I don’t really know how it continues to happen.  But it does.  I continue to get amazing couples who show up in my city ready for me to photograph their wedding.  Kate and Rob flew themselves and about a hundred of their friends and family from all over the world to Las Vegas for their beautiful desert wedding.  Kate and Rob flew in from Australia while several other of their friends and family came in from Canada and other worldly places, which is a huge testament as to just how amazing Kate and Rob really are as people.  They are honest and kind.  They love, and they are loved.

Kate and Rob got married on a beautiful sunny day, yet all week, storm clouds were looming on all of our weather apps.  Fingers were crossed for a shining sun, and the weather spirits did not disappoint, which was truly amazing because Kate & Rob had gone to such lengths to make sure that they had phenomenal wedding photos!  Their wedding ceremony and reception were booked for Springs Preserve, but Kate really wanted to take advantage of everything that our state parks have to offer.  So, rather than have their wedding portraits taken at Springs Preserve; she bussed her entire wedding party out to Spring Mountain Ranch. We worked for months to make sure we had the perfect spot, a permit, the right timeline, the vintage sofa from Nostalgia Resources, and Scheme Events made sure that all of these working parts fell right into place.  Everything turned out absolutely dreamy with a little floral help from Lush Floral, Your Beauty Call behind the hair and makeup brushes, and then Kate had to go all … freaking superstar on us… WITH THAT HEADPIECE!!  

After a couple hours of donkey-ing around at Spring Mountain Ranch, it was time to head back to Springs Preserve to get the ceremony underway.  Kate swapped out the dazzling headpiece for another show-stopping cathedral length lace-lined veil that was a huge surprise for Rob!


Kate and Rob danced their first dance, together, for approximately thirty seconds before they asked everyone to join them… because that is exactly who they are.  Entirely selfless, family oriented, and utterly amazing.  Every person in that room knew just how lucky they were to be in Kate & Rob’s inner circle. Congratulations Kate & Rob.  I am so happy that you are finally a legitimate family of three with baby Blue.  ;)  Photographing your wedding was so incredibly amazing, and thank you so much for trusting me to capture everything that you shared with your friends and family.  I wish I could post ever single photograph that was taken that day, because seriously… there is so much beauty in each one… and not because of anything that I did behind the camera.  :)  Wishing you nothing but love and happiness.  xo.
