Like my 10.10.10 wedding, Emily and Alex contacted me early in 2010 and commissioned me to photograph their Las Vegas wedding without meeting me in person. In fact, I don’t think we even spoke over the phone, but rather sent a lot of emails back and forth. My documentary style seemed to suit their tastes and having seen my work here on the blog and my website, they were convinced I was the photographer for them. I have had the privilege of photographing a few weddings at the Four Seasons Hotel – one of the finer hotels Las Vegas has to offer – and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work at this beautiful and classy venue once again. I’ll be honest though, it always makes me nervous to photograph a wedding without meeting the couple in advance to make sure our personalities mesh well together. What I didn’t know, and was pleased to discover, is that Emily has got to be the happiest person on earth! She is so full of life and breaks out into a huge, beautiful smile with ease. Check out some of the photos above and below and you will see what I am talking about! You will also see that she gets her expressions from her parents! One of my favorite photos of the year is the image where Emily is flanked on each arm by both her mother and father and their expressions seem to be on cue! If I gave out awards to my brides at the end of the year, Emily would win the award for “Bride with the Best Expressions!”
