Hawaii in the middle of February? Sounds like an awesome idea to me

! While thousands of my fellow photographers came to Las Vegas for WPPI, I escaped the crowded MGM and the winter and went to Hawaii for a week! OMG it feels sooooo gooooood in there! The air, the sun, the beach, the ocean, family time, frozen yogurt with popping boba, halo halo and mochi! Yum to everything!

In the meantime, I had a chance to second-shoot with our family friend Shawn Fields of Black Tie Cinema. Well, what can I say? We got to shoot at the very new and just opened Edition Hotel by Marriott in Waikiki,  the bride was GORGEOUS and family and friends were kind and just fun! Sounds like a perfect recipe for an amazing photo gumbo to me

Meet Maria and Matt:

LOVE to ALL!

Olga

I really wanted to update with this blog post yesterday, but you know LOVE was in the air and I was busy inhaling it

(IF you know what I mean

). Those two are sooooo beautiful and affectionate together: Texan and Oregonian they instantly clicked the moment they met! He’s a cowboy and she is a country girl. I couldn’t have thought of a better spot for their e-session than the one and only Red Rock Canyon. Hope you enjoy!

And with a one day delay:

LOVE to ALL!

These two Texans are smart, successful, down to earth, traveling the world, stunning people who came to Las Vegas with a group of their closest friends and family to get married. Well, marrying people is what we do best in Vegas!  Or at least the quickest

Caren and Jeff’s story is sooooo cute! They met at the salon handling curly hair, yes, they both are so cute and curly and I think it was one of the main reasons in making their decision on their photographer

They got married at the Little Church of the West and then we did one of my absolute favorite tours especially for guys looking for a very Vegas-y feel to their photos: the one and only Boneyard, never stopping to amaze me Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas, and of course Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign! It doesn’t get more Vegas than that, baby!

The weather was a bit chilly, especially for Caren, but Jeff was always there to offer her his jacket, a hug, a Krispy Kreme coffee and mini-doughnuts

… You can tell that those two will never get bored with each other, they are absolutely comfortable around one another, caring and respectful. And I think those are the initial components of a strong marriage! And I really want to wish them a very simple thing… Look at each other every single day the way you looked at one another on your wedding day, because I felt magic between you two… And I’m not just saying that…

LOVE to ALL!

Olga

We hosted yet another couple from Europe in Vegas! Engin and Natalia came from Germany to get married Vegas style! Later on they will have a super fun and relaxed ceremony on Bali. But for now, it was short and on point, aka Vegas wedding

. They got married in Little Chapel of the West, and of course we couldn’t not visit the most Vegas-y backdrops: LV sign and Neon Boneyard

. Thanks guys fro spending your jet lagged afternoon with us and giving me a chance to speak some Russian

. Gor’ko

P.S.: Doesn’t Natalia look like a Barbie Doll? And she is super lovely in person too!

These guys may be the most amazingly creative and sweet couple right of the bat! They traveled all the way from New York for their 10.10.10 wedding here and were married at Four Seasons! They decided to spend their after wedding Tuesday with me and Shawn by trashing Mink’s dress all over the best locations in Vegas

. Trash the Dress sessions are the perfect way to fix all the mood and busy-ness of your wedding day and bring a more relaxed atmosphere to the shoot in your wedding attire while also choosing cool places to be photographed at! We started at Four Seasons, and then hit all the cools pots that Vegas has to offer! And boy did we HAVE FUN with them! Liam was one of those grooms that  had a head full of ideas, and it was our task to narrow them down to the ones we will shoot…

Since Liam spent a LOT of time here being a kid on trips with his family, we started from the location that he remembers most: Downtown Las Vegas, that’s where it all started after all

…

Mink loves knitting…

And Liam picked up this weapon in honor of his childhood purchases for the “buy anything you want” $20 his parents would give him when in Vegas…

Haha… This location is one of my faves! Mink was very hungry after the session, and said her favorite place is In-n-out Burger, we didn’t hesitate to shoot out there! And look how happy she is

That look on her face is priceless

!

Thanks SO MUCH guys! Me and Shawn had SO MUCH FUN! I really hope this dance picks up your mood for the rest of the weekend

LOVE to ALL!

Olga

Remember the fun e-session in Downtown Las Vegas with Kelly and Tim? Well, they are about to get married next week and I am super excited about that! But this post is about their super fun bachelor/-ette party at Blush, Wynn Las Vegas! Let’s just say people were fun and happy

, so my job was just to capture that

. For the first time ever I felt like Paparazzi, and I bet you felt like stars

, everyone at Blush was asking: who are they? People nobody knew wanted to be photographed, hoping to get into pages of magazines hahaha… Thanks guys for letting me be a part of it! It was fun!

So the girls started at Dos Caminos, and the boys at FIRST Bar and Grill at Palazzo…

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

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!!!
