As you may or may not know Jes and I headed to Las Vegas last weekend to shoot our own engagement shoot. I’ve had some people asking me how the shoot went and they want to see some of the shots we got so here is a quick sampler of what we were able to get on our days there.
This first one was shot at the entrance to the Mandalay Bay. Some crazy ninja action broke out and this is me showing off my patented ninja / Super Mario jump. I wouldn’t mess with me.
Next up is a shot from our last day there. Saturday in Vegas is busy, very busy. We set this up outside of the Paris Hotel and Casino. Right behind the camera location is the sidewalk going down the strip and adjacent to that is a bus stop. As we were setting up this shot and taking it people were stopping on the street and staring at us – I actually have a shot with a guy standing behind us looking at us. We stole the pose from my photography friend Bobby Earle – the only difference is he did it with the real Eiffel Tower.
The last sneak peek shot is a single one of Jes. We set this up outside of the New York New York casino. The wood barrier is what you see when you exit part of the hotel, on the other side of it is the Brooklyn Bridge replica. Once again we had people watching us while shooting. You would assume when you are in Vegas there are enough sideshows going on that people with a camera wouldn’t be that big of deal. As an afterthought we should have charged a fee to observe and maybe we could have paid for the trip.
There will be a lot more to come. Let me know what you think of these. Don’t be shy.
These are some great pictures! Can’t wait to see the rest of them.
Super Job Capt Awesome!!!
these pics are fantastic!!! love the eiffel tower one!
These are great!! I really like the Eiffel Tower shot. One would think that Vegas would be a really good place to just blend into the crowds….Hmmm. Strange. Can’t wait to see the rest!!
Loves these shots! Gimme some more!
I love the pictures! Post more! And on a side note, I don’t know if it’s because I’m on a PC or what, but the colouring is screwed up on the comment pages for me and I have to highlight the text in some parts to read it, because it’s the same colour as the background colour. Perplexing.
Holly – I think it’s an Internet Explorer thing, I just went on the site that way and whoa it’s weird here in the comment section. I’m sure Curt will fix it asap.
Thanks for all the comments guys! Glad you are liking the pics, hopefully I’ll get some more up shortly.
Holly thanks for the info on the comment problem – I believe I have it all fixed up now.
Yay I can read them now!
WOW, these picture are amazing, I really can’t wait to see more, honestly, I have been checking every other day to see if you have new posts.
For Christmas and my birthday (today) and with savings I have saved enough for a new SLR camera, maybe you can give me some pointers!!!
[...] sneak peek of our engagement shoot received some great feedback so I worked a bit harder and got these shots ready to go up sooner [...]
Lol, love the “bobby Earle” one dude.
Thanks Margaret and John!
So i was looking at your pics as ive seen some of your work and it was amazing…i was looking at your vegas shots and i hate to tell you but the famous sign of “welcome to las vegas” is ON THE OTHER SIDE of the drive carefully sign!!!! I felt so frustrated reading your caption cuz I to ventured to that sign when i went to vegas…sorry i just had to tell you
Hey Christina. Thanks for the comment! Sorry to frustrate you – we did make it to the other side of the sign but I posted that side as a joke for those that have been there
. I mentioned at the bottom of that post that we knew the “real” sign was on the other side.
