Jackie & Pat, Part 2

Continuing on with Jackie and Pat's fun Vegas wedding... I can't help but keep processing images from the day. Jackie and Pat were so much fun and since they are photographers they have an understanding of what it takes to get a good image, which basically means they listened and followed directions really well. They also trusted us, which is I guess the biggest hurdle a photographer has to get over when the camera is pointed back at them. There are more images in this post so lets get on to them.

The rings, plain and simple. Love the custom dice.

Playing around with available light in the hotel.

I told ya Pat was a cool kat.

I love this one.

Jackie having a little fun. I also have some from this series with me and Heather included in the shot, but I am choosing to show you this one.

Love the reflections off the ceiling for this one.

Can't forget the groom! There are a number of images featuring Pat below.
He is so cool, such expression.

I like the little look they are giving each other here.

Jackie strutting her stuff, hot stuff!

Awe yeah! This was a Vegas themed wedding if you haven't caught on..

Some details. Jackies florist overnighted her flowers to her from Philly.

A classic feel to the Vegas sign.

Very Bogart or Sinatra.

One of my favorites of Pat.

Love the colors in this one. Pat was really fun to work with.

ELVIS!

Getting married!

After the ceremony Elvis instructed everyone to get up and dance with the newly weds. He sang two songs I think, Viva Las Vegas.. I can't remember. It was the funnest wedding ceremony I have ever attended. How could it not be a blast when you have a dance party with Elvis afterward?

Announcing Mr. and Mrs!

This was my first Vegas wedding and I have to say I don't think anyone can ever top it. Most of the chapels don't allow any photography but Jackie managed to find the one that would allow us in to photograph it. It was quite the spectacle. Three photographers, me, Sofia Negron, Heather Fowler and two videographers Dave Williams and Jordan Oplinger. Dave will have a video of this soon, I will share here when they have it edited. We werent allowed to move at all during the ceremony so we all staked out our spots so we were sure to cover it from all angles. I can't wait to see what everyone else got.

Congratulations Jackie and Pat!

Jackie's Vegas Wedding, Part 1.

This past week has been such a whirl wind. I was out in Vegas with thousands of other photographers, learning, meeting new people and just having a grand ole time. While we were out there Miss Jackie Bayne and her wonderful man Patrick got hitched, by Elvis. This is going to have to be a multiple part post because I just can't wait until I have all the images touched up to show them. Heather Fowler and I took it upon ourselves to document the day for Jackie and Pat. It was so much fun and equally nerve wracking since Jackie and Pat are both photographers. Jackie started the day just wanting a few photos and that quickly changed to many photo ops, lets go here, lets go there, ooh what about this! Needless to say she gave into a fun bride.

Jackie is an awesome photographer and has turned into and equally awesome friend over this past year, it was an honor to document her day. I really enjoyed hanging out with Pat as well. I had only met him once before and I can't wait to hang out with them again. Pat is a cool kat.

Checking out the make-up. Miss Heather is there in the back as well.

Just getting warmed up.

Total Jackie & Pat style.

I LOVE this one.

You can't go to Vegas to get married and not go to the Vegas sign. I do have to say that the sign was much smaller than I imagined. Thank you to everyone who was in line for being patient during our little five minute photo shoot.

Heather was actually using this little Diana camera. We scored film from Fuji at the trade show, thanks Fuji! I can't wait to see the film.

Fun shot right after getting hitched

We all went to Dinner at Paris after the wedding. It was an awesome reception dinner and the best meal I have had in a very long time. Thank you Jackie and Pat! More images to come, and Elvis!

This is from dinner, Jackie was just a lovely stunning bride!

Off to Vegas.

I am headed to Vegas tomorrow for a fun filled week with other photographers at WPPI. Its my first time going and I am pumped! I will get to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in ages and I am looking forward to meeting many more new friends. Maybe win some money at the slots? Ah, who knows what will happen!

I will be checking email while I am away, lets face it I am addicted to checking my email, I may not get back to you until next week however.
I thought I would leave you with some images of my mom that I have neglected to post since Christmas. We had such a crazy holiday with the move and Alma getting sick that sadly not many pictures were taken while she was here. I did manage to get a few, isn't she adorable?


Have a great week everyone.

Having a little fun.

Yesterday Jenn Childress and I took Pete out for a little photo shoot. Pete recently went for an old fashioned shave with his dad, the end product was a pencil mustache. Obviously he is not keeping this look so we knew we had to have some fun and document it. We already know Pete is up for anything. So on the leiderhosen went! Needless to say we had a blast. Its always good to get out of the office for a few hours.






Hopefully these will help put a smile on your face today.
