Kristine and JJ at JW Marriott

Juliet Douglas — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:00:41 +0000

Kristine and JJ have so much love and respect for each other that it was such a joy to plan their wedding. After meeting their parents, I realized that the entire family was just as wonderful and all so gracious.

Kristine and JJ were looking for a beautiful outdoor setting for their wedding ceremony. Their style was very elegant and a little on the traditional side. I loved their color palette of teal, gold, and ivory. After many site visits throughout Las Vegas, they selected JW Marriott for their wedding location. Their ceremony took place at the Gazebo and they celebrated with a reception at The Edge Lounge, which used to be a nightclub and has been transformed into a venue for special events.

Thank you J & J Photography for these photos!

Isn’t the ring bearer a cutie?

One of my favorite photos of them:

Their escort cards in gold frames with tables named after Las Vegas hotels.

Kristine and JJ did a traditional Chinese tea ceremony in one of the suites during cocktail hour.

Anya and Rob’s Las Vegas Wedding

Angelica McDonnell — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:00:05 +0000

Anya and Rob wanted something fun and different for their Las Vegas wedding. We planned a day where their guests experienced different parts of Las Vegas. We started off the day at The Cosmopolitan where the bride and groom got ready and also did their first look.

Anya wanted a fun and “spiky” element for her bouquet. The bouquet consisted of Black Magic Roses, dark mini Calla Lilies, deep red Dahlias, and Chili Peppers.

First Look

Time to get married! The bride, groom, and their guests gathered in a stretch limo filled with drinks and snacks and headed up to Red Rock Canyon.

Next stop on their Las Vegas adventure was a guided tour of The Neon Museum.

After the tour guests were picked up in a Double Decker Bus and headed to the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign.

Their fun filled Vegas tour ended with a delicious dinner at Circo located inside of the Bellagio. Anya and Rob were so much fun to work with. I was sad their wedding had ended! I am glad I get to keep up with them on Facebook though and see all of their travels and journeys together! Keep on biking!

Katie and John’s Spring Wedding At Springs Preserve

Angelica McDonnell — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:00:07 +0000

John and Katie were married in April at Springs Preserve. Their lovely ceremony was held in the Origen with their cake and champagne cocktail hour taking place nearby. Afterwards, guests headed over to Smith and Wollensky where they dined inside the Wine Room. The room was filled with love, laughter, and an abundance of delicious food. Congratulations again John and Katie!

I love John’s reaction as he sees Katie in her wedding dress for the first time.

Angie And Rob’s Spring Wedding At Aliante Hotel

Angelica McDonnell — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:00:50 +0000

Angie and Rob have the type of personalities where the first time you meet them, you instantly feel comfortable! This lovely bride and groom were married this past Spring at Aliante Hotel. Their ceremony was held poolside and the weather behaved perfectly. Angie and Rob did a great job of incorporating personal touches and inside jokes that only their guests would understand. I wish Mr. and Mrs. Roseman a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and poker tournaments!

The bride had personalized cootie catchers made

Michelle and Keith’s Nightclub Wedding Reception

Juliet Douglas — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:00:41 +0000

Michelle and Keith celebrated their marriage with a Las Vegas themed black, red, and white wedding reception at PURE nightclub. They booked the beautiful “white room” for their reception and hosted a cocktail reception for family and friends.

A candy buffet was a must for Michelle who has the biggest candy obsession.

Michelle purchased a Las Vegas coffee table book as their guestbook.

A Las Vegas themed itinerary for the welcome baskets was designed by Wedding Girl.

Michelle’s known as “Sugartooth” for all the candy she loves to eat.

I showed Michelle the candy kabobs from Sweets Indeed and she HAD to have them for her candy buffet!

When purchasing candy, Michelle decided to purchase Twizzlers that were on sale in her home town. She knew the “going rate” since she buys them weekly!

Kelly and John’s Winter Wedding at Red Rock Casino

Juliet Douglas — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:00:28 +0000

Kelly and John were married in December of 2010. There were hints of the holidays all over their wedding with accents of gold throughout. It was a beautiful wedding filled with their children, plenty of friends, and family!

Some Crazy Corner photos…

By the way, the 3 big differences the Crazy Corner has when compared to a traditional box photo booth:
1. Much better lighting (3-point or 4-point)
2. Much larger groups of people can be photographed at once
3. You get the digital negatives – color corrected, cropped, edited by the studio, on DVD!
