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.
Sarah and Ritz asked my good friend Deb Huber to photograph their wedding, which is how I ended up at the stately Spring Ranch in Mendocino as a second photographer. Everything clicked into place for this shot – I remember running through the grass, envisioning something like this, as they walked up the aisle.

This is from a few years ago – I had the chance to photograph a pair of weddings in New York a week apart from one another, jumped at the opportunity, and sandwiched a visit to Montreal in between. This is dad, holding mom, watching the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom wanted to be married somewhere lush – the Lamberton Conservatory was the perfect venue.
