Mark and Mia are from Alaska! Brr! Especially this time of year. If you live in Las Vegas, like me, then you know how lucky we are to have such mild winters here. However, they have gorgeous summers in Alaska, where, we, on the other hand, roast horribly in this heat!
They were excited to come down to California and Las Vegas to celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary together. Their session took place at the Neon Museum (aka The Neon Boneyard) just before sunset – and the lighting was pure perfection!
They are absolutely adorable together! They’ve never, ever had professional photos together, not even at their own wedding, believe it or not! So, they were both pretty excited to get in front of my camera for a fun and romantic portrait session!
Your Beauty Call did a fabulous job getting Mia all glammed up – she looked fantastic!
Thank you both so much for reaching out to me to capture this special time in your lives! I had a blast photographing your Las Vegas photo session!
xoxo,

Here’s a photo of my dad walking me down the aisle. I adore the look on his face in this one! And right next to it is us dancing together during the Father/Daughter Dance. We danced to “My Girl.”
Now that my dad has passed away, it’s nice to see that the photographer paid some attention to just my parents together. That was really special, and it’s nice to have these photos of them together.

Check out this beauty – vintage Rolls Royce. It was actually included in our package with Lakeside Weddings. I loved, loved, loved this car!!! It was the perfect get-away car for us! After we left, we were chauffeured across The Strip (Las Vegas Blvd) on our way to our honeymoon suite.


Wow, this was an unexpected win! What a fantastic night for 

I love this shot of Jackie checking her hair out in the mirror, with her dad spying in on his daughter.

This is the first time Jackie saw herself in the mirror after she was in her wedding gown! As you can tell, she wasn’t excited at all…

Jackie was really trying to soak in the fact that today was the “big day” for her!












The gorgeous floral arrangements were done by 









Jackie’s mom couldn’t wait to make a “petals-angel” down the ceremony aisle!! {Don’t worry – she waited until after the ceremony was over}

















The green-screen photo booth we put on was another huge success! The guests had such a fun time, and really loved their matted prints they got to take home!
This is one of the last images I snagged of the night. This magical moment took place during the last dance, and was of the parents of the bride. Truly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone’s parents more in love than Jackie’s – you guys are an inspiration to all married couples!
