Silverton Hotel Veil Wedding Photography Teaser Las Vegas NV { Shelley + Ryan }
Shelley and Ryan were married last night at the Silverton Pool, followed by a fabulous wedding reception at the Veil Pavillion full of DIY wedding decor that Shelley made herself. Here is a sneak peak!
Lake Las Vegas Rock the Dress Photography Session { Suzy + Terence}
We were contacted by Suzy and Terence a few months ago because they wanted to recreate some wedding portraits that were missed by another photographer on their actual wedding day. Suzy wanted some images captured of the two of them getting ready as well as some portraits. We headed to the spa at Ravella where Suzy got her hair and makeup done and then headed to one of their rooms so they could get in their wedding attire. I have to say Ravella made for a beautiful area to get ready. After they were all beautified we headed to some different locations around Lake Las Vegas for their portraits. We had really beautiful evening lighting and ended the night with a colorful Vegas sunset.
The Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay Wedding Sneak Peek { Melissa + Rick}

Ryan + Riza’s Las Vegas Wedding Photography
We are so honored that Ryan and Riza chose us, Moxie Studio as their wedding photographer and wedding cinema team. I had no idea when we first met them just how amazing their wedding would be but as their day unfolded it just kept getting better and better and of course I ended up crying more and more. The day began at the Monte Carlo penthouse suites which was so beautiful where Riza and the girls were getting ready. Ryan and the guys were in another suite.
Everyone anxiously awaited Riza walking down the aisle, her flower girls were adorable peaking around everyone to try and sneak a peak of the beautiful bride making her way towards them! They were married at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Summerlin.
After the ceremony we all jumped into their party bus and headed down to Fremont Street to do photos before the reception.
Their wedding reception was at the Monte Carlo ballrooms, with 250 guest cheering as they made their grand entrance.
At the couples pre wedding consultation while Ryan had stepped away for a moment, Riza told us she had something special planned for Ryan on the wedding day. Just as she was going to explain Ryan came back. During the reception the DJ announced Riza wanted to make a special announcement, so she stood up and explained how she was losing her voice but wanted to dedicate a special song to her now husband. When she began singing I was floored, she was amazing! Riza was formerly a singer in the Chaze Band here in Las Vegas that played at many of the top casino’s in town but I had no idea how amazing she was! I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room watching her sing to Ryan, it was one of the most touching moments I have ever seen. I can’t wait for the completion of their wedding video to share it with you all.

Las Vegas Wedding Photography at Rio Secco {Justin + Susan}
Justin and Susan had such a fabulous wedding day, there are so many moments that touched me and made me giggle as I was editing through their photos reliving those memories. They were married at the beautiful Rio Secco in Henderson and it was the perfect setting. The location was high up on this plateau overlooking the valley. It was gorgeous during the day but at night it was magical with all the twinkling stars and Vegas skyline.
This is one of those stories that I’m sure they will be sharing for years to come and hopefully laughing about. The winds were really strong during the wedding ceremony and about mid ceremony Susan’s veil lifted straight up and out of her hair!
While we were taking their portraits Jamison noticed the moon and how mystical it looked, so we went for some dramatic lighting to catch the ambiance it was creating.

