Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!

For me, shooting in Las Vegas is so mcuh fun! I always make sure to visit the Welcome Sign each time I visit. If you have ever seen the sign, then you know that it is flanked by fast moving traffic on both sides. When I am photographing a bride or couple there the sound of the passing motorists honking their horns to celebrate the bride is deafening.

On this particular shoot, I knew that I only wanted to see a hint of the subject’s face, and that I wanted the shadows created to be as black as the night sky that I was using as a backdrop. To achieve this, I had my camera on a tri pod, while I stood behind the bride to her left with a hand held flash. This allowed me to backlight the veil, and skim the light across the front of the dress to maintiain some detail in the fabric.
