The Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay Wedding Sneak Peek { Melissa + Rick}
Melissa and Rick were married last night inside the Foundation room at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas NV. Melissa looked absolutely stunning in her tea length wedding gown and Rick looked super dapper all dressed up! We are honored to have been there to capture their special day!
Here is a sneak peek!
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 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

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.

{ Carmela + Funtaine’s } Maternity Session Las Vegas NV Family Photographer
Maternity photos are always a fun time. I love the glow of the expecting mother and the love connection that can be felt between the couple. Carmela and Funtaine were no exception it just exudes from them. We went to the beautiful Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
and we could not have asked for a better day for their maternity photo session, it was so beautiful and peaceful up there.
Just before we left a herd of deer actually came out into the field, it really did not seem like we were anywhere near Vegas anymore.
Here are a few of my favorite images from their session. I can’t wait for little Noah to come!
Justin and Susan’s Wedding Sneak Peek! Rio Secco Henderson NV Wedding Photography
We had the honor of shooting Justin and Susan’s photography and cinema at their beautiful sunset wedding at the Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson, NV yesterday! I have to say that Susan was absolutely stunning and the evening was magical overlooking the Las Vegas Valley.
You really could just feel the love between them and all their family and friends. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your day!
Here is a sneak peek of their amazing day! Congratulations!

Jason & Amanda’s Maternity Photos//Las Vegas NV Photography
Celebrate your pregnancy with maternity photos! I met Jason and Amanda almost exactly one year ago when they were just engaged through a mutual friend. I actually took their engagement photos out at Valley of Fire, I was so bummed that they had already hired another photographer and videographer for their wedding day but I was thrilled with they asked me to do their maternity images and after the little ones comes newborn images. Now one year later they are married and are expecting a little one next month!
We headed up to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park for their session. I wasn’t sure how it would look in the winter but it was still really beautiful up there. Here are some of my favorite images.

Las Vegas Trash The Dress Session ~ Anthony and Allyson ~ Calico Basin
Anthony and Allyson were married last month on 11.11.11 at the beautiful Mandalay Bay. I was lucky enough to photograph their wedding celebration and now their Trash The Dress Session. These really are my favorites, everyone gets to play dress up, we go to an awesome location and get some very artistic images! Allyson was stunning and Anthony was very dapper in his suit. They were such good sports, it was pretty chilly outside.
Here are some of my favorite images from the photo session!
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!

Family Portrait Photographer ~Las Vegas ~ Heather and Mike
I had the pleasure of taking Heather and Mike’s family portraits this week at the beautiful Spring Mountain Ranch. I was so excited to see the tie on Landon, he looked so stinking cute! Makayla looked like a doll and from the moment I got my camera up she was ready to take photos! Heather had lots of ideas for photos she wanted to take and they turned out adorable. She may have just started a new family portrait craze! lol. Thank you guys for choosing Moxie Studio to capture your family this year. It was truly a pleasure!
Talia, Brent, Kenna and Kylie- Las Vegas Family and Maternity Portrait Photographer
Talia came to us for some maternity images. She also wanted her family there and involved with the photo session
so we made it a dual session We went to Spring Mountain Ranch for their photo shoot and of course
we had to go right when this nasty cold wind came to Vegas. We all toughed it out though and made
the most of the beautiful scenery. Here are some of my favorite images!
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 Family Portraits-Michael, Michelle, Emma and Lilly
I have to say that family portraits with Michael, Michelle, Emma and Lilly were a blast. We headed to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park for an enchanting afternoon filled with butterflies, laughter and a cow named Petunia. Emma is such a doll and baby Lilly, well she is a tough one to get to smile but man when she does it just makes you light up. I love when you can feel the love between a family, no stress during the photo shoot, just relaxing and enjoying themselves, what an awesome bond these guys have. Here are some images to highlight our afternoon together.
Justin and Susan’s Engagement Session
This past weekend we had the pleasure of meeting up with Susan and Justin at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park

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!