Las Vegas Wedding Videography Highlight at Angel Park {Rosanna + Darrell}
Rosanna and Darrell were married at the beautiful Angel park Gold Course here in Las Vegas. They began their day at the JW Marriott to get ready and did a “first look” . We all had such a great time at their wedding. Between the rick rolling, their hilarious family and friends and the love that was just beaming from the two of them it was a perfect day! Here is their wedding video highlight film we have put together.
Some things we think you should consider when you are booking your wedding cinematographer or videographer. Make sure you have an opportunity to speak with the cinematographer that will be filming your wedding day, it is important that you get along and have a clear understanding of everything you can expect.
Ask to see examples of his or her work and make sure you love what they do! When visiting different companies be sure to ask specifically who shot the video and who edited it. Sometime’s companies show work from a prior employee who no longer works for them and don’t have the means to create the same caliber of work, be sure the work you see and who did the work is who you are going to get!
Find out the style of wedding videos that you like, do you like something very traditional, do you like documentary style with interviews and voice overs? How about the artsy cinematic style? We are a combination of documentary meets artsy cinematic.
You also want to find out if the studio you are using edits their own work, this is very important as they will have insight to your personalities and all the details of your day that made it so special. When it comes to editing you also want to find out approximately how long the finished video will be. Some people think that if you have your cinematographer there for 7 hours you will have 7 hours of video, that is not the case. In fact the finished video depends on the activities of your day and how long your ceremony is.
Do they offer a highlight video? Is that all you receive or do you receive a completely edited DVD as well? We create a highlight video that will be posted online for you to share with your family and friends as well as a completely edited DVD of all the events of your day. The DVD will have a menu with chapters so you can easily skip to different events that happened throughout your wedding day. The ceremony will be in it’s full not just bits and pieces. Will you be able to select the songs that are used for your wedding video? You bet! We always ask that you choose 5 or 6 songs that we will then edit different sections of your wedding day to.
Las Vegas Wedding Phototgrapher at the Platinum Hotel {Tess + Nathan}
Tess and Nathan were married last month at the Misora at the Platinum hotel in Las Vegas NV. If you have never been there or heard of it check it out, it is a really unique alternative option to the traditional wedding location. It was so beautiful overlooking the Las Vegas Strip but had a really cool, hip vibe being up on the rooftop. It was a perfect fit for Tess and Nathan!
During the hustle and bustle of everyone getting their hair and makeup done I stepped into where Tess’ dress was and found Nathan’s daughter admiring her dress and holding it up next to Tess’ wedding gown. She was so cute!
Tess’ shoes were AMAZING! I have to admit I have a thing for shoes, lol, but c’mon what girl doesn’t. Tess took the time to bling her shoes out and they looked stunning!!!
Nathan is such a romantic as their officiant began their ring exchange he was handed the rings. When Tess saw the rings she was rather confused and stated that it was not her ring, everyone around began to giggle, Tess still confused and convinced this was not her ring stated a few more times, this was not her ring. Nathan with a huge smile on his face said no this IS your ring, then you see the happy shock on Tess’ face because the diamond was so big! It was seriously one of those moments that still makes me tear up.
Their first dance was such a romantic setting outside overlooking Vegas. The lights were beautiful and twinkling all around them.
They also shared a special Father Daughter dance between Tess and her Father and Nathan and his daughter, it was again such a sweet moment.
Congratulation Tess and Nathan! We have loved being able to photograph the two of you and share in so many special moments!
If you would like to see more of Tess and Nathan, check out their awesome vintage themed engagement session here!

Las Vegas Wedding Video Rosanna and Darrell Rickrolling
Rosanna and Darrell introduced us to something we have never heard of. From the time I met with them to discuss photography and video options I had asked if there was anything they were in to, to try and find some inspiration for their engagement session. Darrell pulled out of his hat Rickrolling, of course I was completely clueless and had no idea what they were talking about. So while chatting in Starbucks he looked up some videos to show me. The couple and their friends are pretty into it. So without further ado Moxie Studio presents to you, Rosanna, Darrell and their Wedding Party with a super special treat!
We are still working on their complete wedding video highlight but wanted to share this in the meantime

{Angel and Courtney’s} Las Vegas NV Trash The Dress Session Photographer
Angel and Courtney were married last week at the Mandalay Bay and while staying here in Las Vegas for their honeymoon wanted to do a Trash The Dress photo Session with me. So we packed up the gear and headed out to the Dry Lake Bed for what turned out to be an AMAZING shoot and sunset! Courtney’s eyes are so amazing, don’t you think? Here are a few of my absolute favorite photos!
Darrell and Rosanna’s Angel Park Las Vegas NV Wedding Photography
Darrell and Rosanna started out their wedding day at the JW Marriott where they were both busy getting ready for their big day.
They decided to do a first look before they headed over to the wedding ceremony at Angel Park, so we found a private area
where they would get to see each other for the first time on their wedding day! First looks are always such a beautiful moment,
we bring the groom someplace and have him wait with his back turned to the bride until she walks up and taps him on the shoulder.
It is always instant shock and awe when the groom turns around and it was no different with Darrell. These guys were so cute
when they saw each other! At the end of it all we all heard cheering and teasing and who was looking on
from inside the hotel but their wedding party.
If you have never considered doing a first look I encourage you to check out this blog about them, she explains it so much better then me, lol.
Next we headed over to the beautiful Angel Park for their ceremony taking place right around sunset. It was such a beautiful setting with the sound of the waterfall behind them.

