Viva Las Vegas. Vegas Wedding at the Retreat on Charleston Peak

I have never been to Las Vegas. 

And I’ll admit, if it wasn’t for checking out the location for this wedding ahead of time, I would have been carrying the impression I’d be photographing a wedding next to slot machines and neon lights, not with the giant dome of a picturesque mountain in the background. I knew that wasn’t the only part, but when is there ever any other image of Vegas out there? 

But Vegas proved me wrong. Kristy Walker and I (of the talented Kristy Walker Photography,) could not stop exclaiming how ridiculously beautiful everything was; the setting, the people, the mountains, the resort, the mountains, the decor, did I mention the mountains? The location was picked because this was the site of the hardest hike Brandi and Brian ever shared together. (oh, did I mention they were cool? They are very cool.) 

And the people. The couple, the guests, the staff. Everyone was beautiful in their attitudes, their relationships and their personalities. 

It was *chef’s kiss* excellent.
