Las Vegas Bridal Photography | Anna

Today’s post comes along side Diane & Kevin’s engagement session in the desert of Las Vegas.  Anna is a good friend of Diane and Kevin, so she came along and we did a fabulous bridal portrait session with her!  A bridal shoot is a great opportunity to get to wear your dress more than once, to take some fashion photos at a new location, and really show off how you looked during your engagement.  It’s great because your fiance is nowhere to be found (keeping the dress a reveal on the wedding day), but you get even more photos of yourself in probably the most important dress you will ever wear!

We had the best time in the desert using the different settings and props!  And Anna looked fabulous!  Now if every bride wore a hairpiece from Etsy and rocked the big chunky pearls, I’m sure I would get bored…eventually.  But oh how I love them!  This shoot also gave me a chance to work with studio lights, something I never do, and it was fun to even include the setup in a photo as well.  And it is a shoot like this that always gives me an excuse to bring film and be surprised later after it’s developed.  I shot with both my 35mm Canon and my Holga.  Enjoy!

The Best of 2009!

While I do have two amazing weddings from December to post soon, I figured this would tide you over until then.  2009 has been a year of significant change for me, a year of growth in my photography, both in my business and creatively.  After going through each wedding and engagement session, I am please to show you some of my best images.  Below is a slideshow of the best from this past year.   Enjoy!
