Having such a gorgeous bride as Suzie and a very talented groom Joe in Vegas was super fun! They both came from New Zealand to celebrate their wedding and boy, they did it right! Elvis, Showgirls, Little White Wedding Chapel, Neon Boneyard, Vegas sign, reception at Hank’s and even a trip to Nelson Ghost Town! All that made for some eye candy images from their day! Seriously, some shots got me so ecstatic, that I had to leave computer for a bit to set free from that feeling!

Btw, Suzie is not only beautiful, she is also very smart and talented wine maker in New Zealand and Joe is a commercial photographer there (check out his amazing work). Thank you guys for the wonderful time and that wonderful bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from Suzie’s family winery! It was Y.U.M.M.Y!

Enjoy:

Remember this guy?

And while Joe was shooting around at Nelson, because, well… HELLO? It’s my favorite place to shoot out here! … I took some shots of Suzie

And here are my absolute FAVORITE EYE CANDIES from Suzie and Joe:

LOVE to ALL,

Olga

Now a bit about my personal achievements: my baby girl turned … well, count her fingers

…

Yes, she is 4! And enjoying being a big girl! She graduated to a big kids class at her school and even got her own locker! Yay!

So guilty of taking thousands pics for others I decided it was time for my Yana’s model to shine! Tyra Banks would be so proud of her!

I’ve had a couple food photography assignments lately and this one was very enjoyable

. I did it for my friends with the Fat Greek on Flamingo and Decatur. Chefs John and Jerry are planning on opening a “fast food” Greek place on Rainbow and 215, so they needed some shots for the new menu. This menu is amazing… And tell me if there is anything “fast” about those dishes? I think they are going to kick someone’s bottoms out here! Don’t you?

Oooooh, I have so many emotions about those two!

* Nostalgia about the European flavor they brought all the way from UK

* Friendship that filled the air by their funky and loving group of friends Sam and Neil shipped from home

* Fun that was brought by one of the funniest brides I have ever met

* Owe by Sam’s bending skills

* Beauty of the bride and the dress (did you see that dress yet?)

* LOVE that was everywhere this group went

* Tears when saying goodbye…

And the dress, one more time

Seriously guys! Happy Life together and I hope I will get a chance to come and see your babies soon

LOVE to ALL,

Olga

Aloha to all, as I cruise with my family on Oahu and am getting ready for our trip to the Big Island in Hawaii! The weather is super nice, I’ve already got a layer of tan going on, and it’s only a start of the program

… Discovering some awesome places to hang out, eat or visit… Hope to share them when I get back and get more footage. I am having a b-shoot in mind while in Hawaii, jut because the backdrops are magnificent out here… And of course more pic of my girlie. For those who don’t know: her name is Yana and she is almost 4! My gosh how time flies! Meanwhile enjoy your summers!

So Taylor and Brian brought some love to Vegas all the way from Chicago. Beautiful couple with an amazing and touching story was everything I wanted to photograph! Starting from their personalities (that I started to get to know from Taylor’s cute fashion blog and her Twitter way before their date), to their outfits to the limits they were willing to be pushing with us. We had to work with an amazing couple at an amazing location: Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. And by we I mean me and the guest photographer who is an amazing friend of our family from Hawaii: Shawn Fields with Black Tie Cinema. Shawn came up with some a-m-azing shots through the shoot!

I must say I am all about the fusion in my style, and post processing, and I often like to mix it up a bit… So when Shawn told me he wanted to help me out for this wedding, I was so on board! This way not only it’s fun for me, it is also a great way for the couple to get a mix of creativity in their wedding photos… So let’s see how all that jazz turned out

!

ALSO, I have a big favor to ask all of you: Mr Brian (aka “the groom”) was super shy about taking his pictures, and mentioned something about never having them taken again

, so I wanted to give him a great cheer and for everyone to let him know how great he was as a model! Please leave some love for him in the comments box!!!

She is awesome. He is super cool. They are FUN. Their wedding was THE BEST EVER! (aka “THE SHIT” by Jared)

Wow, I don’t even know where to start. First off, when I heard Lauren and Jared were engaged, I was super excited for them. I met L&J at Jill and Alan’s super fun Vegas wedding last year and got to know a bit of their fun personality then. So when I got an email form Lauren, I was so on board!!

They got married at Long Beach, CA at the Grand Event Center. First off, hats off to Lauren for planning the wedding so thoroughly… I think it was the only wedding, where the reception tables were all set up by 9am while the ceremony time was 6pm! I still remember one wedding I shot where the bride had to install the runner while in her wedding dress… So anyways, besides all the details and attention that was invested in preparation, the 250 guest event was full of FUN, LOVE, BOOZE (;)), amazing ENERGY and character coming from L&J and their closest friends

.

So on to the photos… We started the journey at the Syndicate Barber Shop in Long Beach, where all the boys got their groom on

. Awesome place with the character: 50’s era barber shop with retro gadgets, tattoo art, men’s magazines, booze and smoke is the ultimate place for the boys and photographers like me

. It just had a character, that a lot of places are missing nowadays… Loved it!

Isn’t this place awesome? BTW that was Jared getting the ultimate make-over!

And then there was the wedding day! Meet Lauren and her Louboutins

(mniam!)
