A colleague of mine from the Arizona State University school newspaper, the State Press, asked me to photograph her SLS Las Vegas wedding. I love it when old friends get in touch to have me photograph their weddings – so I jumped at the chance. I love the desert in the spring. The Sayers Club at the SLS Las Vegas is a private event space and bar – they host concerts and other events, and sometimes weddings. We were treated with a ceremony at the same time as the sun set over the world’s largest gift shop across the street – and I couldn’t resist capturing the reflection in the big gorgeous SLS windows. You might recognize the officiant, by the way – I photographed his wedding years ago in Tempe, AZ. This is my first wedding of 2017 – turns out an SLS Las Vegas wedding is a glamorous way to kick off the season.
Thanks for visiting! I thought this might be a nice place to start my new wedding blog, Marry Unique. This photograph was taken at Roxy and Sean’s Tahoe wedding this fall, and is my favourite recent confluence of sudden splendid light and layers of moment. I’ve seen clouds part ways to sunshine on a wedding day before, but never with such perfect timing. We spend a lot of time hoping that the location and the light will come together just so, and on this day, it did.
