I met Caitlin and Andy earlier this year, a few months after they booked… I love when I get a chance to meet my out of town clients before the wedding, and it’s especially great when they’re super nice, as is the case with these two! I was looking forward to seeing all of Caitlin’s details, since she works for Tiffany & Co! When I arrived at the hotel, it was the usual hustle and bustle as Caitlin’s bridesmaids buzzed around the suite taking care of all the details while Caitlin sat, calm and happy, having her makeup applied.

When Caitlin first saw her final look in the mirror it was so so so cute, she and her bridesmaids all giggled for about 3 straight minutes. I started giggling too, because that kind of happy is contagious!

Looking gorgeous!

Then her dad came in and it was tears all around…

You know how when you’re trying not to cry, and someone asks you if you’re ok, and that’s always the thing that starts you crying? Caitlin’s dad was prepared… so sweetly funny:

The ceremony was at Nazareth’s Linehan Chapel … loving the aisle.

Happy!

I wish people were blowing bubbles and/or throwing confetti everywhere I went!

The church entrance is gorgeous…

Then we headed to the reception at the Plantation… good looking bridal party, wouldn’t you say? The rest of the portraits will be at the end, as usual!

Caitlin had a lot of lovely accessories, and in an effort to avoid this blog turning into a jewelry catalog, I’ll just give you the wedding bands… wow!

First dance!

I love this… everyone was into it!

I need to invite this gentleman to every wedding because he is awesome. He brought the party every time he stepped on to the dance floor.

Caitlin’s mom felt the same way I did!

On to the portraits… the sun sorta peeked out from behind the rainclouds to give us some really nice light at the reception. I like.

Oh sunshine!

Thanks for having me, you guys were fantastic! Enjoy the honeymoon

What a trip!  My cousin Kristy has been a great supporter of my work, and when it came time for her to get married I knew I’d be the lucky one photographing it. Kristy and Tony are so much fun, and I was so excited to watch the event develop- they considered having it here in New York, then thought about going on a cruise, and finally decided on Vegas. They flew me out and we showed Vegas what’s what…
On to the wedding!

I love Kristy’s dress…

And shoes (I seriously can’t believe she walked all around Vegas in those!)

She’s so pretty!

He’s not too bad either.

The ceremony was so sweet, it went from tears…

…to laughter!

To sexaaay!

Mr. and Mrs!

Then we went around the strip and did some portraits… mmmm!

I wanted to hit this sign for the REVOLUTION lounge in the Mirage, it’s related to the Beatles “Love” show, which we saw… it was amaaaaazing!

Aren’t they cute?

Headed into the Venetian for this cool shot at Tao.

And on to the reception!

There was a small stage for dancing, and it was packed all night! I think there was a pool going for how many people would fall off, but it never paid… this is a sure-footed group, ha ha.

This picture kills me… take note of the video playing in the background! If you can’t guess it, I’m not telling

And of course it wouldn’t be a Vegas wedding without this guy…

On Sunday, Kristy, Tony and I headed to the Neon Museum’s Boneyard for a fun shoot (there was also a low-rider convention nearby, which was comedy gold… watching them hit the hydraulics and bounce around as they drove past was endlessly entertaining!)

Oh, can’t forget the rings… we put them on one of the little light bulbs in the signs

Hot! They were so easy to work with, too

And one of my favorites…

Ok, that’s it for now! I had such a blast with you guys, it was an honor to be your photographer

Here’s one quick shot from Kristy and Tony’s Vegas wedding… hot!  More coming very soon… I had a blast
