There’s a genuine connection between Renee and Ryan that makes you feel good about the future of love.
They are so outgoing and so chill all at the same time. I know they are going to giggle when they read this but I really cannot ever picture them having an argument. You never do guys…. do you?
Besides their amazing connection, there is so much creative talent between the two of them! Renee is the proud owner of a fabulous design business called Ribbons of Red. She was so key in the design of our logo and site. Ryan is a talented magician and entrepreneur (who I just recently discovered has his own blog!). Needless to say, they will have talented and creative babies that is for sure!
When Renee and Ryan first contacted us, we sadly had to tell them that we were already booked for their wedding date. We were so bummed as they sounded so great over the phone and the wedding was in Vegas… and if you know anything about us, we love to travel! So, we actually flew in the day after their actual wedding and spent two fabulous days shooting all around the city as well as the desert and dry lake beds. Yeah, it was super fun!
What better place to begin a shoot in Vegas then in a casino??
This type of decor can only be found in Vegas.
Howdy partner!!
Randomly placed GINORMOUS (from the movie elf, seriously…is that how you spell that?) slot machine!!
When I saw this wall I was so excited!! Ryan being a magician I mean really… we had to shoot there. I was not aware of his incredible card throwing abilities. He pulled that one out when we got there. Love it.
You can’t really shoot in Vegas and not hit The Neon Sign Museum! How fun is this place!!!!??
Although I could tell that it was starting to have a negative effect on them…..
But, they made up.
Night shooting in the city of lights. Yum.
When I saw the fountain in front of the Bellagio dancing to the music I knew we had to shoot there. It was seriously a cool moment. The song, Time to say Goodbye was playing and I have to admit, I was fighting back the tears. I know, I’m a big girl. So what?
The loveliness of shooting for two days is the number of fun locations you can hit! The dry lake beds certainly fall under that description!!
Ryan showed us his hot moves!!! I was cracking up as I watched the desert dust fly through the air when while his feet were going nuts! SO FUNNY!
Love it.
I guess they felt sorry for me. Guys, believe me, I am much better behind the camera.
{{{sigh}}}…… I wish we were there right now. WE HAD A BALL!!!! So many fabulous memories! Thank you guys for giving us the honor of documenting your love. MWAH!
