with little touches. Tropical white orchids and anthuriums adorned her bouquet, accented with roses and baby’s breath to give the romantic, ethereal vibe they were going for. During the reception, Jazmine dance ..read more

Kristine + Brenden had their engagement session at the gorgeous Desert National Wildlife Refuge, also known as Corn Creek. The location has so many stunning spots with greenery as well as desert backgrounds. Corn Creek is home to many birds and it’s just beautiful to hear them signing in the orchard during a sunset photoshoot. This location really shines in Spring and Summer when the greenery is at its height. I am lucky to be one of their official permitted photographers!
This kind-hearted pair hails from Southern California and recently moved to Las Vegas, where they will be tying the knot l ..read more

Amanda + Jose’s JW Marriott Las Vegas wedding was planned and replanned due to the pandemic. When the day finally arrived, it was just exactly as it was meant to be: a romantic, charming, and cheerful wedding surrounded by loved ones. While their ceremony itself took place at St. Viator Catholic Church, the two got ready separately and shared an emotional first look at the beautiful JW Marriott in Summerlin. The look Jose gave Amanda when he turned around and saw her that morning… well, his eyes weren’t the only ones filled with tears.
Amanda’s dress from Grey Pearl Bridal had a detachable ski ..read more

Erica + Shane really wanted their Smith Center engagement photos to reflect their personal style—classic, refined and elegant. This location has the perfect neutral backdrop for the look they were going for. I love the art deco architecture as well as the greenery sprinkled throughout the courtyard. Their personalities shined as they were laughing and cozying up to each other throughout the shoot.
I had the pleasure of photographing of Erica’s sister’s wedding this past summer and just fell in love with their family. Their heartwarming closeness throughout that wedding day was something that ..read more

Amber + TJ planned and replanned their JW Marriott Las Vegas wedding several times. Originally hoping to get married in 2020, they opted instead for an intimate destination wedding in 2021 with just 30 of their closest friends and family. Amber and TJ are lovers of the outdoors from the east coast, where you can often find them hiking and skiing. They wanted their wedding to be a tribute to their love of nature, highlighting the resort property’s gardens. Both the ceremony and reception were held on at the Lodge on the Lawn, and decor featured lush, pastel florals in shades of blush, peach, wh ..read more

These gorgeous parents have been with me for quite some time. They chose me to photograph their wedding and engagement session in 2014, and six years later they chose me to make some memories of their greatest adventure! First of all, could baby smiles get any cuter? Baby L gave me a hundred happy smiles! Such a joyous little guy! Second, could their home be any cuter? A house with lots of bright light, big windows and neutral colored furnishings is really what makes lifestyle newborn portraits sing. And third, could that pup by any cuter? Seriously, goldendoodle + newborn baby + cuddles = cut ..read more

Ashley + Matt were planning a big wedding back home, and then you know, a little thing called a pandemic happened. Rather than lose their excitement about being married, they chose to have a Cactus Joe’s elopement ceremony! When starting to replan their union, they basically threw a pin at a map and landed somewhere around Las Vegas. Cactus Joe’s is one of those hidden gems here in Las Vegas, and it’s available for elopements as well as portraits. They even have a private wood chapel, which we chose to use as the backdrop for their ceremony since that blush color is just so pretty. Ashley + Ma ..read more

Stefanie + Jason are getting married tomorrow in a micro-wedding at the gorgeous Reflection Bay Golf Club! These two were seriously a breeze to photograph during their Las Vegas engagement session. Get this: they’ve been together for 14 years and both have been photographed separately many times in their own photoshoots, but I had the honor of photographing their first session together! Whaaaaattt? Judging by how effortlessly they laugh together and get all snuggly and romantic, you would never guess that this was their first venture into couple’s portraits. Jason is a musician and Stefanie is ..read more
