alichia and thomas are from chicago and planned their wonderful wedding at the platinum hotel in fabulous las vegas. this hotel is my new place to stay while in vegas, it is a little off the strip but the rooms are like apartments with kitchens and washer/dryers, and my personal fav huge jet tubs. as you stepped off the elevator there were the coolest couches, mirrors, paintings and each floor was different! photo opportunity heaven! alichia and thomas had a delightful group of family and friends join them at their wedding, including the one and only elvis :). the wind really picked up on the 17th floor where the reception was held but that did not stop anyone from dancing the night way, skirts flying and all. to top everything off, we got to spend the next morning with alichia and thomas around the strip. even after a full day of wedding activities the day before they both stepped off the elevators looking radiant and ready for more photos! we had such a wonderful time with this amazing couple and wished we could have joined them in fiji for their honeymoon, but instead we headed home to good old los angeles so we could get to work on their fantastic photos! :).

kimberly and jay are amazing, and sweet, and love radiates out of them. the first time we met them was at their “day-after” session, which actually took place on their wedding day, before the wedding! we wanted to beat the vegas heat so we hit up our hot spots bright and early. it was as if we were seeing old friends again and the start to the day, while still hot as anything was a blast. we began at the famous neon boneyard followed by a trip to the “welcome to vegas” sign and then the roof of the paris hotel parking lot which allowed us to get some great views of the ever growing skyline of las vegas in the background. this session was followed by their amazing wedding…which will be up soon, so stayed tuned for part two :).
