Josh and Mandie were married last weekend at the Chapel Firenze, Lake Las Vegas. It started off Friday evening with a delicious gourmet Mexican meal and a rekindling of friendship with the Janecek and McClintock families. Mandie and Josh arrived looking like they stepped out of a magazine. The groomsmen carried around their huge glass cowboy boots filled with beer. The girls sipped martini's/margarita's. On Saturday we felt as though we were photographing the wedding of our own family. They all made us feel as though we were part of the celebration. The entire day and evening was a strong affirmation of family, life-long friends and the love that they all shared and it certainly showed in the imagery we were so honored to capture. With the Florence, Italy atmosphere we were inspired to turn some of their images into an old-world style painting. Here's one from our day-after session...
Mandie's dress was absolutely gorgeous....she, was breathtaking. Josh was just as handsome with a personality complimenting every one of our photos.
Justin Janecek (2nd guy from left) was our GQ groom...his bride is the Elegant Bride Magazine's "Elegant Bride" in the current issue.
This is a little bonus....Mandie and Josh can definitely handle a reality show if anyone's interested. They can over dramatize ANY emotion. This makes them worth more BTW....if any television producers are reading.
We ended the weekend with a real romantic day-after session which always provides some of our favorite images and moments with the bride and groom. Mandie and Josh made our jobs seem effortless and highly valued. We're already looking forward to the next wedding from our Lake Havasu friends.
You can see more from the day-after shoot in an earlier post. Have a great week friends!! Mandie and Josh, We had a beyond-words incredible time with both of you and enjoyed your friendship and love you show to each other and those around you. Thanks so much for making our images FABULOUS!!! It was an AMAZING weekend! With our love, Annette, Annie, Colin and Erika |
