Working away on a few shoots and weddings right now and looking forward to a bit of a laid back weekend. Months ago we booked a wedding with an INCREDIBLE couple with a cool idea! Staci and Brandon were determined to have a SMALL laid back wedding in a place that would allow them to just relax and enjoy the entire process - the problem : they have more friends than they know what to do with.
The answer turned out to be so simple, but not as easy to pull off. They planned a destination wedding to Las Vegas and asked ONLY their parents to come along and to keep it as hush hush as possible. A few weeks later they'd plan a large reception for all of their friends and family who were EXPECTING wedding invites. To keep the coolness running, they'd put a picture of them from the wedding day into the invite to announce "surprise - we're already married!"
We loved the idea, and were totally on board, SO off to Vegas. The photos were all over the Vegas Strip on the hottest weekend of the year (110 on the wedding day), BUT the wedding was on the 56th floor balcony of the Cosmopolitan hotel overlooking the Bellagio fountains, the Eifel tower, and the Aria towers. We had so much fun with this amazing couple and their families, and though this was by far the smallest wedding we've ever shot (8 people including us), the party and photos tell a story much bigger!
SO here we go - the reception is THIS weekend, and we pulled off a few photos to help tell the story to the guests at the reception at the BLESSINGS country club and wanted to share them with you! Keep checking in, we're a few weeks from really focusing on this wedding, BUT when it's done it's going to be a BOLD, EXCITING one. {miles}
