Jackie & Pat's Wedding Video = AWESOME

You remember Jackie and Pat's Vegas wedding right? Well Dave Williams released their video last week and it is awesome, I had to share. Video is courtesy of Dave Williams Films and the photography courtesy of me. It was so awesome to watch this video back, over and over, to relive the day. Not only was it just an amazing visual experience, but Jackie and Pat are such an awesome couple and have become great friends that I am truly thankful to have in my life. I am so thrilled to have played such an important role in their special day.

Sit back and enjoy!




This is my first official experience with fusion and I hope Dave and I can work together on a project again sometime soon. Enjoy!

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!
