Back from Vegas

What a great and insane trip out to Vegas! It really is the city that never sleeps and those at WPPI will schedule things at all hours of the day. (8 am or 10pm) It was non-stop days of hearing speakers on business, marketing, work/life balance, posing, albums, going through an enormous trade show of all the latest products and software, hanging out with other photographers, and trying to grab a bite to eat in between. I was lucky enough to have great roomies, Kiera (from Indy), Lis (from Houston), and Gayle (from Denver). It was such a great experience to be out there and get inspiration to challenge myself even more in my photography and business. Here is a random collection of images from the trip. Don’t be fooled by the outdoor pictures, it really wasn’t warm out there! Maya and Pat were excellent models and Chad was cool enough to let me use some of his new Nikon lenses!

Fantastic shots, Megan! I had a blast hanging with you out there!

And WOW, Nikon shooters really are more intelligent…(just don’t tell Kiera I said that!) HA! ;)

Girl you are stunning in that first shot! Not that you aren’t always! And that one of Kiera on the bed with all the tradeshow stuff is cracking me up! Thanks for taking some pics of us…I love the silhouette one too! Had a blast hanging out!

What beautiful ladies, and Megan, that picture of you is great – can I get a copy? Amazing what great camera angles and lenses can do!! HA

Seriously, can I get a copy of that first picture.

Love – mom

Vegas, Baby!

wppi2009logo Vegas, Baby!
Early tomorrow morning I head out with Keira (Keira Photo) to attend my first WPPI!!! (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International Convention) Photo nerds from all over are united in the city that never sleeps. I’m really excited to meet new people, know some better, listen to speakers on all sorts of topics and check out new products and gear. I’m looking forward to the inspiration and new ideas I can bring back to Megelaine Images. Since I’ll be going non-stop in Vegas next week, I won’t be returning emails or phone calls until I get back.

By the way, have a very special Valentine’s day! Know that whether you are in a relationship or not right now, there are people in your life that love you very much. Spread the love around!

Favorite Wedding Things 08

I wanted to share some of the things that stuck out to me as very neat or unique about weddings I shot this past year. Even though I shoot weddings over and over again, it stays fresh to me because of all the little things that couples do to make it their own, the emotions of the day, the stories of the couples, and different locations/seasons. Maybe you will find some inspiration if you are planning a wedding right now. Here’ just a few neat things to share…


Photobucket

Fancy shoes.

Photobucket

Fabulous bridesmaids dresses. And ladies who pulled them off like rock stars.

Photobucket

A fake cake! (it was styrofoam) It was a huge reception 600-700, so they had massive amounts of sheet cakes. Can you even imagine how big a cake would be that would feed 700?

Photobucket

A precious poem to the bride from mom and dad.

Photobucket

A best man ready for duty.

Photobucket

The groom’s sweet ride and getaway car. (really his)

Photobucket

More of that tricky cake.

Photobucket

A bride that made her own jewelry. (too cool Amanda!)

Photobucket

Cute and practical favors. Location appropriate. (Golf Resort)

Photobucket

Bringing back lace.

Photobucket

Their dads made this structure for the ceremony. What a sweet team effort.

Photobucket

Throwing lavendar instead of bubbles/petals/etc. It smelled amazing!

Photobucket

Honeymoon ready footwear.

Photobucket

Kelly being a featured bride in Carmel Magazine.

Photobucket

A very custom wedding shower gift.

Photobucket

Dad marrying his son. (the first of his six kids, in his old congregation)

Photobucket

I love flower petals! (threw red ones at our wedding)

Photobucket

The pre-honeymoon fridge.

Photobucket

Delicious food at the Hilton North.

 Favorite Wedding Things 08 elaineimages/09-02-13%20wedding%20things%2008/ParkerWedding0001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" />

A “wow” dress.

Photobucket

A cake topper statement.

Photobucket

Beautiful sugar flowers on the cake. (my brother’s wedding)

Photobucket

Bedazzeled initial cake-toppers. (my maiden name was Reid, so I was partial to the R)

Photobucket

Ice-sculpture.

Photobucket

How can Hallmark top that wedding card? Too cute.

Photobucket

A very fitting shot for an athletic and competitive pair.

Photobucket

Table cards that contained flower seeds.

Photobucket

A butterfly release during the recessional.

Photobucket

Part of the engagement story.

Photobucket

A little stop for some putt-putt. I’m not at all joking when I say the groom got a hole-in-one the first shot! It was his lucky day. (props to Lauren)

Photobucket

Hot day, cool refreshment upon leaving the church. Cold water tastes so good to me on wedding days.

Photobucket

A wedding/couple logo. It was spotted several places.

Photobucket

Unique pins chosen for each bridesmaid’s bouquet. The pig one is not offensive, it’s a 4-H/country thing.

Photobucket

The shoes of the twin flower girls. (nieces of the bride) They loved getting ready with the big girls at the hotel and riding in the limo!

Photobucket

Bridal breakfast of choice. Einstein’s bagels seen at more than one wedding this year.

Photobucket

The bride’s bag. Everything important to wedding day success in one bag.

Photobucket

A message for the bride and groom left by a creative table of guests.

Photobucket

They did indeed bobble and roughly resemble the couple.

Photobucket

Vibrant flowers, spotted at several weddings.

ZimmerlyWedding0548 Favorite Wedding Things 08 "0" alt="Photobucket" />

A custom kids activity book for the reception.

Photobucket

A balloon release on a beautiful day!

Photobucket

I just love this shot.
