Viva Las Vegas

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? 

For Brian and Brandi’s wedding, myself and Kristy Walker (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 people, 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.