Styled Bridal Session // Las Vegas NV Wedding Photographer
Yesterday I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph the beautiful Shali Torres of Hair and Makeup by Shali . You guys may recognize Shali as she is a past bride of ours. She was married last September at Griffin Mansions in Las Vegas and she chose our cinematographers to capture her amazing wedding! I was also able to create a Trash The Dress film starring her and her husband that we shot out at Red Springs.
A group of Las Vegas photographers wanted to put together a fun themed session and we were in need of models and Shali was so much fun to work with before that I knew she would be a perfect fit for our styled photo session. Originally the session was going to be held out at a dry lake bed near Las Vegas however a storm put a damper on our plans so we had to move it to D-Tyler’s studio. It still turned out awesome though just to prove we can make the most out of any location. We shot a few inside of the studio however I was in love with the lighting outside so that is where the majority of the photos were taken. We were able to take advantage of some amazing light just outside of the studio in an alleyway which worked perfect for the motorcycle shots.
Shali is a makeup artist and hairstylist here in Las Vegas so when it came to her session she knew exactly how she wanted to glamify herself { I like to make words up =) }. I think she did an amazing job. It is so important to have a great makeup artist for your photo shoot and wedding day. I have a few that I highly recommend, checkout my recommended vendors to see my favorites!
We were also in for a treat when one of the photographers arranged for a motorcycle for the session! Sweet! It is always fun to do something a little different and outside of the box so a motorcycle and alleyway were a perfect fit.
Have you considered doing your own bridal session? We offer photography and cinema bridal sessions. The photos are often displayed at your wedding reception. It is such a fun way to show off your photos! For our cinema package we create a one of a kind film that highlights you and all your beauty. This is a great treat to show your guests at your wedding reception as well. The other bonus to this is that it is a test run for your hair, makeup and accessories. Most brides go in for a trial run on your hair and makeup so why not get photographed at the same time!
We did head inside for a few shots in the studio. I love that Shali had her red heels and we had use of the red chair. I think it looks modern meets vintage wedding pinup. She looks so elegant, don’t you think?
Give us a call today to book your bridal session! 702-527-0258 or email us at info@gomoxiestudio.com

Las Vegas Trash The Dress Session Film ~ Michael and Carina ~ Spring Mountain Ranch
We had the pleasure of capturing Michael and Carina’s wedding day at Angel Park Golf Club.
They also decided to do a Trash the Dress Session up at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
the day after their wedding. Michael and Carina are so awesome and great sports.
Originally Carina did not want to get her dress dirty but she decided why not?
So we made the most of a gorgeous stormy day in Vegas and managed only to get her dress
slightly dirty. I know many people think Trash the Dress means we are literally going to trash the dress
but that’s not how we do it. Its a session where you can get some truly artistic shots in an
unusual location that you would not normally see a bride and groom in.
They really are some of my favorite sessions! This is the film we put together for them.
We would love to hear what you guys think!

Shali and Jason’s Trash The Dress Session
We filmed Jason and Shali’s Wedding back on September 16th at the beautiful Griffin Mansion and I was thrilled when they wanted to plan a Trash the Dress Session! I met up with them and their photographer to create an awesome video out at Spring Mountain Ranch and then headed over to Calico Basin. While I am still editing the video I just wanted to show some stills that I took from their Trash the Dress film! I am photographer primarily but normally shoot video as a second for Jamison when needed so it was fun for me to put everything into motion without him there. Film to come soon!
Las Vegas Trash the Dress Session- Mike and Carina
I was thrilled when Mike and Carina decided to do a Trash the Dress session the day after their wedding. These session are always so much fun and everyone is much more relaxed then on the wedding day. They wanted to go up to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park for their photo session. After such an amazing wedding with Carina and Mike the day before Jamison decided to come along and create a film for them as well. The mood was set with a fall storm that came through and let up just enough for us to get our shots and just as we were headed to our last stop the storm rolled in again and we all made a quick dash for the car. Thank you guys for being troopers and Carina for doing a bit of hiking in your wedding dress, lol. I hope you both love the images as much as I do!
